The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han - Restarting November 20th 2016

[Maddie]

Haha that's fine. Are you trying to catch up to Chapter 26?

[rachel, x]

Umm I was going to try and finish it all this evening. Why specifically 26!? :/

[Maddie]

Because Nancy Marie and I have decided to read 5 chapters a day and there was no prologue haha.

[rachel, x]

Oh okay. Nah I am not doing that. I couldn't limit myself like that when it comes to reading!

[Maddie]

Normally that's the only way to make sure I read most of my books if I'm buddy reading more than one at once haha. I'm nearly up to date with this then I'll read 200 pages of Rumble and 100 of The Young Elites and the last 80-90 of Losing Hope. Well I'll try at least to read the Rumble pages haha. I don't wanna get too behind.

[rachel, x]

That's a good idea! I prefer reading one book at a time though.

[Maddie]

Finished my chapters in this book. At least now only 5 chapters a day shouldn't take too long at all.

[Maddie]

I rarely read just one at a time. There was a time when I read 8 book in 8 days. I had a personal goal to read a book a day until New Years, and I did it :D

[rachel, x]

Woah, that's fantastic. Great job! I get too easily distracted so if I read more than one book at a time I forget what is happening.

[Maddie]

Haha I'm a good multitasker :p

[Maddie]

I'm hopping off this thread. Don't wanna spam it. I'm jumping over to the Rumble thread so I can post my thoughts.

(view spoiler)[Susannah was Conrad's mum so no, she didn't die. :) I don't think Jeremiah like Belly either. I think they are just friends. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

ending - (view spoiler)[Umm what the hell is up with that ending? I don't understand what happened. Why did it just stop? Dammit. Now I need the second book immediately and I don't have it! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Good job Rachel :) It's an easy read, right?

[[deleted user]]

(view spoiler)[Chapter 26- I didn't realize that Mr. Fisher was Conrad's dad til now and I also just realize that Jeremiah and Conrad are brothers.
Chapter 27- I always wanted to talk a walk on a beach at night. Belly and Cam was lucky to do that and if that really is his last name, then that is a really odd name: cam Cameron.
Chapter 28- I wonder what happened to Taylor after that summer and if they were still friends.
Chapter 29- I like the nickname Bells better then the nickname Belly and I wonder if Conrad played football and he quit playing.
Chapter 30- I wonder why Susannah called Conrad "Connie". That's a weird nickname for him. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Yeah. Really easy. Thanks. The ending is killer though.

[Maddie]

Oh we're up to Chapter 30. Bummer now I'm behind. Wait this was started on the 3rd. So:
3rd: 1-6
4th: 6-11
5th: 11-16
6th: 16-21
7th: 21-26
8th: 26-31
9th: 31-36
10th: 36-41
11th: 41-46 (the end)

Sorry just needed that schedule haha.

(view spoiler)[Aha! How did you not know they were brothers? :)

I don't remember what his last name is!

I don't think they will be friends!! I wouldn't be.

Me too. I don't understand why she would want to be called Belly! (hide spoiler)]

[Princess]

I'm planning to join this one :)

[Maddie]

Awesome Princess :)

[Princess]

12% (view spoiler)[Am I the only that really hate Belly? She said she doesn't want to be treated special. For me, I think she is treated special because she's the only girl. But, some moments after, she wanted to be liked by the guys?! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Princess wrote: "12% [spoilers removed]"

I didn't like Belly much at all.

[[deleted user]]

(view spoiler)[Chapter 31- Belly sure has an attitude against Cam and everybody. Who cares if he eats the last Fruit Roll Up.
Chapter 32- Wow, Belly was sure acting like a B**** towards Cam with the Skinny Dip.
Chapter 33- Yolie, that's a weird name.
Chapter 34- Even though the boys knows, Susannah should still tell the boys that she is getting a divorce. It would be easier then hiding it.
Chapter 35- I am really not liking Belly now and I"m still wondering what happened to Taylor. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah Belly's so annoying. Ugh. :/

[rachel, x]

Nancy Marie wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I wasn't a fan of Belly either, especially when she treated Cam like that (after the skinny dipping incident was worst).

And I agree that Susannah shouldn't have kept that a secret. It effects all their lives and they deserve to know. (hide spoiler)]

C..."

Well puberty sure hit Belly in a different way, she became a total B****

(view spoiler)[Chapter 36- Why would a mother let her kid run around naked until she was four years old? That's just unnatural.
Chapter 37- I like Susannah. So far, she is the only person that I like out of the whole story.
Chapter 38- Belly don't know how luck is she to get a car for her 16th birthday. I never got a car for my 16th birthday.
Chapter 39- Wow, Belly is treating Cam like a jerk. Of course, she still has feelings for Conrad. I don't think that will ever change. She just needs to tell Cam the truth.
Chapter 40- Wow, Jeremiah is the one that really likes Belly and Belly can't see that. She should like Jeremiah and not Conrad and I agree with Jeremiah, Conrad would just end up hurting her. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

(view spoiler)[ Chapter 41- when she was 12, i didn't like how was she was treating Jeremiah and just should have told him that she loved Conrad.
Chapter 42- I can't believe how Conrad treated Belly after what she told him. He could have at least been a little nicer to her.
Chapter 43- I can't believe Conrad kissed Belly after everything he did to her. He can be a jerk sometimes.
Chapter 44- She shouldn't be treating Cam this way. Just call him.
Chapter 45- I hope this isn't Susannah's last summer.
Chapter 46- Does that mean Conrad and Belly are together now? (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

I really enjoyed that book. Thank for reading it with me.

[Princess]

75% (view spoiler)[ Okay I don't know what chapter is this but is Belly asking for sex and when Cam refused she got mad?!!? (hide spoiler)]

I forgot the chapter, I accidentally delete my copy but that's how I understand it :<

[rachel, x]

I don't remember that at all but that just adds to my dislike of Belly.

[Maddie]

I've given up on my schedules for these books. I'm just gonna read one at a time, seeing as I'm behind enough as it is. Haven't read for 2-3 days.

[rachel, x]

Sounds good. That's what I tend to do. :)

[Maddie]

Okay :)

[Maddie]

Gonna try finish this today as well.

[Maddie]

Finished. Gonna stop monitoring this thread now. Got others to monitor.

[Christina]

[Christina]

[Abi]

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

[✨Skye✨]

Mind if I join for this one?:)

[Kina]

Starting this today!

[Kina]

21% done. I love the friendship between the moms, Laura and Susannah. (view spoiler)[ I know Belly likes Conrad, but I'm hoping she ends up with Jeremiah. She is so focused on Conrad, but sometimes your soulmate is the one you least expect it to be. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 13- (view spoiler)[i love how they hang out every summer. It's funny how the main characters nickname is Belly. I can't wait for the summer to unfold! (hide spoiler)]

[Kina]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 13- [spoilers removed]"

Yes I agree. Did they ever say what her real name is? I don't remember reading that. I'm guessing Annabelle. I use to nanny for a girl named Annabelle and we called her Belly.

[Christina]

Yea I don't even know her name yet. They never mentioned it hahaha
