Jenny Han | The summer I turned pretty
The Summer I Became Pretty is the first novel in Jenny Han’s trilogy of the same name, which tells the emotional growth of teenage Isabel “Bellie” Conklin during one unforgettable summer.
Every year, Belle spends the summer with her family at the Fisher family’s beach house in Cousins Beach. There, she is surrounded by her two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah, who have been a part of her life since childhood. But this summer, everything changes: Belle is no longer the little girl everyone knows, but a young woman who attracts the attention of the boys around her.
As she tries to understand her feelings and choose between her two brothers, Belle is faced with first love, jealousy, and the pain of growing up. The situation is further complicated when she discovers that Conrad and Jeremiah’s mother, Susanna, is hiding a serious secret—her cancer has returned. This revelation casts a shadow over the otherwise carefree summer and forces everyone to confront reality.
"The Summer I Became Pretty" is a touching story of love, loss, and the transition from childhood to adulthood. With her gentle style and authentic characters, Jenny Han creates a novel that will touch readers' hearts and make them reflect on their memories of youth.
