Opting a novel for a TV series rather than a film allows the story written on it to come out with greater details. As two make a film of 2-3 hours you have to cut many chunks of the story. Contrary to this, a series keeps the story to further go on and makes it more interesting and understandable for the viewers.
Many novels in the past have been opted for a web adaptation like You by Carloline Kepnes, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket and The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian.
Now Amazon Prime Video has also announced its new young adult romantic series titled The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is based on American author Jenny Han’s best selling romantic novel trilogy of the same name.
This novel trilogy consists of 3 novels and these are The Summer I Turned Pretty (2009), It’s not Summer Without You (2010) and We’ll Always Have Summer (2011), published by Simon & Schuster.
Jenny Han is known for Young adult fiction and Children’s fiction. Her other novel “To All the Boys I Loved Before”, which was also adapted by Netflix for a film of the same name, starring Naoh Centineo and Lana Condor, became a massive hit.
