Do Belly and Jeremiah sleep together?

Trivia –

Jeremiah was Belly’s first kiss, abruptly kissing her during a game of Truth or Dare at fourteen years old. Belly had been furious since he stole her first kiss, which she wanted to be special, and he had only done so as a joke and to make Taylor jealous. The two did not have sex during their two year relationship. While Belly came close to believing she was ready to give her virginity to Jeremiah, even seriously considering consummating their relationship during a trip to the beach house one time, she ultimately decided against it. Jeremiah later implies during the couple’s break up that their lack of sexual intimacy was a problem for him. The moment Jeremiah saw Belly as a “girl” and developed feelings for her was during their summer meet up after Belly and her family arrive at Cousin’s Beach in the very beginning of The Summer I Turned Pretty, It was shortly after this when Jeremiah saw Conrad checking Belly out as she walked away to get a pop from the house that he also experienced “crazy jealousy” and realized he liked Belly. The two remained friends after their break up. Jeremiah admits in the final novel that deep down he always knew that Belly and Conrad still loved each other. However, he still dated Belly regardless of it because he loved her and, initially, wanted a relationship despite it. Belly indirectly and unintentionally ruined the brotherly relationship between Jeremiah and Conrad. In the final novel, Jeremiah was jealous of her and Conrad’s lingering feelings for each other. After being fed up with Conrad lying about his true feelings for Belly as well finding out about his secret love confession to her, Jeremiah disowns him. This results in the two not talking to one another for an extended amount of time. When Belly and Jeremiah entered their college years together, this proved to be when they began to meet the rough times of their relationship when seeing their “non-summer” selves and the conflicting parts of their personalities. Whenever the couple ate together, Jeremiah would frequently steal bits of food from Belly’s plate. This heavily annoyed her as she does not like it when people do that, even playfully. While the two got along great during their non-romantic relationship and even had romantic tension together, their college years as a couple proved to be rather unstable and emotionally hard. After they ended their relationship together, it is implied their general relationship smoothed out again. Belly disliked Jeremiah’s habit of not taking things seriously anymore during their relationship and found this trait to be annoying, especially during their engagement and plans for a married life together. As children, they practiced an “ESP connection” where they would sit and try to read each other’s minds. Belly believed Jeremiah could read her mind when, actually, he was able to read her based on her facial reactions. However, they grew to know each other well enough to accurately guess what the other was likely thinking and began to simply call it their “ESP connection”.

What book does Jeremiah cheat on Belly?

