So they really paved the way.
S
10:56Sabaa TahirGUEST
Jenny Han, you know, they really paved the way in in a sense for people like me to be able to see that, oh, this is something that, you know, I can do.
S
11:05Sabaa TahirGUEST
Now, I think in those early books they had, they didn't necessarily pull in Asian-American culture heavily into their work.
S
11:15Sabaa TahirGUEST
But it didn't matter to me.
The Sky Is Everywhere (2022)
A
6:46AmandaHOST
Yeah.
A
6:47AmandaHOST
I also just think because the book, like something like To All the Boys I've Loved Before, like the Jenny Han books, things that really kind of reach this level of cultural zeitgeist, I feel as if this book did not.
A
7:00AmandaHOST
So that's why when the movie was, especially also, I guess it being made during the pandemic.
A
7:04AmandaHOST
But besides that, I just feel as if the book didn't reach those heights that some of these other ones have reached.

So it's just like we can't.
T
3:18Titus SmithGUEST
I just allow them both to have, I allow Jenny Han to have just like made it make sense.
T
3:23Titus SmithGUEST
If you really want to, if you want to make it make
J
3:24Jessica StrausserHOST
sense, you can.
T
3:25Titus SmithGUEST
Like when he said in season three, episode one about how like the whole, he always felt this way.
T
3:30Titus SmithGUEST
And it grew when you, when you wake up from a dream, that was a really good, I love how Jenny Han did that.
T
3:34Titus SmithGUEST
But type the pain season.
T
3:35Titus SmithGUEST
One, within the context, it seemed as if it was now as in the summer, even though we can't take it as meaning before now that season three, episode one came out.

releasing on Spotify official audio books about Trevor Zegers entitled The Summer I Turned Gritty, which is a reference, of course, to Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty.
S

It's not even a reference to Gritty from the Philadelphia Flyers.

Number six is To All the Boys I've Loved Before, based on the Jenny Han novel, where a teenager's secret love letters are accidentally mailed out.

Absolutely.

But creator Jenny Han made a highly unconventional structural choice regarding the ending of this story.
S
22:10speaker_1HOST
The narrative strategy here is fascinating.
S
22:12speaker_0HOST
It really is.
(Re)play It Forward - S3:E4 - "Last Stand"
V
20:43Vicky VisaliaHOST
it is a really good scene, and I think that you needed it to soften Laurel.
V
20:47Vicky VisaliaHOST
The key Jenny Han genius around it, though, is the way that Laurel is very...
V
20:55Vicky VisaliaHOST
She's got this, like, hard exterior, but John can kinda break that down, and when she is talking to John in this moment, she is being very vulnerable and she's saying what she actually thinks and it's coming across.
V
21:14Vicky VisaliaHOST
She said the same thing to Belly, but she yelled it at her, which is kind of like a mom thing, so it's like, kinda like two adults talking.
V
22:00Vicky VisaliaHOST
At this point.
C
22:01CaseyHOST
Mm-hmm.
C
22:02CaseyHOST
All right, Jenny Han genius.
V
22:05Vicky VisaliaHOST
You go first.
"Summer Tides" (Team Conrad Meeting Ep 6) — The Summer I Turned Swiftie | Episode 44
K
1:06Katherine McKenzieHOST
Yeah.
K
1:06Katherine McKenzieHOST
A update from last episode, uh, Jenny Han put something in her stories which was a memory back to, like, a compilation that people had done on August 20th last year, which is the love confession on the beach day, and without comment posted this mashup and I think the heading on the mashup was, like, when the world collectively lost its minds.
K
1:29Katherine McKenzieHOST
So J- Jenny, what are you trying to tell us? Is the movie coming August 20th next year? What, what are you trying to tell us, Jenny? Right?
T
1:36Titus SmithGUEST
Interesting.
8 MINS LATER
T
9:16Titus SmithGUEST
Like, I used to say, "We're Team Conrad," at the end of every video.
T
9:20Titus SmithGUEST
And it was just funny.
T
9:21Titus SmithGUEST
It's r- what's funny is that shortly after I started posting, Jenny Han had commented on my videos.
K
9:26Katherine McKenzieHOST
Oh, wow.
BYO COURT: Bookish Crimes Are Now on Trial
B
13:36BrandiHOST
However, the blame does not lie with the show itself.
B
13:42BrandiHOST
We are here to tell you today that the blame lies with Jenny Han.
K
13:47KendraHOST
[laughs]
B
13:48BrandiHOST
This is not the fault of the show.
K
14:47KaylaHOST
Sure.
K
14:48KaylaHOST
[laughs] Yeah.
K
14:51KendraHOST
While I do agree that Jenny Han has done this show a great disservice, as she has done Amazon Prime a great disservice, she's a blessing and a curse wrapped in one woman, um, how can you say that Season 2 will have so much potential if they changed so much of the book to leave us with nothing for Season 2? We've already sped run through the entire book.
B
15:12BrandiHOST
Great question.

I do wish that, like, on, on top of this, I want them to also experiment with the very high quality sitcom-esque AI that is being pushed out, and I think, I think they could do a really good job with that.
C
45:54Chris HallHOST
I, this felt like, to me, it felt very Jenny Han-esque, for those who don't know.

C

Um, very Jenny Han-esque, very, um, uh, To All the Boys That I've Loved Before.
