Belly finds out what comes after falling in love in this follow-up to The Summer I Turned Pretty from the New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (soon to be a major motion picture!), Jenny Han.
Can summer be truly summer without Cousins Beach?
It used to be that Belly counted the days until summer, until she was back at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. But not this year. Not after Susannah got sick again and Conrad stopped caring. Everything that was right and good has fallen apart, leaving Belly wishing summer would never come.
But when Jeremiah calls saying Conrad has disappeared, Belly knows what she must do to make things right again. And it can only happen back at the beach house, the three of them together, the way things used to be. If this summer really and truly is the last summer, it should end the way it started—at Cousins Beach.

Young adult romantic fiction often hinges on the delicate, heartfelt navigation of first loves and growing up, a genre landscape shaped significantly by popular coming-of-age novels like The Summer I Turned Pretty. Author Jenny Han gained widespread recognition through her contemporary young adult and children's fiction, crafting emotionally resonant stories that explore adolescence, family dynamics, and romance. Her popular books have been translated into more than thirty languages and successfully adapted into major film and streaming series worldwide.
Born in Richmond, Virginia, Han earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later completed a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing at The New School in New York. Before becoming a full-time author, she worked as a children's librarian, an experience that reinforced her commitment to writing stories for young readers. She made her publishing debut in 2006 and went on to author middle-grade novels such as Shug and Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream, as well as co-authoring the Burn for Burn trilogy with Siobhan Vivian. Han expanded her creative career into screenwriting, executive producing, and showrunning as her books transitioned to the screen. She served as executive producer for the Netflix film adaptation of To All the Boys I've Loved Before in 2018—starring Lana Condor and Noah Centineo—and its film sequels, created the spin-off series XO, Kitty, and stepped into the role of creator and co-showrunner for Prime Video's adaptation of The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Han's narrative approach centers on emotional intelligence, warmth, and the vivid interior lives of young people navigating life-changing transitions. Her stories frequently revolve around themes of sisterhood, summer romance, grief, identity, and the bittersweet nature of growing up. Her influence on contemporary young adult romance led Publishers Weekly to describe the publishing industry's wave of sweet, emotionally intelligent rom-coms as the 'Han Effect.' By treating adolescent feelings with dignity and authenticity, her prose creates a lasting impact on readers across generations.
