Holly McGhee, and Samantha Cosentino. Thank you to my editor extraordinaire  \nEmily Meehan, who supports me like no other, as well as Courtney Bongiolatti. Luck Ruth Cummins and everyone at S& S. Many thanks to Jenna and Beverly and the Calhoun School for their continuous support of my writing life. Thanks to my writing group the  \nLongstockings, and one Longstocking in particular, who has sat across from me every Monday and cheered  \nme on--Siobhan, I'm looking at you. And thank you to  \nGram, who inspired me to write about the forever kind of friendship, the kind that spans over boyfriends and beaches and children and lifetimes  \nvi  \n[Page Blank]  \nvii  \nI say, \"I can't believe you're really here.\"  \nHe sounds almost shy when he says, \"Me neither.\" And then he hesitates.\"Are you still coming with me?\"  \nI can't believe he even has to ask. I would go anywhere. \"Yes,\" I tell him. It feels like nothing else exists outside of that word, this moment. There's just us. Everything that happened this past summer, and every summer before it, has all led up to this. To now.  \nviii  \n[Page Blank]  \n1  \nchapter one  \nWe'd been driving for about seven thousand years. Or at least that's how it felt. My brother, Steven, drove slower than our Granna. I sat next to him in the passenger seat with my feet up on the dashboard. Meanwhile, my  \nmother was passed out in the backseat. Even when she slept, she looked alert, like at any second she could wake up and direct traffic.  \n\"Go faster,\" I urged Steven, poking him in the shoulder. \"Let's pass that kid on the bike.\"  \nSteven shrugged me off. \"Never touch the driver,\" he said. \"And take your dirty feet off my dashboard.\"  \nI wiggled my toes back and forth. They looked pretty clean to me. \"It's not your dashboard. It's gonna be my car soon, you know.\"  \n\"If you ever get your license,\" he scoffed. \"People like you shouldn't even be allowed to drive.\"  \n2  \n\"Hey, look,\" I said, pointing out the window. \"That guy in a wheelchair just lapped us!\"  \nSteven ignored me, and so I started to fiddle with the radio. One of my favorite things about going to the beach was the radio stations. I was as familiar with them as I was with the ones back home, and listening to Q94 made me just really know inside that I was there, at the beach.  \nI found my favorite station, the one that played everything from pop tooldies to hip-hop. Tom Petty was singing \"Free Fallin' .\" I sang right along with him. \"She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis. Loves horses and her boyfriend too.\"  \nSteven reached over to switch stations, and I slapped his hand away.\"Belly, your voice makes me want to run this car into the ocean.\" He pretended to swerve right.  \nI sang even louder, which woke up my mother, and she started to sing too. We both had terrible voices, and Steven shook his head in his disgusted Steven way. He hated being outnumbered. It was what bothered him most about our parents being divorced, being the lone guy, without our dad to take his side.  \nWe drove through town slowly, and even though I'd just teased Steven about it, I didn't really mind. I loved this drive, this moment. Seeing the town again, Jimmy's Crab Shack, the Putt Putt, all the surf shops. It was like coming home after you'd been gone a long, long time. It held a million promises of summer and of what just might be.  \n3  \nAs we got closer and closer to the house, I could feel that familiar flutter in my chest. We were almost there.  \nI rolled down the window and took it all in. The air tasted just the same, smelled just the same. The wind making my hair feel sticky, the salty sea breeze, all of it felt just right. Like it had been waiting for me to get there.  \nSteven elbowed me. \"Are you thinking about Conrad?\" he asked mockingly.  \nFor once the answer was no. \"No,","cbCaimWnnF1jww6S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimWnnF1jww6S","pdf",604163,150,"English","# Chapter One\n## Arrival at Cousins Beach\n## Conrad and Jeremiah\n## Family dynamics and past vows","[{\"question\":\"Who is the main character in the opening of the story?\",\"answer\":\"The opening focuses on Belly as she travels with her brother and Granna back to Cousins Beach.\"},{\"question\":\"What key emotion does Belly experience as they near the house?\",\"answer\":\"Belly feels a familiar flutter in her chest because they are almost there and the beach house feels like home.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the family bring up Belly’s relationship concerns?\",\"answer\":\"Belly’s mother asks whether she still likes Conrad and suggests there may be something with Jeremiah, which Belly shuts down and asks them never to bring up again.\"}]","The Summer I Turned Pretty | PDF",231]
