I love that Lola is the narrator!! Brings the book to life!! Still got emotional, love it!

I love this it’s so amazing and calming I love the voice

So good! Highly recommend!

this book literally has a chokehold on me

so aesthetic

Amazing! Loved listening to Lola! Great book.

It was alright. I realize would be better for a younger person. If I was in 8th grade I would be swooning.

Lola has such a soothing voice

Good book

Such a good series, and I love this version where Lola is the narrator

I’m probably not the targeted public for this book. I’m almost 40. But it was in the free pick so I decided to try it. I must say I’m having a good time! The narration is soft and smiley and the story feels like a great place to be in.

So so so so good....the narrator was amazing and made the book. I absolutely loved this and was sad when I finished it!

enjoyed book

Great listen. Based on younger characters than I would have liked though. Was interesting to listen to it before watching the series

It was an ok book, but I don’t see what all the fuss is about. It was pretty slow and most of the book I spent waiting for something to happen

I’m loving this book and I can’t wait for the show on Amazon prime

this is my favorite series

"The Summer I Turned Pretty" is more than just a coming-of-age story—it's an emotional journey about growth, love, and self-discovery. Jenny Han beautifully captures the feeling of a summer that changes everything, where every moment feels intense, real, and unforgettable. What makes this book stand out is its simplicity and honesty. The story doesn't rely on complex plots, but instead focuses on relationships, emotions, and the subtle changes that shape who we become. Belly, the main character, feels real and relatable, especially in the way she navigates love and identity. The writing is smooth and easy to follow, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced readers. However, some readers might find the pacing a bit slow at times. Still, the emotional depth and nostalgic atmosphere make it completely worth it. Overall, it's a heartfelt and beautifully written story that stays with you long after it ends.

Lola’s voice is amazing !

A great autio book

A very hooking book, and fine narrator and reader, however the storyline is rather inappropriate.

Interesting story, great coming of age tale. The ending was too abrupt. I wonder if the author was setting us up for a sequel.

good

Loved!! Tried to watch Netflix show after and wasn’t as good

Love this book and Lola reads it with so much emotion.

An instant classic.

Easy listen, but awfully predictable.

Not a fan. Tried to understand all the hype around the TV show, but I could not stand Belly and when I don't like the main character then I won't enjoy the books.

Story was good until the end. Went into excruciating details throughout the book then ended with no ending or details! Was worth it until the last chapter. It just ended???? Very dissatisfying.

enjoyed the story!

Love love love!

Great story. It’s probably geared more for the younger generation but I thoroughly enjoyed and I’m in my 50’s!

Great book

Enjoyed the coming of age story

Having Lola narrate brings the book and show together nicely while still being different in their own ways.

Love

It’s a good read

Romantic summer lives. It's about love and finding love and keeping love

series is better

I immediately got addicted to this book.

I loved this cozy, realistic, beach listen.

Wellwritten and well read book

Cute book, definitely liked the narration. Would recommend

really easy listen

This was a soothing audiobook

I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. The characters were well written, the story was short (in a good way), and I felt something with the twist at the end. Really, a lot better than I thought it would be

Not much action, overall a chill read. Belly's POV rang true to what I remember about being a girl her age. The narrator has a nice voice but sometimes sounded like she was smiling or giggly when it was inappropriate for the scene.

It felt like listening to a teenager talk about her summer for hours and hours with no higher meaning or revelations. It needed something special at the end. I’m 41 and I don’t really care about a teenagers summer. It needed more.

I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it. During my read I was able to pick up the stream on the TV series. The combined reading and viewing made the experience quite special. The blend was quite effective. I am an elderly person but enjoyed experiencing the youth of the primary players along with the adults who love them. I felt like they were my own family as i read and viewed the story. It certainly has hooked me. And I learned lots about the younger generation.

I wasn't expecting too much, and I realized this was a book that would have been better suited for a young adult, rather than a grown woman, like me, but it was a sweet little story. The narrator was excellent. You can literally hear her smiling as she reads certain parts of it, and you could just tell she really felt the emotions. She was excellent. I would love to listen to more of her narrations. I believe this was a VIP pick and I was happy to have a decent one, because lately my VIP picks have been a bummer. This one was great!

Nice story I think but didn’t finish. In my 40s, it was just a little young for me.

Enjoyed the narration! For the most part I enjoyed the story…just not the end…

I enjoyed this listen from beginning to end. Narrator was exceptional.

Pretty good listen

I stumbled across this book and through the title was something i could relate to, it took me right back to my childhood and summer holidays! Fabulous book iv listen to it twice! The memories and feelings come flooded back, first loves and first kisses. I have to say the narrator voice is a perfect fit and i cant wait to listen to more, i was frilled to see there is 3 books!

it is amazing

Better than expected. I need 10 characters.Refrigerator hummingbird pumpernickel.

Great book & Narrator

Sweet story. Very easy to listen too.

Terrible ending.

After watching the movie, I decided to read the book and it still has the same thrills as it had I. the movie. The author is completely on a different level entirely. It's a good boomkz

Ate up

The narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life. The book was well written with characters that were human and relatable.

Recommended for romance readers

I fell in love with the narrator! She was so easy to listen to and made the book come to life. The story is simple and easy to follow. Very warm and heart felt.

Sweet coming of age story

A cute and easy read. At times a little too young for me, but it picked up and I liked the ending. Planning to keep reading the series.

Really this is get Lola has made the voice amazing especially coming from the actor ❤️ I’ve seen the movie and it’s very similar

So good! Easy to get sucked into the storyline

best book and movie ever

Such an easy read for early readers

The writing seems off and the characters aren't likable. I wish that I enjoyed the book because the show is entertaining.

Something told me to read this book. I didn't know why, but little did I know that my granddaughter who is now in high school is reading the same book series, and she loves it. I love it and we were able to bond through this series that Jenny Han wrote. I love being able to talk to her about the books and now we become book buddies thanks to Jenny and her books and her series really great book teens love it I loved it it's a good book

Great book and SO easy to listen to Lola’s voice! I watched the series first before reading the books so hearing her read it gives the book so much life! Loved it!

Absolutely love this!

Absolutely amazing

I loved it so much

omg I adore it ❤️

Very sweet! Definitely aimed at the tween market but I really enjoyed catching up on it before season 2 drops.

This book was so nice and sweet, and no spoiler but who she ends up with rocks my world.

Heartwarming.

I absolutely love Lola’s voice

Best book I’ve read
