Summary

  • Netflix's adaptation of the young adult novel "My Life with the Walter Boys" has quickly gained popularity, similar to Amazon Prime Video's hit series "The Summer I Turned Pretty."
  • Both shows feature a love triangle between the main character and two brothers and themes of trauma, grief, and typical teen drama conflicts.
  • While "The Summer I Turned Pretty" has three novels to draw from, "My Life with the Walter Boys" will have to stretch out the story for multiple seasons, which could pose challenges in the future.