Characters –

• Isabel “Belly” Conklin: The narrator, and protagonist of the series. She is the daughter of Laurel and the younger sister of Steven. She is known to have had a crush on her friend Conrad since she was young, but her relationship with him falls apart at the end of It’s Not Summer Without You after the two become a couple for a short time. She then starts a relationship with his brother, Jeremiah, after he kisses her; making his feelings known to her. In We’ll Always Have Summer, which chronicles their two-year relationship, Belly discovers at a frat party that Jeremiah cheated on her with a sorority girl. She slaps him across the face and spends days in bed, crying. To prove his regret, Jeremiah proposes to her, which she hesitantly accepts; however, a result of ongoing fights with her mother (who is furious with her for choosing to marry so young), she stays at Cousins Beach. Because of this arrangement, her old feelings for Conrad, who is staying there as well, begin to slowly resurface. Toward the climax of the novel, Conrad confesses his love for her. Although Belly blows up at his confession, saying he was too late, her feelings for both brothers are called into question. She and Jeremiah, in the end, call off their engagement and break up for good after realizing they are not meant to be. In the epilogue, Belly has not heard from Conrad for two years, before receiving her handwritten letters from him “each and every month” throughout the rest of her college years. Eventually, she begins to stay in contact with him. Conrad shows up at her college graduation, resulting in them getting back together as a couple. He proposes to Belly a little over a year later.
• Conrad “Con”, “Connie” Fisher: The eldest son of Susannah and Adam Fisher, and older brother of Jeremiah. He is known to push away his loved ones and to keep all his emotions and feelings inside. In the first book, his character is something of a jerk, having spent the summer at the beach getting drunk or locked in his room. It is suspected, though, that he has developed feelings for Belly; he is shown several times as either overly protective or jealous of boys flirting with her. At the end of the novel, he and Belly become a couple. However, the relationship is short-lived when Conrad once again slips back into his emotional old ways. At the beginning of the second novel, he runs away from college to protect the beach house once he finds out his father intends to sell it. In the end, Laurel shows up and makes a deal with Mr. Fisher that Conrad and Jeremiah can personally keep the house if Conrad returns to college and passes all his exams. The adults leave and Belly and Jeremiah help prepare Conrad for his exams. Things seem to go well, but take an abrupt turn for the worse when Conrad walks in on Belly and Jeremiah kissing. Conrad, however, tells his brother he is over Belly and it is okay if the two get together. In We’ll Always Have Summer, which takes place two years later, it is revealed that Conrad lied when saying he was over Belly and has always been in love with her. He spends time throughout the novel fighting his true feelings and pretending he does not care for her. However, once he discovers at Jeremiah’s bachelor party how he cheated on Belly, Conrad becomes furious and leaves. When Belly later comes across him, Conrad confesses his long-hidden love for her before begging her not to marry his brother and to be with him, breaking down into tears. Belly turns him down, claiming he is too late, breaking his heart. The next day, Conrad apologizes to Belly because he was “too drunk” during his confession, but Belly knows he is lying. After Jeremiah finds out about his brother’s feelings for Belly, he goes missing on his wedding day. Conrad finds him at their mother’s garden. They fight and Jeremiah soon disowns him as his brother, saying that he is “dead” to him. Conrad bids Belly goodbye, and gives her back his infinity necklace, saying it “always” belonged to her and “always will”. In the epilogue, Conrad has not contacted Belly for two years before sending her his first handwritten letter, which then come “each and every month” through the rest of her college years. He then shows up at her college graduation, and they get back together. This all leads up to his marriage proposal two years into their relationship. The series ends with Belly marrying Conrad, and the couple starting a new life together.
• Jeremiah “Jere” Fisher: At the outset of the series, he is the “golden” boy, the one who appears to be untainted in the eyes of everyone. He is a good friend to Belly and a loving brother to Conrad. He steps aside as Conrad pursues Belly, even when he came to realize his own feelings for her. In It’s Not Summer Without You, he grows tired of burying his feelings for Belly and abruptly kisses her while sitting in a car with her; she kisses back, only for Conrad to discover them. Despite being near furious of what he caught the two doing, Conrad gives Jeremiah permission to have his chance with Belly. In We’ll Always Have Summer, his character changes drastically from golden boy to frat boy, even cheating on Belly with the “sister sorority slut”. He proposes to Belly to prove his remorse, but is shown to have dramatically changed for the worse. He remains jealous of Conrad and Belly’s friendship and even uses his engagement to Belly to spite Conrad. However, when he discovers that Conrad confessed his feelings for her, he takes off the night before the wedding and fails to show up on the day. Conrad finds him and confronts him about who loves and deserves Belly more. After reading a letter for “him” from their mom, and discovering it was actually meant for Conrad, Jeremiah disowns Conrad as his brother. In the epilogue, he is seen at Conrad and Belly’s wedding and brings a new girl along.
