The Summer I Turned Pretty

First Comes Love

Belly Conklin has spent her entire life as a scrawny, overlooked girl, but the summer she turns sixteen, everything changes. Arriving at her family's beach house in Cousins, she discovers that she's finally become pretty—and suddenly, she's the center of attention. Two brothers who've always treated her like a kid sister, Jeremiah and Conrad Fisher, now see her in a completely different light, and both want her affection. As Belly navigates her newfound confidence and the intoxicating experience of being desired, she must confront deeper questions about identity, belonging, and what it truly means to grow up. Set against the backdrop of sun-soaked summers, beach parties, and the bittersweet knowledge that nothing lasts forever, the story explores first love, family secrets, and the transformative power of a single season. Belly's journey becomes one of self-discovery as she learns that being pretty is just the beginning—who she becomes matters far more than how she looks.
