“The Summer I Turned Pretty,” based on Jenny Han’s novel, became the No. 1 show on Prime Video in its premiere weekend following its June 17 release.

After the series’ debut, all three “The Summer I Turned Pretty” books shot into the top three spots on the Amazon Best Sellers list, with book two, “It’s Not Summer Without You,” at No. 1.

The artists whose music is used in the show have also seen an increase in streams, sales and followers, with some experiencing up to a 6,000% increase in song sales.

Taylor Swift’s “Lover” album — songs “Cruel Summer,” “False God” and “This Love” are all featured in the show — re-entered the Billboard Top 40 three years after its release. The album also went from Swift’s No. 4 streamed album to her No. 1 streamed album on Spotify after gaining 3.9 million streams; “Cruel Summer” had its highest streaming day on Spotify since 2019.

Slightly off-topic, another TV Series based on another of Jenny Han's book series will be releasing soon and I just wanted to give you a head's up. 

XO, Kitty      May 18, 2023     Netflix

Originally based on the Jenny Han novels To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2014), P.S. I Still Love You (2015) and Always and Forever, Lara Jean (2017).

This new TV Series is based off of the Netflix "To All The Boys" movie series, especially the final movie: To All the Boys: Always and Forever.

This is a 10 half-hour episode YA dramedy that focuses on Lara Jean Covey's youngest sister, Kitty Song Covey, as she leaves Portland, Oregon, heading for Seoul, South Korea, on her quest to find true love.

Kitty Song Covey is the "Teen Matchmaker", who thinks she knows everything there is to know about love. But moving halfway around the world to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, she soon realizes that relationships are a lot more complicated when it’s your own heart on the line.
