Ranking the fifth most-watched returning series on Prime Video, Greendale High School students are raving about The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Before it was a series, it was a very popular book, being the #1 New York Times best-selling series.. The plot of the story focuses on a girl named Isabel “Belly” and her love triangle with 2 brothers over the summer. As she gets through heartbreak and first love, she navigates the grief of her mom’s best friend, Susannah, who was almost like a second mother to Belly.
All over TikTok, there is a big debate on who Belly is going to choose and be with. Conrad and Jeremiah are 2 brothers who have been lifelong family friends with Belly and her family. Both are trying to win over Belly, but she has to decide on who she wants. With this being said, many are predicting who she is going to be with by using the categories “Team Conrad” and “Team Jeremiah”.
“I am definitely team Conrad; he was with Belly first,” junior Lilah Martinez said. “The worst thing Jeremiah has ever done to Belly is cheat on her with Lacie. The fight at the funeral was unnecessary. I think Belly was disrespectful for acting out at the funeral.”
Martinez’s favorite thing about Conrad is how much hotter he is than Jeremiah.
“I’m team Conrad because he has proved to be more mature and more and more throughout the show,” senior Ana Obradovic said. “The best thing that Conrad has done throughout the show was stop worrying about doing anything and everything he can to take care of the people he loves and instead focused on himself and his mental health. I was waiting for the series to come out after reading the book, I got into it right away since it was very engaging from the beginning!”
Obradovic thinks the saddest thing to happen throughout the show was Susannahs death.
“The saddest thing that happened in the series was when Susannah died because she was a very important character.” senior Chloe Gibson said.
