“Best friends are important. They’re the closest thing to a sister you’ll ever have”. 

This series is magic!! Jenny Han has an authentic voice that captivates readers. She’s a truly gifted writer! I cannot fathom how she can tell a story that evokes so much emotion. Major nostalgic summer vibes! Belly (Bells) measures her life in summers with the boys (brothers) she has known since the first beach house vacation… Jeremiah and Conrad. Connie *sighs dreamily* I love his brooding James Dean routine… wink. But the sharing a soda complete with twizzler straws circa 1950s Coke commercial and all Jeremiah’s cuteness. Swoon. Love triangle? Or square? Get outta here Cam Cameron.

TSITP is being turned into a television series for Amazon!! SCREAMING!! Here’s what I sleuthed like a stage 5 clinger: 8 episodes, no official date/possibly summer 2021, casting details yet to be revealed, Han wrote the pilot episode and will serve as executive producer. Plenty of time to binge this series before the show!
