We'll Always Have Summer

The final, breathtaking instalment in the bestselling The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy, with an original series coming soon on Prime Video! 
 
If only summer could last forever . . . 
 
Belly has only ever loved two boys: Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. One broke her heart, the other made her happier than she thought she could ever be. 
 
And after being with Jeremiah for the last two years, she’s almost positive he is her soul mate. Almost. 
 
But each brother is keeping a secret, and this summer Belly must choose between the Fisher boys, once and for all. 
 
Who will she choose? And who’s heart will she break?
