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.

First audio book

Ok, so I am NOT a fan of audiobooks. I feel like I do a better job narrating in my head BUT I read this book back in highschool 10 years ago so I thought I’d give the audiobook a shot since it was narrated by Lola Tung . I am SOOOOO happy I gave it a chance ! You won’t regret it , I loved it just as much as when I first read it .

Entertaining with lovely narration

I confess I watched the series on Amazon before knowing it was a book, but I quickly wanted to finish the story. I've now listened to the who series on audio book and grwlty enjoyed them all. I very much enjoyed Lola Tung as Belly both in the series and as narrator of these books. A great choice to continue our journey with Belly and the Fischer boys.

Loved the narrator

It was so special that the narrator sounded so into it the whole time. I looked it up, and apparently she’s Belly’s actress in the new show, so that made it SO much more immersive. You could really feel all the love for the character.

Soooo good


This book was so good and the main character was well written: fun but not reckless, good but not a mary sue, and so on. The reader perfectly fits the main character and sounds like a very smiley, genuine person and wouldn’t you know? It’s actually the person who plays Belly in the TV version! I really enjoyed this book and you should definitely check out the series (which I probably prefer more but the book is still super good). I would definitely recommend this book as a 13 year old girl.

A little slow, not my fav

I had debated which to do first: listen to the audiobook or watch the tv show of the Summer I Turned Pretty. I listened to the book first and regret it. The story was slow at times and it wasn’t until the last 45 min I was truly invested. The author did a good job capturing what it’s like to be a 15-16 year old girl, but as a 29 year old female reader, I found myself very annoyed with the main character throughout the book. I know my demographic may not be the main target for the book. From what I’ve heard about the show, I think I would enjoy that more.
