About this listen

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.

The Summer I Turned Pretty and its two sequels follow Belly Conklin as she comes of age over the course of several summers at Cousins Beach. Belly visits the beach every year with her mother and brother, along with her mother's childhood best friend and her own children. It's the perfect combination of romance, teenage drama, and family conflict.

Editorial Review

The summer when things will never be the same
Now is the time to re-experience (or discover!) the fan-favorite YA novel The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. This brand-new recording is performed by Lola Tung, who stars as Belly in the upcoming series based on the book, coming to Prime Video in June 2022. Belly spends her summers in a rambling house on Cousins Beach with her brother and mother, Laurel, Laurel’s best friend, Susannah, and her two sons, Jeremiah and Conrad. As I listened, taking the lead from Belly and her friends, I enjoyed sinking into lumpy couches, worshiping the sun, and remembering what it was like as a teen to wallow in summer crushes and unrequited puppy love. — Yvonne D.

One of the best stories I’ve listened to in a long time.

I just wanted to do a preview and ended up listening to the whole story in one day. It was engaging and captured my attention immediately I couldn’t turn it off. Very well done

Comforting

This has been one of the coolest experiences i’ve ever had. Lola Tung narrating it made the story so magical. Watching the series, and then listening to the audio book, I could really picture all of the scenes in my head. It was so cool. Lola is lovely, her voice is so sweet. I would probably listen to any book she’d voice to.

I couldn’t stop listening

I loved this love story. It’s not only about love, but friendship, growing into a young men & women and how our growing up can shape us. I am not great at sitting & reading. Having this on audio was convenient and the speaker was easy to listen to, I felt the story through her impressions and emotions of each character.I am also incredibly picky about what I choose to read or listen to. This was referred to by my my best of friends, more as the story would say, my blood sister.

If you read my review, I hope you enjoy listening too!

I will be using my audible credits to listen to the second book. There is a new tv series based on these books, but I needed to listen before I could watch.
