The Summer I Turned Pretty is pretty damn delightful (The A.V. Club)

Lola Tung charms in the latest Jenny Han novel to hit the small screen.

The music, on the other hand, is consistently ace, perfectly calibrated for a summer-ready teen or anyone itching for a warm-weather drive. The show is tasked with addressing class and race in ways that feel natural to its characters’ experiences, and it mostly succeeds, particularly in the case of Belly’s brother Steven, who’s working at a country club to save money for college and has to decide if he should to swallow some serious microaggressions for better tips. The Summer I Turned Pretty reinforces over and over that Belly has been in love with the elder brother, Conrad, since she was young, but he has suddenly adopted a moody, misunderstood attitude that serves as a bit of a mystery in the season’s first half. And that’s where the real strength of The Summer I Turned Pretty lies: The six core characters (two middle-aged best friends and their four children) come off like people who have spent the last 15 summers together. The show never quite makes it a fair fight between the brothers, yet it still manages to make you feel very attached to both of them. Isabel Conklin (Lola Tung), affectionately and perhaps inconceivably referred to as “Belly” by everyone in her life, has spent every summer on Cousins Beach with her mother Laurel (Jackie Chung), brother Steven (Sean Kaufman), mom’s best friend Susannah (Rachel Blanchard), and her two boys, Conrad and Jeremiah (Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno). On the cusp of 16, Belly returns to Susannah’s gorgeous beach house with her family, hoping that this summer, the boys will finally stop seeing her as that little kid they grew up with.

Story recap – what happened in The Summer I Turned Pretty season ... (Ready Steady Cut)

Belly, her mother Laurel and brother Steven drive to Susannah's beach house for the summer. Belly's one wish this summer is to kiss her first crush, Conrad. She ...

She wants Belly to choose Jeremiah over Conrad. At the tournament, Taylor fakes an injury and partners Jeremiah and Belly. They start to lose and Belly substitutes Jeremiah for Conrad.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Is Wistful Fantasy for the Whole Family (Vanity Fair)

While the adaptation of Jenny Han's 2009 best seller sure makes beachy teen love triangles look fun, the real main-character energy belongs to Belly's mom, ...

If heartache, both of the teenage and the existential variety, is a fact of life, doesn’t that make some good, frothy fantasy all the more essential? Forget sophomoric text exchanges and just give me the scene in episode 2 where Laurel and Susannah are scoping out the local bookstore (because of course, Susannah is insisting on throwing her a book party—with catering!), and they run into a cute, Franzenesque author in horn-rimmed glasses. While it’s one thing to project your inner teen’s yearnings onto a flailing high schooler mired with indecision over who’s the floppiest-haired of all (both Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno make it a believably tough competition), there’s a slightly more grown-up but nonetheless delightful escapism in Laurel’s setup as a single mom who, apparently, gets to spend the whole summer smoking weed and lightly co-parenting with her rich best friend. If you loved The Last Song, Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, or have the vaguest notion of what “coastal grandmother aesthetic” means, you’ll eat it all up with a spoon. The series, based on the first book in Jenny Han’s best-selling Y.A. trilogy, follows 15-year-old Isabel “Belly” Conklin over her first post-pubescent summer at Cousins Beach, a fictional place that’s essentially the platonic ideal of a New England shore town. Prime Video’s new series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, meets this seasonal all-ages tilt toward romanticism with all the satisfying ease of a shimmering open pool.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' cast formed bond, star says (ABC News)

Nineteen-year-old newcomer Lola Tung stars in the Amazon series “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” based on the book of the same name by bestselling author Jenny ...

“She always knew how I was feeling and how to comfort me and be there for me.” It used to be as a novelist of just solving my own problems and my character’s problems, but on a show, you have a lot of other people’s problems to figure out.” This summer, however, she's more mature and arrives at the beach as a pretty teenager, turning heads wherever she goes. (She shares a co-showrunner title with co-creator, Gabrielle Stanton.). Han wrote the book the series is based on and also is the author of the “To All the Boys" trilogy, which was adapted into films for Netflix. For its star, 19-year-old newcomer Lola Tung, along with creator and co-showrunner Jenny Han, filming during the summer of 2021 was an equally memorable time filled with new experiences and life lessons. It was Tung's first acting job and Han's first time as a showrunner.

Amazon's 'The Summer I Turned Pretty': TV Review (Hollywood Reporter)

Jenny Han ('To All the Boys I've Loved Before') adapts her own novel about Belly (Lola Tung), who navigates romance and other life-changing events over the ...

If part of growing up for Belly is getting to feel like the main character in her own story for the first time, a late-season revelation serves as a heartbreaking reminder that so, too, is learning that everyone else is the main character in their own. The Summer I Turned Pretty hinges on basically every boy falling in love with Belly, which admittedly makes for a delicious bit of wish fulfillment. As a coming-of-age story, Amazon’s The Summer I Turned Pretty is a cut above. While not clumsy enough to sink The Summer I Turned Pretty entirely, they do keep the series from soaring as high as it otherwise might. Alas, not even the best of Taylor Swift’s songbook can make up for what the show’s romances lack in chemistry. “This isn’t you,” she keeps hearing from the people who’ve cared about her all her life, from her mom to Conrad to her best friend Taylor (Rain Spencer). What none of them are willing to understand is that trying out things that didn’t used to be her, from deb balls to illicit beach parties, is her way of finding out what actually is her now.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 1 review – morally problematic ... (Ready Steady Cut)

This review of the Amazon original series The Summer I Turned Pretty season 1 does not contain any major spoilers. The series will be released on June.

Fans of the novel will be well aware of this emotive twist and pleased to hear that the show-runners handle this segment respectfully. Thousands of impressionable individuals will watch this show and I feel streaming giants like Amazon should do more to battle this social media-influenced obsession over image and status. Our protagonist, Belly, finds herself caught in a precarious love triangle, with both brothers (Conrad and Jeremiah) competing for her attention and that all-important invitation to the debutante ball. Susannah suggests she signs up for the debutante ball and the teen accepts, journeying into another world obsessed with image and status. Thankfully as the series progresses this obsession over appearance takes a slight backseat and the drama is allowed to unfold more freely. This new look brings about new confidence and she hopes to catch the eye of her first crush, Conrad, this summer.

The TV adaptation of Jenny Han's YA novel is getting another season on Amazon Prime Video.

A week before the series debuted, Deadline announced that Amazon renewed The Summer I Turned Pretty for Season 2. If Amazon’s show is as successful as the hit Netflix rom-com, The Summer I Turned Pretty is likely to see a third installment to round out its adaptation. The TV series is based on The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. The author’s name probably sounds familiar because Han is the mind behind the To All The Boys I Loved Before series that evolved from best-selling books to a Netflix movie trilogy. Since Belly remains the main character in the book trilogy, the TV show will likely keep its lead, Lola Tung, at the forefront in its sophomore season. Summer is right around the corner, and thankfully, Prime Video has just the right show to welcome the sunny new season. Motherhood and female friendship take centerstage atop the backdrop of first loves and first heartbreaks, all existing throughout one perfect summer.
