Book Review: We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han

Title:  We'll Always Have Summer Author:  Jenny Han Series:  Summer, #3 Pages:   304 Publisher:  Puffin Date of Publication:  3rd May 2012 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: One girl. Two brothers. The biggest decision of her life . . . Just when she thought she had all the answers . . . Isabel has only ever loved two boys, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. One broke her heart; the other made her happier than she ever thought she'd be. But each brother is keeping a secret, and this summer Isabel must choose between the Fisher boys, once and for all. Which brother will it be? My Thoughts: This series really surprised me - I never expected to like it quite as much as did. It was one of my first YA contemporary reads and I wasn't really all that sure as to what I should expect, and to be honest, from the covers, it wasn't promising me too much. And then I loved it, and you can guess how I excited I was when this book, ...

Book Review: The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Title: The Summer I Turned Pretty Author: Jenny Han Series: Summer #1 Pages: 276 Date of UK Publications: June 3rd 2010 Source: Borrowed from school friend. Synopsis from Goodreads: Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer -- they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along. My Thoughts: I never ever read books like these. 'Girl books' my brother calls them. Proper girly books, beach reads, summer romances. They'd never really appealed to me, but then I came across all th...
