Many young adult novels have been adapted into movies and shows that have become fan favorites. From dystopian tales like the Divergent and Hunger Games trilogies, tearjerkers like The Fault in Our Stars (2014) and Bridge to Terabithia (2007), awkward romances like Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging (2008) and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) or our favorite vampire couple in the Twilight series. Now, one of the queens of YA, Jenny Han, who gave us the To All the Boys trilogy which Netflix adapted into hit movies has given us another gem for adaptation called The Summer I Turned Pretty.

The Summer I Turned Pretty is a romantic drama series that tells the story of Belly. During an annual summer vacation at her family friend’s beach house, she reunites with her friends, Jeremiah and Conrad, who also happen to be brothers and now, Belly is stuck in a love triangle between the two brothers. Belly’s summer is filled with love, heartbreaks, and betrayal which all makes for some juicy YA rom-com drama. The show stars Lola Tung, Rachel Blanchard, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Jackie Chung, Alfredo Narciso, Sean Kaufman, and Minnie Mills.

Amazon gave a series order for the show on February 8, 2021. The show is based on Jenny Han’s coming-of-age novel of the same name. Han is also credited as co-creator of the show alongside Gabrielle Stanton (Ugly Betty, The Flash). Han and Stanton also serve as executive producers of the show alongside Karen Rosenfelt, Paul Lee, Nne Ebong, and Hope Hartman. On June 8, ahead of the show’s release, Amazon renewed The Summer I Turned Pretty for a second season.

The official synopsis for The Summer I Turned Pretty reads,

“The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship. It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer.”
