Following her brief appearances on Outer Banks, Lilah’s first big role was in Amazon’s The Summer I Turned Pretty where, according to Jonas Pate via Port City Daily, series creator Jenny Han “didn’t know” Lilah was his daughter and got the job “100% on her own:”

“And she didn’t know that Lilah was the daughter of ‘Outer Banks’ creator. Lilah got it straight-up, 100% on her own.”
