Could ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Series Change Its Ending? Fans Are Shocked

BBG News

As summer draws near, you’ll find us at Cousins Beach – care to join? If so, it’s going to be Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah, as the Conklins and Fishers prepare to make a comeback for another season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.” Originally airing on Prime Video in 2022, this captivating series is set to return for its third installment. Adapted from Jenny Han’s trilogy of the same name, the plot revolves around Belly’s tumultuous journey as she grapples with her feelings towards her two best friends who, you guessed it, are brothers.

As the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” gets ready to premiere soon, fans are quickly generating more theories about the series’ romantic triangle. The question on everyone’s mind is who Belly will ultimately choose between her two love interests. Let’s dive in and explore this further.

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Love Triangle

The Summer I Turned Pretty revolves around Belly Conklin (Lola Tung), who visits a beach house in Cousins Beach every summer. The house belongs to Susannah Fisher, a long-time friend of Laurel, Belly’s mother. This friendship has also resulted in Belly and her brother Steven becoming close with Susannah’s sons, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). In simpler terms, the story primarily focuses on Belly and her relationships with Susannah’s sons during their annual summer visits.

In the family circle, Belly admired the Fisher brothers particularly, and it was an added challenge since Susannah harbored hopes for Belly to date one of her sons. Interestingly, it turned out that both Susannah and Belly had feelings for more than one Fisher brother. While we may have suspected something, the complexity wasn’t immediately obvious.

Both Conrad and Jeremiah possess admirable traits that help you appreciate their actions. This is similar to the love triangles in shows like “Vampire Diaries” or “My Life with the Walter Boys.” The romantic situation in “The Summer I Turned Pretty” has sparked intense debate among its fan base, much like these popular series.

Who Does Belly End Up with in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Books?

Absolutely, Belly has always had a deep, passionate affection for Conrad, and they’ve certainly had some adorable instances together in the books and series. Since childhood, Conrad Fisher held a special place in her heart, and she yearned to be with him someday. Eventually, her wish came true, and they embarked on their relationship. Unfortunately, due to his mother’s untimely death from cancer, Conrad was emotionally drained and not ready for romance. Despite the pain, Belly found a way to move forward, and it turned out that she had feelings for Jeremiah, and the feeling was mutual.

After being together for two years, Belly discovered that Jeremiah had been unfaithful to her with another woman. This revelation signaled the start of the end of their relationship. They reconciled briefly and even became engaged, but eventually canceled their wedding when Jeremiah acknowledged that Belly’s love for Conrad would never fade. As a result, she reunited with Conrad, whom she later married, and they embarked on their new life together.

While it’s understandable, yet troubling if this portrayal doesn’t fall under the category of character assassination, then we must redefine that term. In truth, the show masterfully develops Jeremiah’s character, making every scene featuring him a genuine delight, one reason why The Summer I Turned Pretty stands out as an exceptional book-to-screen adaptation. Jeremiah appears to be deeply caring, faithful, and sensitive. He embodies all the ideal traits. The depiction of his relationship with Belly in the novels is heartrending, particularly how he handled their situation. Considering this background, it seems fitting that Belly chooses Conrad, but it does leave a bitter aftertaste. However, the series could potentially introduce new twists, offering a more balanced resolution for Jeremiah’s character arc.

Who Will Belly End Up with in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Series?

Given that Jenny Han is the show runner of The Summer I Turned Pretty, it’s not unexpected that the Prime Video series maintains a strong adherence to the original source material. In most adaptations from books, alterations are common, but in this case, the goal is not only to introduce beloved characters and plotlines, but also to preserve intrigue and unpredictability. The series may indeed remain faithful to the books, potentially following the same narrative arc where Jeremiah cheats on Belly, ultimately positioning her and Conrad as the endgame couple.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but share this intriguing bit of news! It appears that Lola Tung and Gavin Casalagno were spotted filming scenes in Paris – not part of the original books, mind you. You may recall that Belly only briefly visited Spain according to the source material. The repeated scenes in Paris might hint at a slight deviation from the books for Season 3. This change could potentially mean that Belly and Jeremiah’s relationship may develop differently from the books, staying true to their dynamic within the series. Excitingly, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is set to premiere in July 2025!

The Summer I Turned Pretty Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Prime Video.
