The Summer I Turned Pretty is author Jenny Han’s second streaming adaptation of her books and first TV series. Like To All The Boys, Han’s first adaptation, the plot revolves around a quiet girl who is just discovering that boys find her attractive and unsure about how to proceed. Both adaptations are also accompanied by truly iconic songs. Look no further than The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Season 1 soundtrack for proof.

Warning: Mild spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty follow. It’s a nearly universal experience that there’s a summer in which everything seems to change. It can be anything from stepping up from middle to high school, high school to college, falling in love, or losing a loved one. This formative time imprints in multiple ways, but nothing quite captures those coming-of-age feelings like the music of the time. Who hasn’t heard a song on the radio (or, more likely, Spotify) from their teen years and suddenly found themselves transported back to those exact experiences and feelings?

The Summer I Turned Pretty captures that with its soundtrack, especially when the music follows Belly’s story. While some of the show features the pop hits of the now, with the likes of Doja Cat and Carly Rae Jepsen, there are also lots of deep cuts, like Mini Mansion and JVKE. It’s the perfect playlist to have your summer of discovery, whatever that may be.
