United States	Lauren Chval AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: The second season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty', is so good that it makes the (already very strong) first season feel like a preamble we had to watch to get to what the show was meant to be."	POS
United States	Gillian Bennett Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: this summer was not like the last, and so while my time spent at Cousins Beach was not all sunshine and rainbows, it wasn’t fun for these characters either"	NEU
United States	CT Jones Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: A lot of people make shows about growing up. Few people get them so awkwardly, breathtakingly correct"	NEU
United States	Kayleigh Donaldson The Wrap	"[2nd Season Review]: When it allows itself to be a quiet, serious-minded but unpretentious teen drama, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” is one of the best examples of its genre	POS
United States	Nicole Gallucci Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2’s emotional roller coaster serves as a harsh reminder that life isn’t always a beach, but its unique mix of 'miserable and magical' will keep you hooked until the end."	POS
United States	Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"A contradiction of the highest order. This series can be cringe-inducing and insincere, yet it is also addictive and absorbing (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Therese Lacson Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: Though the second season introduces some heavier topics (...) however, it doesn't take away any of the charm and youthfulness that these characters exude."	POS
United States	Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"[1st Season Review]: What’s missing is the charm, humor and joy of the Netflix 'To All the Boys' movies, which are also based on a series of books by Han. There’s no spark to the performances here. Nothing to make you want to keep watching."	NEG
United States	Abby Cavenaugh Collider	"[1st Season Review]: Overall, The Summer I Turned Pretty is a fun summertime watch, the TV equivalent of 'a beach read.' Though not every moment is light and summery, it is a perfect ode to summer and young love"	POS
United States	Lauren Chval AV Club	"[1st Season Review]: The show strikes a delicate balance between lightness and heaviness. The Summer I Turned Pretty is an extremely fun watch, for sure. But there’s still depth"	POS
United States	Marya E. Gates rogerebert.com	"[1st Season Review]: While “The Summer I Turned Pretty” doesn’t exactly reinvent the breezy teen summer series, it’s a bit like an overly sweet icy pop. Not very nutritious, messy af, but fun while it lasts"	NEU
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: Tenderly written and endearingly acted, it’s sensitive to the subtle but irreversible shifts in self-perception that come with late adolescence"	POS
United States	Delia Cai Vanity Fair	"[1st Season Review]: [A] wistful fantasy for the whole family"	POS
Australia	Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald	"[1st Season Review]: It's well written and distinctly tender in places, with the extra dimension of also being a coming-of-new-age story for the mums. Nice (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Radhika Menon Decider	"[1st Season Review]: The series promises strong female characters and a beautiful setting to spend some time within."	POS
