Belly has an unforgettable summer in this stunning start to the Summer I Turned Pretty series from the New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (now a major motion picture!), Jenny Han. Some summers are just destined to be pretty. Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

"I picked up this book just to read because nothing else looked good, and I ended up loving it. It was funny, heart-wrenching, and made you go "Awwww" at some points. I definitely recommend it more for girls, because it's mostly about love. If you love chick-lit, go read this book right now."

— Sheena, 2/12/2014" This book was good and I enjoyed reading it. The author does a nice job of portraying the characters. It also gets you into that summer mood where you just want to go to the beach! Im excited to read the second one. "
— Kathryn, 2/8/2014" The author did such a good job of disguising the love interest that I just wasn't that interested and liked others better. Ok , but certainly not a reread. "

— LouiseIsa, 5/19/2013" This book is good for teenagers, like me. I enjoyed reading it and it made me think about life. Belly is the image of girls who think they aren't pretty enough for the boy they like. This is a great book! I'm currently reading its sequel and I am loving it! "
— Kyle, 3/31/2013" The style of writing was so fluent and intriguing. So different. The flashes between Belly's life fit together so well. The ending had a twist that completely surprised me. It brought tears to my eyes for maybe four chapters. I can't wait to read the next book! "

— Dss98, 8/25/2012" I thought it was going to be a total fluff book and it did have a lot of fluff... But it had a serious side too. Not pure candy reading. "

— Mad, 5/23/2011" this book was a very cute story and had a beautiful setting. it had some romace which was a great addition to the plot. i definitely reccomend it. it is more of a book written for 13 or older...it just has some of those "teeks" that younger kids might not catch or understand. "
— Karolyn, 5/23/2011" Its a fairly light hearted book, but you somehow get quite connected with the characters, and you start to feel linked with the story. It was a joy to read :) "
— Lydia, 5/22/2011" This book easily took a place in my top 5 favorite chick lit/teen romance books, and those are all I ever read. I also just finished the second sequel and cannot wait to get my hands on the third book! "
— Hilary, 5/19/2011" Silly nonsense of a book, but to the author's credit, I am a grown woman reading a very ya book for some relaxing reading for a change. "
— Katie, 5/18/2011" I'm so conflicted over this book. The summer-romance-lover in me absolutely adored this story. But the intern in me made me look at the characters critically and see all the flaws. I have absolutely no clue how to rate it. <br/> "
