Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty is set to return to Amazon Prime! The first two seasons, which followed the first two books, were released in 2022 and 2023. Jenny Han's stories have adapted well to the screen with her 2014 book To All the Boys I've Loved Before brought to Netflix in 2018 receiving positive reviews! This time however, Jenny has been creatively involved in all stages with Amazon MGM. She has noted a main change for the third novel's screen adaptation, to account for the year delay in production, is the two year time jump, with Bella and Jeremiah's relationship reaching its two-year anniversary!

Let's Never Speak of this Again. Ella and I have been best friends since grade one. We can spend hours talking about everything and nothing. We know each other’s greatest fears, things that irrationally annoy us, and ideal career if money and skill weren’t an issue. If there was only one Hartford Bakery brownie left in the whole world and it was somehow in my possession, Ella is the only person I’d consider sharing it with. Life is pretty good for sixteen-year-old Abby. Okay, her grandma doesn’t remember things anymore, her relationship with her mum is increasingly strained and she accidentally kissed her cousin’s cousin on the weekend, so things aren’t exactly perfect. But everything is manageable with her best friend, Ella, by her side. And with Ella’s brother, Will, interesting and attentive, on the sidelines. When new girl Chloe arrives, Abby is pleased to be the one to show her around, to welcome her to the group. But Abby doesn’t imagine Chloe fitting in so well or quite so quickly. And before long Abby is feeling just a little left out, a little unsure of Ella’s friendship. In a moment of anger and confusion she wishes something bad would happen. When it does -- with tragic consequences -- everything shifts again. And Abby has to face her own feelings and work out what friendship really means.
