This The Summer I Turned Pretty trivia quiz covers Jenny Han's story in both its forms: the 2009–2011 novel trilogy about Belly Conklin's summers at Cousins Beach, and the Prime Video series that ran for three seasons from 2022 to 2025 and is continuing as a film. Expect questions on the cast, from Lola Tung to Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno, the Fisher and Conklin families, the Wilmington shoot, the Taylor Swift needle drops Han secured with a handwritten note, the ratings records the final season set, and the book plot that the show was built from. The early questions are easy for anyone who binged a season; the later ones reward readers who know how the trilogy actually ends. Every answer was checked against encyclopaedia entries before publishing.
