"The Summer I Turned Pretty offers a hard-to-resist combination --
a beach house, summer love, enduring friendship. A deliciously
sweet read." -- Deb Caletti, author of Honey, Baby, Sweetheart and
Wild Roses
"Belly's dawning awareness of her sexuality and that of the boys is
a strong theme, as is the sense of summer as a separate and
reflective time and place. Readers get glimpses of kisses on the
beach, her best friend's flirtations during one summer's visit, a
first date." -- Kirkus Reviews
"If I could live inside this amazing book, I would. I would inhale
the ocean air and soak up the sun, and I would hang out all day
with kind-wonderful-funny-awkward Belly and her two
known-'em-forever buds, Jeremiah and Conrad. I'd watch the three of
them stop being kids and start being more...and I'd hope hope hope
that when Belly falls in love -- 'cause you know she will -- she'd
give her heart to the exact right boy." -- Lauren Myracle, author
of the ttyl series and Bliss
"This book has what every girl wants in a summer." -- Sarah Dessen,
author of Just Listen and Lock and Key
"This well-written coming-of-age story introduces 15-year-old
Isabel, aka Belly, for whom summer has always been the most
important time of year. Han (Shug) realistically balances Belly's
naïveté with her awareness of the changes the years have brought.
Han's novel offers plenty of summertime drama." -- Starred review
from Publishers Weekly
