Here’s everything you need to know about The Summer I Turned Pretty.

It’s your classic coming of age love triangle: on an annual trip to a family friend’s lakehouse, Belly finds herself caught up in a love triangle with Jeremiah and Conrad, two brothers she’d always thought of as friends.

Is The Summer I Turned Pretty based on a book?

Yes, it is. The Summer I Turned Pretty is based on a book by Jennie Han, who has been closely involved with this adaptation.

You might be familiar with another adaptation of a book by Han – To All The Boys I Loved Before, a Netflix film starring Lana Condor and Noah Centineo.

Lola Tung plays Belly, which is short for Isabella. The Summer I Turned Pretty is her first screen acting role.

Christopher Briney plays Conrad, the boy Belly was always in love with. Briney has previously starred in Dali Land.

Rachel Blanchard plays Susannah, Conrad’s mother. Blanchard has previously starred in You, Me, and Her, and starred in the TV adaptation of Clueless when Alicia Silverstone didn’t want to reprise her role as Cher.

Jackie Chung plays Laural, Belly’s mother. Chung previously starred in Coming Home Again.

Who writes and directs The Summer I Turned Pretty?
