    What is The Summer I Turned Pretty series and how to read it in order

    The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy starts with a novel of the same name. The first book was released in 2009. The second and third books were released in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

    Here’s The Summer I Turned Pretty series in order, and a summary of the plot, with just a few minor spoilers.

    The Summer I Turned Pretty

    The story centers on Isabel “Belly” Conklin and her family, her mother, Laurel, and her older brother Steven.

    Every year, they go to her mother’s best friend Susanna’s home in Cousins Beach to spend the summer with Susannah and her two sons, Conrad and Jeremiah.

    At the beginning of the book, Belly, Conrad, and Steven are teenagers. As they become adults, they start exploring love and other life issues.

    Belly has always had a crush on Conrad. With Jeremiah, they were only friends. The summer they return to the beach house, Belly has become a beautiful 16-year-old woman catching both brothers’ attention.

    The story progresses into a dramatic love triangle and a whirlwind romance between Belly and a nice guy named Cam.

    However, that’s not the only drama coming for them, as it’s evident that Susannah is terribly sick.

    It’s Not Summer Without You

    The trilogy’s second book picks up a year after the first one. It’s summer again, but this one is different. The family won’t go to Cousin Beach because of the year’s terrible events.

    Her relationship with Conrad had ended dramatically, and they didn’t see each other again until Susannah’s funeral.

    For Belly, the death of Susannah has her taking care of her distraught mother.

    One day Conrad goes missing, and Jeremiah calls Belly to help him search for his brother. The three reunite in the Cousins Beach house, full of memories and nostalgia.

    Belly and Conrad come to terms with the end of their relationship, and she starts to build a romantic bond with Jeremiah.

    We’ll Always Have Summer

    The trilogy’s last book, We’ll Always Have Summer, finds Belly as a freshman in college. Two years after It’s Not Summer Without You. The last few years had been a rollercoaster of emotions for her and the Fisher brothers.

    She’s only been in love twice in her life, with Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. But this summer, she has to make the final decision.

    While attending the same college, Belly and Jeremiah have been inseparable. However, it’s not the kind of love story Belly thought it would be.

    When Belly finds out Jeremiah has cheated on her, she wants to end the relationship. In a desperate attempt to amend his mistake, he proposes. Belly hesitantly says yes, although it devolves into many fights with her mother, who thinks she is too young to get married.

    Conrad, on the other hand, regrets letting Belly go. He puts Belly in a difficult position when he tells her he loves her.

    By the end of the story, she has made up her mind about the Fisher brothers. It’s not until the book’s epilogue that readers discover with whom she ends up.
