The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

   

Some summers are just destined to be pretty.

When each summer begins, Belly leaves her school life behind and escapes to Cousins Beach, the place she has spent every summer of her life. Not only does the beach house mean home away from home, but her favorite people are there: Susannah, her mother's best friend, and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Belly has been chasing Conrad for as long as she can remember, and more than anything, she hopes this summer will be different. Despite distractions from a new guy named Cam and lingering looks from Conrad's brother, Jeremiah, Belly's heart belongs to Conrad. Will he offer his to her? Will this be the summer that changes everything?

   

I thought that this book was sweet.

It wasn't my absolute favorite book I've ever read, but it was good. It was a quick easy read that definitely put me in a summer-y mood. I did tear up a couple of times and some of it had me laughing out loud. 

I could really relate to Belly.

Conrad and Jeremiah were lovely. Even though Conrad was a moody poophead for half of it. I still loved him.

I don't know who I was routing for more, either, Jeremiah or Conrad. I liked them both, so.

I liked it a lot and can't wait to continue with this trilogy.
