The Summer I Turned Pretty TV Series Review

 Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I am going to tell you Chameleons about a new Amazon Prime show. The Summer I Turned Pretty. It's also based on a book with the same name by Jenny Han. Jenny Han is the same person who wrote To AllThe Boys I Loved Before series. This Show came out on the same day as another Amazon Prime show, The Lake on June 17, 2022. The Lake will be up probably tomorrow. I know that it will be the next blog. In the mean time, here is my TV Series Review of The Summer I Turned Pretty.

On June 17, 2022 Amazon Prime came out with a new show, called The Summer I turned Pretty. The TV show is also based on a book under the same name by Jenny Han. If you Chameleons haven't watched the show or read the book. I would recommend to read the book and then watch the movie. I will explain later. But the movie is about; A love triangle between Belly, and 2 brothers Conrad & Jeremiah. A story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer.

The Cast:

Lola Tung as Belly Conklin

Jackie Chung as Laurel Park

Rachel Blanchard as Susannah Fisher

Christopher Briney as Conrad Fisher

Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah Fisher

Sean Kuffman as Sam Conklin

Rain Spencer as Taylor 

Alfredo Narcsio as Cleveland Castillo

In 2012 I got recommend the book The Summer I Turned Pretty from Megan Parked on YouTube. I got the book, and I liked it. I only read half of the book. I put the book down and forgot about the book. In 2018 I think, I heard this was going to be made into a show, and I got excited. On June 16, 2022 I was on Taylor Swift's Instagram page to see if her new song, Caroline, for the new movie Where The Crawdads Sing. Nothing yet. Then I saw a video on her Instagram that says This Love (Taylor's version). I pressed on it and read that it said that her song is being used in the new show "The Summer I Turned Pretty. coming out June 17, 2022". I realize that was tomorrow, so I decided to read the book in 24 hours. I got to chapter 12 and just watched the show. So on June 22, 2022 that is exactly what I did. I know I read half the book both times, but most of the suff that was in the book was not in the show. Like the flashbacks. And some stuff was just added in. Like the character Cleveland. I don't remembered him mentioned, or that Laurel is a writer, that Susannah was throwing Laurel a party cause of her new book, the debutant, and Taylor helping Belly pack to go for the summer. Yes, I know that I read have only read half of the book, but I felt like everything that I read in the book all happened in the first episode. As in with going to Cousin's beach, going to Susanna's, Conrad's & Jeremiah's house, and seeing Belly's stuff bear Junior Mint, plus with the dad's not being there and Susannah being sick. That is all I am going to be saying about the show.I took the whole heat wave on June 22, 2022 just to watch the whole series. The show was alright. I don't know if it's because I didn't read the whole book or if it's just me, but I did really like the show as I thought I would and I am over that teenager love triangle drama. I decided to watch it till the end for something to do.

I did read that 10 days prior before the release this show got a green light for season 2. Talk about fast and not seeing if people like this show first?? I mean, come on.
