The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Debuts With Fans Split Over Belly's Romantic Choice

The third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on Jenny Han's book series, centers on Belly Conklin's complicated love triangle with brothers Jeremiah and Conrad Fisher. Early episodes reveal Jeremiah's infidelity during a breakup, mirroring a famous 'Friends' storyline, which leads to tension and ultimately an engagement proposal from Jeremiah that fans found controversial due to its timing and lack of a ring. Meanwhile, Conrad, recovering from a car accident, remains a key figure in Belly's emotional journey, fueling fan speculation that she will end up with him, consistent with the book's conclusion where Belly calls off her wedding to Jeremiah. Actress Lola Tung, who plays Belly, expressed confidence that fans will be satisfied with Belly's ending and noted the season features a time jump to a more mature phase for the characters, promising an emotional rollercoaster. Social media reactions have been mixed, with frustration over the portrayal of Belly's relationship choices, especially regarding Jeremiah's repeated betrayals and quick proposal. The season continues to explore the complexities of young love, loyalty, and personal growth, with new episodes streaming weekly on Prime Video.
