The Summer I Turned Pretty, adapted from Jenny Han's bestselling YA trilogy, has built an enormous following since its Amazon Prime debut. The beach house romance spanning multiple summers — centered on a love triangle that deepens and complicates over three seasons — has resonated powerfully with American audiences. Here is your complete guide to watching it all.
What Is The Summer I Turned Pretty About?
The series follows Belly Conklin (Lola Tung), who has spent every summer at Cousins Beach alongside her family and the Fisher family — including brothers Conrad and Jeremiah. As Belly grows up, the childhood rituals become complicated by romantic feelings, family illness, and the reality that summer friendships don't always survive the rest of the year.
From Season 2 onward, the show reveals unexpected emotional range — dealing with grief, loss, and the question of who you become after the people who shaped you are gone. Better than its premise suggests.

Season Guide — What to Expect
