The Summer I Turned Pretty
Summary:
Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer--they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.
Review:
The Summer I turned Pretty is great story. I find myself reading this book again and again. Jenny Han has written a story that truly hits the hearts of any female who has ever had that summer crush they just couldn’t stop thinking about.
Belly is funny and loveable. As the reader you will find yourself laughing and possibly shedding a few tears while you read what happens to this loveable character. I truly cannot wait to read the sequel this summer.
Jenny Han is a fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

Product Description:
All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....
Review:
Going Too Far is a must read. This story is truly unforgettable.
Meg goes too far one night and as punishment is assigned to follow John on night shifts for one week during spring vacation.
Both Meg and John have been effected by tragic events in their past. Each go to very extensive lengths to leave their lives in accordance to how their past has influenced them.
Meg has decided to live her life to the fullest and escape this small town she has lived in her entire life.
John intends to live his life by the law.
Both push the other to see the world from their eyes and by doing so push one another too far. The question is, will their love for one another with stand tests, or will they push each other too far.
This is one love story you won’t want to miss. I find myself reading this book again and again.
Jennifer Echols has written two characters that are full of strength and bravery. You will laugh, cry and find yourself routing for each character as they face each obstacle that they come up against.
