Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan VivianBurn for Burn
co-written by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian

Big girls don’t cry . . . they get even.

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is the kind of place where nobody locks their doors at night, where parents can sleep easy, knowing their daughters are tucked away safe and sound in their beds.

But bad things can happen, even to good girls . . . and sometimes, the only way to make things right is to do something wrong.

LILLIA used to trust boys, but not anymore. Not after what happened this summer. And she’ll be damned if she lets the same thing happen to her little sister.

KAT is through with being called a freak. She’s over the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes made at her expense. It all goes back to one person--her ex-best friend--and Kat’s ready to make her pay.

Six years ago, MARY left Jar Island because of a boy. But she’s not the same girl anymore. Now that she’s back, he’s gonna be in trouble... cause she’s coming after him.

Three very different girls who want the same thing. Sweet, sweet revenge. And they won’t stop until they’ve each had a taste.

The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny HanThe Summer I Turned Pretty
The first book in the New York Times Bestselling series... 

Belly measures her life in summers.  Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.  Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad.  They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer--they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between.  But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

"Romantic and heartbreakingly real"
-- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This book has what every girl wants in a summer."
-- Sarah Dessen

"If I could live inside this amazing book, I would."

It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny HanIt's Not Summer Without You
Book two in the Summer series...

Last year, all of Belly’s dreams came true and the thought of missing a summer in Cousins Beach was inconceivable. But like the rise and fall of the ocean tide, things can change--  just like that. Suddenly the time she's always looked forward to most is something she dreads. And when Jeremiah calls to say Conrad has disappeared, Belly must decide how she will spend this summer: chasing after the boy she loves, or finally letting him go.   

"Han artfully weaves together Belly's and Jeremiah's back stories, recent and long past, to create a solid fabric of relationship and longing."
-- Kirkus Reviews

We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny HanWe'll Always Have Summer
Two brothers. One true love.
Summers will never be the same.

Belly has only ever been in love with two boys, both with the last name Fisher. And after being with Jeremiah for the last two years, she's almost positive he is her soulmate.

Almost.

Conrad has not gotten over the mistake he made when he let Belly go. But when Belly and Jeremiah decide to make things forever, Conrad realizes that it's now or never--tell Belly he loves her, or lose her for good.  Unlike his brother, Jeremiah has always known that Belly is the girl for him. Belly will have to confront her feelings for Jeremiah and Conrad and face a truth she has possibly always known: she will have to break one of their hearts.

"Han's impressive ear for and pitch-perfect reproduction of the interactions between not-quite-adult older teens make this an appealing conclusion to this trilogy romance"
-- Kirkus Reviews
