If you’re having a hard time coping with the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty, you’re not alone. The season three finale just aired today, Sept. 17, via Amazon Prime Video, putting an end to Belly’s complicated love triangle with the Fisher brothers.

If you didn’t know, the third season is based on The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy by Jenny Han, specifically the third book, We’ll Always Have Summer. If you haven’t read through the first book, along with the two others in the trilogy, you’re truly only getting half the story. If you’d like to relive the drama, you’ll want to pick up the novel that started it all, and it’s sequels, currently available on Amazon.

The book trilogy has an overall 4.2 stars — and for good reason. Join the fanbase and snag your own copy, which is available in paperback, hardcover, Kindle-edition and spiral-bound. If you want the entire series for your bookshelf, you can also get a boxed collection of the trilogy right now for just $21.03. Consider it your summer beach read or commute book (but definitely not a coffee table book). The TV series may not have covered everything that the book details, which is why snagging a copy will be important to know absolutely every thought Belly has over the love triangle between her, Conrad and Jeremiah.

“The Summer I Turned Pretty” is the first of three books written by Han — a.k.a. the same author behind the hit series “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” which also received a Netflix movie of the same name. “Pretty” follows the story of Belly, a girl about to turn 16-years-old who “measures her life in summers,” according to the description. It’s at Cousins Beach where her mom, brother and her share a summer beach house with Susannah (her mom’s best friend) and her two boys: Conrad and Jeremiah. It’s this summer in particular that everything changes. As the boys take notice in her, a love triangle begins to form and secrets end up being revealed.
