The Summer I Turned Pretty, more like the summer Conrad became despondent… Since season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty was released, fans have been kept on the edge of their seats every Wednesday, with plot twists, heartbreaks, and a love triangle that’s messier than ever.
After a four-year time jump between the end of seasons 2 and 3, there have been a lot of fill-in-the-blanks for viewers. Here’s a summary: Ever since they were young, Belly, her brother Steven, Jeremiah, and Conrad have been close family friends. In recent years, drama has simmered between Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. The love triangle that started in Season 1 hasn’t deflated since, becoming the show’s central attraction.
Season 3 starts off at the end of Belly’s junior year of college, with a shocking revelation- she is engaged to Jeremiah. With Jeremiah’s past infidelity and the impulsive timing of the proposal, fans were caught off guard. At Monta Vista, though, students seemed less surprised by the engagement itself and more divided over who should have proposed in the first place. “I’m definitely Team Conrad,” says Jamie Wang, a sophomore at MV. “I think he’s a lot better for Belly, and I really don’t like Jeremiah after Season 3.”
The latest season hasn’t just reignited the Conrad vs. Jeremiah debate; it has made it clearer than ever where MV students stand. After watching Conrad confess his love to Belly, students are hoping the show ends with her choosing him.
“I hope that she and Conrad get married,” says Harlow Heiden, a sophomore at MV. “Jeremiah’s definitely not going to see her the same way, but I hope she ends up with Conrad and is happy.”
With only a few episodes left, The Summer I Turned Pretty is racing toward its season finale. Whether it ends in heartbreak or a happily ever after, fans just want Belly to finally make a decision. And at this point, most are rooting for Conrad. Opinions might differ, but one thing is certain: no matter how it ends, people will definitely be talking about it the next morning.
