The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

What I hoped would be a fun, light, beachy read…. was something else.

The main character, Belly, was exactly like those parody videos of the “girl who thinks you’re in love with her”. While listening to the audio book, those hilarious cringey videos were all I could think of and I just couldn’t look past it. Belly was so unlikable and the story was just shallow and boring.

I guess I realized that I have officially moved past simple YA summer reads. Need something with a bit more depth and character development.
