The Summer I Turned Pretty is a trilogy of books by Jenny Han – a coming of age story centring around Isabel “Belly” when she spends summers by the beach with her mother Laurel, older brother Steven, her mother’s childhood best friend Susannah and her sons Conrad and Jeremiah (with whom Belly becomes entangled in a love triangle).
Whilst the story may diverge from Jenny Han’s novels, in the second book in the series – It’s Not Summer Without You – Susannah dies from breast cancer, Conrad’s grief laying a weight on his new relationship with Belly.
