I waited for him to call me a baby for calling my mommy the second things got scary. He didn’t. Instead he said, ‘Thanks.’ I stared at him. ‘Sometimes you surprise me,’ I said. He didn’t look at me when he said, ‘And you hardly ever surprise me. You’re still the same.’” I looked over at Conrad, and he said in a low voice, to no one in particular, ‘Laurel is amazing.’ I’d never heard anyone describe my mom that way, especially not Conrad. I’d never thought of her as ‘amazing.’ But in that moment, she was. She truly was.” As far as story - it differs significantly from the first two seasons of the show, in a good way. It’s easy to separate the show from the books so you aren’t comparing or feeling like the show messes up the integrity of the books. I appreciate that. The show can be it’s own entity.

Han's writing career took off with her debut novel, Shug, published in 2006. However, she gained widespread recognition and a devoted following with her immensely popular Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy, consisting of The Summer I Turned Pretty (2009), It's Not Summer Without You (2010), and We'll Always Have Summer (2011). This series catapulted Han into the spotlight and solidified her as a prominent figure in the young adult literature genre. Unavailable, aloof Conrad - who she's been in love with forever - and friendly, relaxed Jeremiah, the only one who's ever really paid her any attention. How has Belly’s relationship with her mother changed or remained the same in It’s Not Summer Without You? What are your thoughts and feelings about Laurel, as Belly’s mother, but also as a character in her own right? Belly’s always had a crush on Susannah’s son, Conrad (the “bad boy”), and a friendship with her other son, Jeremiah (the “nice guy”). But this year, Belly and her brother, Steven, return to the beach home in her sweet sixteenth year of life, and Belly has bloomed into a butterfly in the eyes of both Conrad and Jeremiah. I thought the 2nd book was a little boring, but was able to get Jere's perspective. Book 3 gave Conrad's perspective and focused a lot on him and his wanting of Belly. However, I can't wait to see how the story actually ends in the TV series.
