Being in my early 20s made me realize how cringe and naive I was at 16, and eventually this made me more sympathetic with this type of stories. Like, Belly is still a child, she knows nothing about real love and the one, but we all pretend that yes, she has a point. Soon friendship is no longer enough. From first kisses to first loves, seasons pass, promises are made and hearts are broken. And before long, Isabel must make the must make the biggest decision of her life - which Fisher boy will she choose? I didn't answer his question. Instead I said, "I was really good! I could have been dancing in a company by now!" I couldn't have. I wasn't that good, not by any stretch of the imagination." You can tell by this simply put declaration that Belly has given, how much she wants this guy to love her. She has gone so far, and given away her dignity, to BOAST HOW GOOD SHE IS AT BALLET. According to Deadline, the official synopsis for The Summer I Turned Pretty series reads as follows: “[ TSITP] is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship. It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer.”

i won't be rereading, and the best punishment i can give my sister is making her read these anyway.a b c d Gallucci, Nicole (July 12, 2023).

Events from previous summers have impacted Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher's connection with Belly as Belly navigates the difficulties of growing up and her first love. Belly discovers the importance of taking chances to achieve her goals and that change is inevitable. The story follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin, who is about to turn sixteen, as she and her family reunite with Susannah Fisher and her two sons, Jeremiah and Conrad (the latter of which Belly has had a crush on since she was ten). Conrad is obviously the better choice, but honestly, why would anyone like Belly? I'm confused on how these two guys are fighting over this fifteen year old child who can't take a joke. anyways, I think no one has chemistry with anyone. Conrad and Belly have much more chemistry than Jeremy and Belly but not much more and it annoys me to no ends. If you're gonna have a love triangle, at least make it complicated or make it so that there's chemistry with everyone.

Conrad, on the other hand, regrets letting Belly go. He puts Belly in a difficult position when he tells her he loves her. It's possible that TSITP season 3 could follow the chronology of Han's novels. The next book in the trilogy, titled We’ll Always Have Summer, was published in 2011. Here's the official synopsis of We'll Always Have Summer — do with this information what you will! *insert eye emojis* Plus, she was so mean to her mother!, and she kept thinking awful things about her mother and father. She was so snotty and whiny and urgh just overall annoying. I couldn't swallow her.a b Lacson, Therese (July 12, 2023).

Susannah has two teenage sons: Conrad, the eldest, is about to attend his freshman year of college, and Jeremiah is still in high school. The Fisher boys have been a source of friendship and fascination for Belly for as long as she can remember, and she’s been harboring a crush on Conrad for years. Both families have faced challenges; Susannah had cancer, and the Conklins recently divorced. The main issue with her character is that she was always contradictory.

To make things worse, she tried to justify it by convincing HERSELF she did not like him.
