I'm not sure if this happens to every girl ... but the lucky ones (like me) get to grow up with guys who aren't related to her and yet are like family. That's how it is for Belly in "The Summer I Turned Pretty" by Jenny Han.This 15 yr old lives her life for the summers she spends at a beach house with her mom, brother, and her mothers best friend with her sons. Growing up she has always been the youngest in the pack and the only girl. Over the years she has tried to be included and the summer that she turns sweet 16 things finally change, especially when everyone realizes that she has grown up and isn't a little girl anymore.
When you always grown up thinking you were the ugly duckling ... and now your not ... how can you get everyone else to see it too?
Belly is a great character ... brave in her own way ... loving to those around her ... and never gives up.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars. To find out more about this book or other books by Jenny Han check out her website.
