What isThe Summer I Turned Prettyabout?
The Summer I Turned Prettyis a coming-of-age story. Capturing the magic Belly feels around her summers spent on the beach, it centers on her first love and first heartbreak. Like the book, the series will follow Belly as she navigates changing dynamics in her most cherished relationships and goes on a journey of self-discovery.
Belly is used to spending the summer in Cousin’s Beach with her mother and the Fishers. She spends all year waiting for the warmth and the chance to return to the beach house. But one year, everything seems different. Her relationships with Jeremiah and her longtime crush Conrad evolve when Belly arrives looking older — and prettier. (The story also tracks Laurel’s relationship with Susannah.)
