One girl, two boys…How can Isabel, Belly to the boys, choose as she grows up with them through one glorious summer holiday after another? Belly has always yearned for the inaccessible, cool Conrad. But what does he feel for her? And what about Jeremiah? As Belly grows up the boys attitudes change. Will she get what she wants in the end? Fuelled by romance, Belly’s transformation from the little tag along to great girl friend is also an irresistible story about the importance of family and friendships and long, sun-filled summer holidays.
A piece of passion from Francesca Dow, Managing Director of Puffin Books:
"We
are incredibly proud of every book we publish at Puffin but we want to
share with you a handful of our exciting standalone novels. Gathered
together under the umbrella of 'Fiction Puffin Loves', these are books
we feel expecially passionate about. Here, you won't find the big
bestselling series, but you are guaranteed writing at its very best - by
debut writers as well as award-winners such as Melvin Burgess and Meg
Rosoff. This is Fiction Puffin Loves."
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.
Jenny Han was born in Richmond, Virginia, USA, and later studied at the University of North Carolina. She now lives in New York where she works part-time as a children's librarian, in between writing her new series for teens.
