The Summer I Turned Pretty

            A trilogy that I own that I have really enjoyed is called the Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. This consists of three books where the first is called the Summer I Turned Pretty, the second is It’s Not Summer Without You, and the last book is called We’ll Always Have Summer. I actually read the first book in 8th grade and thought it was super cute and adorable; all the books are romantic books.
            The main characters in the story are Belly (the chick) and the two guys Jeremiah Fisher and Conrad Fisher are brothers and they both have a thing for Belly when she comes down to the summerhouse, they instantly start to like her. I think it’s adorable the whole three books because Belly has always liked Conrad since she was really little and he starts to like her back, which is totally fiction because that rarely happens, but it’s an adorable story.
            I also like this series a lot because the books focus on Susannah who gets diagnosed with cancer and how when someone gets diagnosed with cancer how it changes everyone’s lives completely. Thought this trilogy is considered a romantic trilogy, I think it’s more than that. The trilogy shows the path people have to face when someone is diagnosed with cancer or a loved one ends up dying from cancer. The whole trilogy it focuses upon how Susannah changed everyone’s lives and how they will always remember her.
            I recommend this trilogy to people who have had someone they love be diagnosed with cancer or even had someone they love pass away. The trilogy tells about the life people have to face when they find out news like that and how they have to face it. I definitely think a lot of people can relate to this book because each year a million of people are diagnosed with cancer, so it’s more than likely that throughout the human life we’ll personally know at least one person who gets diagnosed with cancer. Reading this trilogy helps let you know that you’re not the only one that goes through the death of a close one, but others go through it as well.


            I think that this trilogy really helps if you know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer and has had to go through the hardship of chemo or had surgeries to get rid of the cancer. Though this is a romantic trilogy as its main focus, it really ends up all coming back to Susannah.
