The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

  • Twitter summary: Summers have also been about Belly and her boys: her brother Steven and the two Beck brothers (sons of her mom’s best friend), Conrad and Jeremiah.
  • The good: I was curious enough to find out what is the raison d’etre so I stuck with it and felt glimmers of hope for Belly and her character’s growth.
  • The bad: I think I have outgrown the majority of YA novels and this saddens me deeply [Note: Midnight Sun is on my TBR and as a pre-teen girl who loved reading the Twilight series, I am excited for Midnight Sun but also terrified that my disillusioned memory of it will be broken]. With that being said, I will not continue reading this series as I could not appreciate each character’s immaturity — why is it always about Conrad and/or *insert name of best friend’s older brother here* with their cool-guy demeanor and carefree outward personality yet it is up to the girl to fix him? I’m over it.
