The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Genre: Romance
Style: Lighthearted and Sweet
Recommended: 12 and above
Other: First of a trilogy

This is a great summer beach book. It's about a girl called Isabel (Belly) and her summer when she was finally noticed by the two guys she really likes. This novel is really lighthearted and fun and the perfect feel good summer read. There are two others in the series which are a bit more emotionally stirring than this one but equally as good and continue to follow Isabel's story. I really liked these novels and believe no matter your age you will feel touched by this story. I re-read them every year and every time I love them even more. Although I have said readable from 12 upwards do not be discouraged if you are older because this novel really is for everyone.


Blurb:

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 terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.
