So WOW.I finished this bad boy in like 2 days. And I wasn't even trying to. I was like: yes I will finally have a book that will take me at least a week since I'm so busy.But that obviously didn't happen, it suck me right in.So to begin with, this was not what I was expecting. I thought, a fun easy read with a little drama about loving two brothers.I didn't think this was going to be about cancer and losing the most important person in your life and grief and a lot of WEEPING.But what can I say,...

Okay. This is my very first review so please bear with me.I gave Miss Jenny Han's trilogy THREE stars because I have been taken, torn, tortured, devastated, and ripped apart into tiny little pieces you probably couldn't put me back together again. Yes, those books have that much power over me despite the fact that it's almost shitty in a Twilight Saga way. Almost.The first book was close to perfection. Miss Han tugged at my heart strings with the nostalgia of teenage years and firsts: first date...

GAH! I love this series. Love. I devoured the whole thing in three days. Belly is your average teen, and her voice is so authentic, and I love that Han didn't try to make her mature to teach the readers a lesson. She kept it real, which made it easy as a reader to follow her emotions and her love for her family, friends, and the boys she's learning to love. Every year Belly's family stays with her mother's friend and their two sons at their beach house. She's good friends with Jeremiah, but she'...

What makes a good book for me is something that once I start I can't put down-even when my eyes are drooping half shut and it's 2:30AM. I also know's it's left some impact if i'm still laying in bed hours, even days later and i'm still thinking about the book. This series did that to me. 3 times.Jenny Han did a pretty good job at developing the characters throughout the years. With the series spanning over almost 10 years(and even stories from before then), you got to watch them change and grow

I read all three books in one day..that's how good they are. The author's way of writing is amazing and I loved how she interwined the past with the present in "The summer I turned pretty", and I also loved how we got to read Conrad's point of view in "We'll always have summer", because he is the most mysterious character in all 3 books.Belly's character is great, in the first book she was a bit immature but as I read the other two books I saw how she had grown up and changed. What I didn't like...

I just reread this series and it's now become my favorite contemporary books in YA. If you're an older reader of YA, you'll think this is silly. But if you're the right age (13-18) this will really connect with you.

3.5 stars

Oh man.I guess I should have known these books would crash and burn once Belly said "Girls don't want you to ask permission for a kiss. They want spontaneity." Yeah, girl, speak for yourself. Consent is important. Shove off.I read the Burn for Burn trilogy by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian a month or so before I read this series, and I really liked those books. I had a series bindup of the Summer trilogy so I sped through all the books in less than a week. Despite how much I ended up disliking the...

3.5 StarsAs a big fan of Jenny Han, I had been waiting to read The Summer I Turned Pretty for so long. The summer vibes originally drew me in, and I enjoyed reading about life at a beach house. The main character is enjoyable, but she does have her moments that put me off. As well, the third and final instalment ruined the trilogy for me, and I was very dissatisfied with the ending. If you are looking to read this series, I would still recommend the first and the second book.Full Series Review o...

4/5 I devoured the trilogy in 48H. It was cute, especially the first and second book - the third was less summery, more complicated, so it's my least favorite. A perfect light read for sunny days!

The Summer I Turned Pretty: 3 starsAfter loving Jenny Han's To All The Boys I Loved Before series I had high expectations for this and unfortunately I was let down. The main character, Belly, was unbelievably immature and whiny. The way that she viewed the boys, as though she relied on them for her own happiness and her reason for even being alive - I couldn't stand it. I did give her some slack considering her age and I'm sure there were some things that she did that I would've done too when I

What a lovely summerread! I really enjoyed the first book, it was the perfect book for this season. The second book has a severe case of second book syndrome, I really had to drag myself through it.. But the third book was really summerish again and I'd really enjoyed that one!I am #TeamJeremiah from the first page until the very last. (view spoiler)[In the third book, I really did not knew what she was gonna do. Say yes with strong intentions, or say no because of Con. I was not expecting no be...

This was an absolutely incredible series. I will need to get my own copy of this so I can read it over and over and over again.

Heart-warming and heart-breaking..."The Summer"-trilogy isn`t for everyone, but for people like me its everything i could have wished for when i was in 6:th grade in school. Belly and the Fisher brothers were an unlikely love-triangle and i just adored all three of them while Conrad Fisher always had my whole heart. After pushing Belly away in the first two books, we watch him fight for Belly`s heart in the last book "We`ll Always have Summer"...it is an beautiful and epic tale of love, tragic,

Loved this series! Started reading book 1 and couldn't stop until I'd finished book 3. Although these books would be classed as contemporary YA romance, that really doesn't do them justice. Really, they are books about the importance of family, friends, and about growing up and figuring out that life is seldom simple ... The central character, Belly (Isabel), is a fairly typical teenage girl. I liked that she wasn't made out to be some perfect heroine. She was bratty and whiny at times, often co...

I was going to review all of these individually, but I couldn’t put them down and read them all in one shot. I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting from this series. I think part of me imagined it to be just a nice light beach read, hence the word summer. I was dead wrong; these books were so much more. I should have known though, Ginger recommended them to me and she tends to be partial to the emotional contemporary books. Don’t be discouraged though, they were far from being dark and depres...

The Summer I Turned Pretty: 3 starsIt's not Summer Without you: 4 starsWe'll always have Summer: 2.5 starsOverall rating: 3 stars“Nothing, nothing felt better than the way sand felt beneath my feet. It was both solid and shifting. Constant and ever-changing. It was summer.”The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy had it's moments of pure bliss but also moments of utter stupidity. But it was still an addictive and compelling story. I feel though that the cringe worthy moments in the book series outweig...

Note: may contain spoilers. I've tried to mark them, but still I may be spoilering!1: 3/5. The first book was okay. I had trouble getting into the story and also sympathising with Belly. By the way, why would she introduce herself as Belly if she dislikes the name that much? It's so strange.... As the story picked up its pace, it got easier to stay in the story, but still, it didn't feel like it grabbed my attention like other books have before. I found the little twist (view spoiler)[regarding

I liked the first two books. I hated the third. I absolutely hated it. Okay, let's set the scene here: Belly (or Isabel) grew up around these two dudes. their mom and her mom are bffs and belly feels very close to their mom (Suzannah). belly spends the first book pining over Conrad who is an ass, but also kinda likes her. there's also a subplot surrounding the boy's parents and their marriage and that. okay. so far, so good. second book, she kinda starts dating Conrad but then he goes AWOL after...
