The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

A summery love triangle with some lessons in heartbreak. Belly (Isabel) and her family have been going on the same summer holiday for Belly’s whole life, and they always stay with the same family. The mums are best friends. And the two boys, Conrad and Jeremiah, are close with Belly’s brother, which has meant Belly has often felt left out. 

But this year, Conrad and Jeremiah start to look at her a lot differently, and it’s looking inevitable that someone’s feelings are going to get hurt. 

On top of that, the parents are trying (and failing) to keep some life changing news from the kids, so tensions are running high. It’s time to find out who means what to whom, and what’s most important, because summer, the way the two families have always known it, won’t last forever.

This is a book for #heartbreak, #relationships and #parentalillness.
