Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series. Please note that the eBook edition does NOT include access to the audio edition and digital book. Written for learners of English as a foreign language, each title includes carefully adapted text, new illustrations and language learning exercises. Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content. The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR). Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test readers’ story comprehension and develop vocabulary. We'll Always Have Summer, a Level 5 Reader, is B1 in the CEFR framework. The text is made up of sentences with up to four clauses, introducing present perfect continuous, past perfect, reported speech and second conditional. It is well supported by illustrations, which appear regularly. We’ll Always Have Summer is the last of three famous books about Belly and her feelings for Conrad and his brother, Jeremiah. Belly is now dating Jeremiah and their relationship is serious. Belly has known Jeremiah since she was a child. But she has known Conrad, too. Which of the brothers does she really love?

The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy
Same beach-house love triangle between two brothers, from the start; fuller and heavier, with grief and a dying-parent thread running under the romance.
Slow Dance
Same childhood-friends-turned-lovers ache and second-chance reunion, but with adult characters, more years of regret, and slightly more heat than the teen version.
The Pairing
Second-chance love with exes who were childhood best friends, but adult, queer, and far more explicit than the chaste summer version.
Sex and Vanity
A girl torn between two men across two worlds, same triangle pull, but older characters, satirical tone, and a glossy high-society setting.
Never Never
Childhood friends turned lovers getting a second chance, but darker and twistier with an amnesia mystery and a bit more heat.
Losing hope
Another childhood-friends second-chance love with heavy emotional history, but darker: trauma, grief and abuse drive it, and the heat level is higher.
