It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han

 It’s Not Summer Without You is a young adult novel that follows the story of Belly, a teenage girl navigating the complexities of love and friendship. I picked up this juvenile fictional series after watching a few seasons on Prime Video. Its lighthearted and dramatic at the same time. I felt silly reading this juvenile fiction book but it was an easy read and transported me to being a teenager. I work with k-12th graders so the perspectives these characters have are valuable to me. I also liked that I finally stepped away from non-fiction topics that feel more like I'm conducting research! I have one more book to read in this series before Prime Video releases the last episodes based on book 3! Ha.
