Jenny Han is also a producer
In addition to authoring the books, Han also worked as a producer on the series, which makes the adaptation more faithful to the books. In an interview with peopleshe explained that she turned down several proposals to adapt the story until she could work on it and do it the way she always thought.
impeccable cast
One of the biggest “mistakes” of most teen shows is casting with actors who are much older than the characters or who don’t even look like teenagers. But The Summer That Changed My Life does a great job with the young cast of protagonists, in addition to being faithful to the book, they look their age in the series.

Nothing better than starting a series with the certainty that it won’t be canceled anytime soon. This because The Summer That Changed My Life was renewed by Amazon Prime Video even before the premiere of the first season. So, you can marathon calmly because there are more episodes on the way.
