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.

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.

I love this book

I love this book so much and I’ve read it so many times. I find my self relating to belly more and more each book. I choose to get these so I could hear the actors voices before they play them in the series. I was not disappointed. They honestly sound how I thought they would sound. I’m so excited for the series and can’t wait to watch it!!!❤️❤️

The perfect summer story

I loved this story! The story of the usual simplicity of summer being turned upside down as we age. The characters are relatable and I found myself there with them in the town of Cousins at the beach house, smelling the salty air and the breeze on my face. A coming of age story and learning how to deal with all the emotions of growing up. My only regret… I wish I would have read this sooner and during summer!

Enjoyed it

I decided to listen to this, because my 13 year old daughter wanted to, and really enjoyed it. It’s cute and fun and I read some earlier comments about the narrator and don’t get it. I thought she did a great job!

Love it!

One of the first love triangles where I keep oscillating between the two guys. All the characters are good and you help but vote for them. It's so cute, so emotional, so mushy. I love it! I had to listen to the audiobooks after binging the first season of the show and I was so happy to discover that it's read by the actors! Great, happy ending, great, beautiful story! It's the kind of love story I always hoped for when I a teenager

Great book!

I thought everything about this was great. From the story to the production. It’s a quick listen, so I definitely recommend if you’re on the fence for it.
