Did you catch it?! Jenny Han just dropped the ultimate wink to fans in The Summer I Turned Pretty finale’s end credits… and it looks like a MOVIE could be on the horizon! After seasons of sun-soaked drama at Cousins Beach, fiery love triangles, heartbreak, and those unforgettable first loves, we thought we were saying goodbye.
