Scroll on for all the details you need about the series… What Is The Plot Of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’?Per the series synopsis, "The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship. It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer." Author Jenny Han worked as a showrunner on the television adaption and assured loyal fans of the book they wouldn't be disappointed.
