If like us, your guilty pleasure revolves around rom-coms—cheesy, classic or contemporary, we're not picky, we'll take them all—then you're in for a treat because your next obsession has been found: The Summer I Turned Pretty.

The series is based on the novel by the same name, by YA romance royalty, Jenny Han, the very author who gifted us the To All The Boys I've Loved Before trilogy.

Like many of our favourite films and shows in the genre, the story hinges on a summer love triangle at the centre of which are three teens—Isabel aka Belly, played by Lola Tung, Conrad, played by Christopher Briney and Jeremiah, played by Gavin Casalegno.

Scroll on for all the details you need about the series…

What Is The Plot Of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’?

Per the series synopsis, "The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship. It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer."

Author Jenny Han worked as a showrunner on the television adaption and assured loyal fans of the book they wouldn't be disappointed.

"For the longtime book fans, I think it will have been worth the wait. For those newly discovering the Summer series, I hope you fall in love with these characters and this place that is so dear to my heart," Han told Deadline last year following the show's announcement.

If you'd love to read the book before watching the series, you can pick up a copy or the whole trilogy, here.

The most important detail you need to know about the show is, of course, where you can tune in. Season one of The Summer I Turned Pretty is available to stream now on Amazon Prime in Australia.

Season two is also on its way, teased to be "coming soon" on the new cover of the second book in the trilogy. Stay tuned for more details when they come through.

If you're anything like us, you'll love a good teen romance TV show - and it's even better when it's set in a gorgeous summery location. As if by magic, Amazon Prime Video answered all of our prayers with The Summer I Turned Pretty, which dropped in the June earlier this year.

The series followed the story of Belly, a teenager who finds herself in a love triangle with two brothers (and her two oldest friends), Conrad and Jeremiah. The TV adaptation is based on the book trilogy by author and series creator Jenny Han (who also wrote the To All The Boysbooks). It's safe to say we're very invested, with fans now calling for a season two.

So exciting!

Who will star in The Summer I Turned Pretty S2?

As Prime Video's behind-the-scenes S2 pic confirms, Lola Tung will be officially returning as Belly, as well as Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno coming back as Conrad and Jeremiah.

There's also Sean Kaufman (Steven), Alfredo Narciso (Cleveland), Minnie Mills (Shayla), Jackie Chung (Laurel), Colin Ferguson (John), and Tom Everett Scott (Adam) - all of whom we'd be hoping to reappear.

With The Summer I Turned Pretty based on Jenny Han's book trilogy, there's sadly one character whose future is uncertain. Susannah, played by Rachel Blanchard, dies between the first and second book. So, if S2 sticks to the progression of the novels, we might not be seeing Rachel back on screen.

What might happen in The Summer I Turned Pretty S2?

As the series follows Han's original three books, it's likely that series two may take some inspiration from her second novel.

Book two takes place after Susannah (Conrad and Jeremiah's mum) has tragically passed away following her battle with cancer. Belly and Conrad's relationship is affected, with Conrad running away to escape. We then follow Belly and Jeremiah on a road trip to track Conrad down, with the pair seeming to grow closer.

Season one did change some elements of Han's original novel, so there might be some S2 changes too!
