The Summer I Turned Pretty Collection 3 Books Set (The Summer I Turned Pretty, It's Not Summer Without You & We'll Always Have Summer)

Product Information

Jenny Han gives us plenty of opportunities to compare and contrast Jeremiah and Conrad—who they are as individuals, as well as who they are as they relate to Belly. Belly is constantly evaluating the two brothers. A few times in We’ll Always Have Summer, she even confuses the two—like when she realizes that it was Conrad who found the dog, Rosie, and not Jeremiah. A similar mix-up occurs at the very end of the book, when Jeremiah opens his letter from Susannah, only to realize that the letter inside was really for Conrad:“My mom must have mixed up the envelopes. In the letter she said she only got to see him in love once. That was with you.” Can you think of other similar mix-ups? What do we learn from these mix-ups? Belly’s always had a crush on Susannah’s son, Conrad (the “bad boy”), and a friendship with her other son, Jeremiah (the “nice guy”). But this year, Belly and her brother, Steven, return to the beach home in her sweet sixteenth year of life, and Belly has bloomed into a butterfly in the eyes of both Conrad and Jeremiah.

Now that you know all about the beloved The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy, let’s have some fun with these lifestyle pairings. As the summer seasons pass, Belly has to choose between two brothers who love her...and she’ll have to break one of their hearts. For Belly, summertime means all her favorite things: swimming, the beach, and the Fisher boys, Conrad and Jeremiah. She has spent summers with the Fisher family at Cousins Beach for as long as she can remember. Belly has always been in love with Conrad, and finally, one fateful summer, it seems like he might have feelings for her, too. But it turns out, so does Jeremiah. And, let me tell you, it’s GOOD. It has all of the drama, angst, nostalgia, romance, and youthfulness you want and expect from a Young Adult series. It also has a “bad boy” versus “nice guy” love triangle. What elements of writing craft do you think Jenny Han demonstrated particularly well? How would you characterize her writing?To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is now a major motion picture on Netflix and the inspiration for the spin-off series XO, Kitty—now streaming on Netflix! The basic plot of The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy (also knows as “TSITP books”) is that young Isabel “Belly” Conklin and her family (including her mother, Laurel, and older brother, Steven) spend each Summer at the family home of her mother’s best friend, Susannah, along with Susannah’s sons, Conrad and Jeremiah, in the fictional Cousins Beach. Whereas The Summer I Turned Pretty took place exclusively at Cousins, the events of It’s Not Summer Without You take place in several different settings; Cousins, Belly’s house, Jeremiah and Conrad’s house, and Conrad’s college. Furthermore, the house at Cousins has a very different feel this summer, than it has for the characters in the past. How important is setting, in fiction? How important is setting to this story?

But I didn’t know if I could forgive her for saying them.” Known for her relatable characters, heartfelt storytelling, and exploration of themes such as love, friendship, and personal growth, Han's writing resonates with readers of all ages. She has a remarkable ability to capture the complexities of teenage emotions, portraying realistic and authentic experiences that readers can easily connect with. But this year something is different. This year, the boys seem to really notice Isabel for the first time. It's going to be an amazing summer - and one she'll never forget... I thought the 2nd book was a little boring, but was able to get Jere's perspective. Book 3 gave Conrad's perspective and focused a lot on him and his wanting of Belly. However, I can't wait to see how the story actually ends in the TV series. Will it be Conrad?
