The Summer I Turned Pretty

Belly Conklin spends every summer at a beach house in Cousins with her mother, her brother, and the two sons of family friends, Conrad and Jeremiah. Throughout the years, the boys have viewed her mostly as a younger sister figure. During one pivotal summer when she turns sixteen, dynamics shift as both brothers begin to notice her differently, leading to complex romantic feelings and unexpected challenges.
