One thing especially amazing about The Summer I Turned Pretty was that it had flashback chapters. And I don't know about you, but I love short chapters because I hate stopping in the middle of a chapter when I'm reading. MY COMMENTS I absolutely loved this book!! One reason I loved it was because the majority of the chapters were short. And when Susannah starts acting weird, Belly doesn't know who to turn to. She doesn't know what to do, especially with new guy Cam and his kind and romantic gestures. In a summer where some things are pretty and some things are not, Belly finds herself on edge. She still sees Jeremiah as just her friend. But all oblivious Belly can see is Conrad and how Conrad has changed, too. Jeremiah keeps giving Belly subtle hints, even when he lopes off with Conrad and Belly's older brother Steven, leaving Belly behind. Belly doesn't think she's any different, but they know she is.
Everyone notices Belly's change, even careless Conrad. This summer, Jeremiah sees Belly as not a friend, but. Not like she loves Conrad.īut this summer, everything changes. Belly loves Jeremiah too, but just like a brother. He's the type of guy who loves football (unlike his brother who only plays it because of their dad) and is always looking for fun. The goofy, caring, cute Jeremiah who's always been Belly's best friend. Even though Belly knows this and Conrad all but spells it out for her, she can't help but lust after him. But he's always thought of Belly as a little sister, not someone he'd kiss. Since practically ever, Belly has had a major crush on Conrad, Susannah's eldest (and most handsome) son. But most importantly, Cousins Beach is where Conrad is. It's Belly's favorite place in the whole world and she goes there every summer.
BOOKS LIKE THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY FULL
I've compiled a list of 12 books like S ummer Sisters full of summer, friendship, sex, love, and betrayal.(MY) SYNOPSIS Cousins Beach. Sure, summer is about to slip away, but I think it's actually the best time to rekindle all of the best parts of the book. Summer Sisters made me miss a time period that I had never actually experienced, which is pretty impressive for a Judy Blume beach read. I cared about every character in the book, from The Countess to Sharkey, from Trisha to Gus. I loved the open and honest communication about sex prevalent in the novel, knowing that such things weren't strange made me feel normal. There was something completely special about the relationship between Vix and Caitlin, the excitement that out of everyone in that class, Caitlin had chosen her to have that special bond. You and I know that that there were other things about Summer Sisters that made it such an incredible read, too. Yes, Summer Sisters brought out that feeling in me every time I picked it up to read and reread.
It’s the same feeling you get while lying on a hammock under a tree, watching the sunlight break through the leaves, or listening to the sound of the ocean while you laze on a beach, the afternoon stretching out before you in that wonderful, perfect knowledge that it will be ages before the sun goes down. I hope you know the feeling - the one that's born in your stomach and feels like completely endless possibility. I can't remember the first time I read Judy Blume's classic Summer Sisters, but I do remember how much it made me be able to taste, feel, and touch everything about summer.
