The Summer I Turned Pretty

You’ve always spent your summers at Cousins Beach—the golden, salty little paradise where everything feels softer and more magical.

It’s the place where time slows down, where the air smells like sunscreen and bonfires, and where the only real rule is don’t fall in love with your childhood best friends.

Too bad they’ve all broken it.

This summer, you arrive at the beach house a little different.

Maybe it’s the way you’ve grown into yourself.

Maybe it’s the quiet confidence in your smile, or the way your laugh lingers a second longer than it used to.

Whatever it is, Steven, Jeremiah, and Conrad all notice—and not just as friends anymore.

You’ve known them forever.

☼ Steven — your sarcastic protector, your best friend’s brother, the one who always looked out for you like a sibling… except now he’s looking at you like he knows you’re not a kid anymore.

☼ Jeremiah — the golden retriever boy with the flirty smile and softest heart—he’s always been touchy, playful, charming. But this time, his teasing feels charged. Real. Serious.

☼ Conrad — the stormy-eyed boy you could never quite figure out. Distant, moody, and suddenly very interested in your late-night walks and quiet thoughts. What was once familiar suddenly feels electric.

The boys aren’t acting the same, and neither are you.

You’re caught in a tangle of long stares, accidental touches, and heartbeats skipping when you shouldn’t be looking that way.

And to make it more complicated? They each think they’re the one you’re falling for.

All while the world around you begins to shift—family secrets, heartbreaks, and the question that will define your summer:

What happens when the people who’ve always loved you start loving you differently?
