Every year Isabel spends a perfect summer at her favourite place in the world - the Fisher family's beach house. It has everything a girl could want: a swimming pool, a private stretch of sandy beach... and two (very cute) boys: Unavailable, aloof Conrad - who she's been in love with forever - and friendly, relaxed Jeremiah- the only one who's ever really paid her any attention. The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Hann is a coming to age story told in a trilogy. It combines family dynamics, with a side of romance and plenty of emotion to make for some intriguing young adult romance. Summer love abounds for Isabel the lead characters who goes by Belly. She has always loved the summers as they meant that she got to enjoy all her favorite things that included the beach, swimming and Conrad and Jeremiah the Fischer boys. Conrad was the eldest of the Fischer boys and something of the elder brother that Belly never had. He is a moody and complicated character with his dark looks, and guitar playing interests, which had turned on Belly since they were little. On his part, he saw Isabel as his younger sister and never had interest in her until he suddenly discovered that she had grown into a beautiful woman. Jeremiah was the lighter, brighter and more humorous brother who tended to be a more easy going personality. He has a casual attitude to almost everything and it looks like he never stands a chance at getting Belly over his more alpha brother. It has been a tradition for Belly to spend the summer at Cousins Beach, where the brothers also vacation every year without fail. She has always had an enormous crush on Conrad until it seems that he might just reciprocate her feelings though Jeremiah also wants in too. With the passing summers, she goes from Conrad to Jeremiah but finally has to make a decision that will surely disappoint and break the heart of one of them. The novels take you through first kisses, broken hearts, midnight swimming, and carnivals. Isabel gets caught between the old age story of the golden guy and the bad boy and the choice has never been harder. The Summer I Turned Pretty books, which were originally released between 2009 and 2011, follow the complicated love life of Isabel “Belly” Conklin when she overgoes a transformation from awkward tween to blossoming beauty. Every summer, Belly, her mom, and her big brother Steven head to Cousins Beach to spend the season with her mom’s best friend and her two oh-so-handsome sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. But this summer is different. Conrad, Belly’s longtime crush, seems to finally feel the same way about her… just as Jeremiah also starts to see Belly as someone more than Steven’s little sister. It’s a love triangle that makes this summer, one Belly will never forget.Belly and Conrad come to terms with the end of their relationship, and she starts to build a romantic bond with Jeremiah. We’ll Always Have Summer She’s only been in love twice in her life, with Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. But this summer, she has to make the final decision. I'd gone into this with incredibly low expectations because I already knew I was going to like the show much more than the books based off of what I'd heard, and I was very, very correct. In the novel, Steven is not a focal point. He goes on a road trip with his and Belly's dad, not being there for the majority of events. But the show not only gave him a storyline (a romantic one at that), he's also there to provide some much needed older sibling comic relief. Every summer, the Conklins—Belly, her brother Steven, and her mother Laurel—stay in Cousins Beach with Laurel's best friend, Susannah Fisher, and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Belly has had a crush on Conrad since she was twelve, but says he only sees her as a little girl. Upon their arrival, Belly and Laurel notice that Conrad is behaving uncharacteristically. Belly tries to confront him about his aloofness, but is interrupted by Jeremiah and Steven, who go with Conrad to a bonfire party on the beach. At the urging of her best friend Taylor, Belly sneaks out to go to the bonfire. She sees Conrad kissing a girl, Nicole, who he escorted to the previous year's debutante ball. After arguing with both Conrad and Steven, Belly sits alone. She is approached by a boy named Cam; they hit it off and end up kissing. Conrad gets into a drunken fight and the police break up the party. Belly decides to accept Susannah's invitation to be a debutante.

So well spoken, so unique, so original, AMEN BROTHER. No scene has truly ever frightened me so much, to the point where I just had to wrench this book out of my own hands and go take ten minutes' breather in the bathroom. But since this review isn't marked with SPOILER, I'll just say that you will have to stop and re-read a few times what has actually happened at this 90-degree-climax.
