This week, the ladies are turning the page on Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty (book one) and things get pretty emotional. Amanda didn’t want to read this one… but surprise! She ended up loving the sweet, nostalgic chaos of Cousins Beach. Meanwhile, Dayelle is calling it the Gen Z Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret—a coming-of-age tale packed with sun-soaked angst, first loves, and an unfairly addictive love triangle. They’re breaking down book one vs season one of the Prime Video adaptation. What they loved and maybe didn't love....BUT it all comes down to the ultimate summer showdown: Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? Oh, and did we mention? Pomegranate margaritas will be involved.
