The Summer I Turned Pretty
by Jenny Han
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book was filled with plot twists and surprising acts, which makes this book really enjoyable to read. The main character, Isabel Conklin, and her family visit Susannah’s beach house every summer because Belly’s mom and Susannah are best friends. Belly starts off as just a “little sister” out of all the kids ( Steven, Belly’s brother, Jeremiah, and Conrad, which are Susannah’s kids). Belly had a huge blowup over the summer, but still has the same crush, Conrad. However, this year, Conrad was in a worse mood for the whole summer, because he had just broken up with his girlfriend. Throughout the book, we can see Belly falling harder for Conrad. However, towards the end of the book, she finds someone new, Cam, whom she starts dating. But she still has feelings for Conrad, who rejects her when she confronts. By the end of the book, we find out that Susannah's cancer has came back, which leaves a good cliffhanger. This romance book is perfect, and it makes readers seem as if they were Belly, and has a lot of moments we could all relate to.

The Windeby Puzzle
by Lois Lowry

book cover


The Windeby Puzzle by Lois Lowry is a historical fiction. It is easy to read and you can learn more about a skeleton of a young child that was found in the Windeby bog. The author, Lois Lowry wrote the story in two different endings after she noticed that the first story she wrote was inaccurate. The second story is written by another character's point of view and the endings are different. Both the stories show the lives of Iron Age people. I loved how the author made an accurate story using the details that she had and I would recommend the book to people who like historical fiction.

The Summer I Turned Pretty

book cover


This book is perfect for those who want to read about the juicy life of the main character, Isabel, or Belly Conklin. Belly and her family go to their family’s beach house every summer. For the summers before, she was only seen as a little sister. However, this year was different. She has a major glow up, and she still had the same crush, Conrad, whom was her family friend. However, Conrad showed no feelings for Belly, and was feeling more distant this year due to multiple things. Towards the end of the story, Belly dates another guy, Cam, while she still had a crush on Conrad. She eventually confronts to Conrad, which doesn’t end up well. This book makes readers feel as if they are experiencing the plot with Belly, and has a lot of relatable experiences. Overall, this book is really good and interesting, but is a little fast paced, and I had to read it twice to fully understand all of the plot.