• Susannah “Beck” Fisher: The rock that everyone seems to cling to. Even in death, her calming force is referenced and used by all as they navigate the different situations in their lives. She dies of cancer between books one and two, but is heavily remembered by her family and friends throughout the course of the series. It is revealed that she left letters to “the summer kids” in the final book (although we only get to read the one she gave to Belly). She is shown to be very friendly, loving and compassionate. Her death hits everyone hard and life without her seems near impossible; it takes everyone almost a year to pull themselves together and form a life without her existence.
• Mr. Fisher: A man who is known to have his way no matter what it costs or who it hurts. He is Susannah’s husband and the father of Conrad and Jeremiah. After Susannah dies, he turns to whiskey, He drives Conrad away after Conrad saw how badly he began treating Susannah, such as cheating on her and running away when she got cancer. He tries to sell the summer house in It’s Not Summer Without You following Susannah’s death, and is barely stopped in time by Laurel and Conrad. In the final book, he tries to mend his relationship with his sons and pays for Jeremiah and Belly’s wedding, despite not agreeing with them getting married at such a young age.
• Taylor Jewel: Belly’s best friend despite being her polar opposite. Unlike Belly, she is boy crazy and appears shallow, though by We’ll Always Have Summer, she seems to have matured. In the first book of the series, as seen in flashbacks, she goes for all three boys (Steven, Conrad and Jeremiah) almost at once, determined to hook up with one of them. She is seen desperately trying to pair Belly with boys, even though her friend endlessly protests. She and Belly have a falling out towards the climax of It’s Not Summer Without You after Taylor accuses Belly of being “a crappy friend” when Belly does not want her to come to a party at the beach house. By We’ll Always Have Summer, they make peace, and Taylor can be seen throughout the course of the book supporting and helping Belly with her wedding. She confronts Conrad after suspecting he said something to Belly to upset her and warns him to leave her alone. Although she admits that Belly told her a part of her will always love Conrad, and knows he loves Belly too, she asks him to “be the good guy Belly says he is” by letting her go.
• Laurel Dunne: Belly and Steven’s mother as well as Susannah’s best friend. She is rigid and desperate to have the relationship with Belly that her daughter had with Susannah. She seems to always make the wrong choices as far as Belly is concerned, but her desire to be close to her daughter is prevalent and admirable. The two women come head to head in We’ll Always Have Summer when Belly and Jeremiah announce their engagement. Laurel is furious, saying the couple are far too young for such a commitment, even going as far as refusing to show up for the wedding, which leaves Belly devastated. After seeing her upset one night at Cousins Beach, Conrad talks to her and manages to convince her to make amends with Belly. It is shown in the final book that the relationship between Conrad and Laurel is very close and even resembles the relationship between Conrad and Susannah. In the epilogue of We’ll Always Have Summer, it is implied that she helped Belly pick out her wedding dress for Belly’s wedding to Conrad, and helped plan the ceremony.
• Steven Conklin: Belly’s older brother, a good friend and supportive brother. Though we see little of him, his truthfulness is a springboard for Belly to make difficult but wise decisions. He appears throughout Belly’s flashbacks, making fun of her and teasing her endlessly, but despite such teasing, he is shown to have a protective side. He even says to Belly herself in We’ll Always Have Summer that while Jeremiah was like a brother to him, Belly was his “little sister and came first”, something that surprises her.
• Cam: He only appears in The Summer I Turned Pretty as a summer fling of Belly’s. It is said that he had a crush on Belly throughout grade school but never had the courage to approach her. He leaves one final voicemail for Belly, asking if she wanted to stay in contact after the summer, but if not, “it was nice hanging out with her”. He is mentioned twice more in the series, as one of Belly’s summer memories.

Does Belly love Jeremiah?

We’ll Always Have Summer — “Summer” Series College freshman Belly Conklin was in love with Conrad Fisher for most of her life. Her mother Laurel was best friends with Conrad’s mother, Susannah, so Belly and her mom would go stay at the Fishers’ summer house in Cousins Beach every summer.

Belly’s childhood dreams of dating Conrad came true in high school, but Conrad’s emotional distance eventually broke them up. Susannah’s death from cancer drove them further apart, and Belly began dating Conrad’s younger brother, Jeremiah. Now finishing her freshman year of college, Belly has been happily dating Jeremiah for two years.

They’re a comfortable couple, happy together and well-liked by everyone they know. At a post-finals party at Jeremiah’s frat house, Belly feels jealous when Jeremiah talks to Lacie, a beautiful girl at his frat’s sister sorority. Belly dismisses her fears as groundless until she overhears Lacie saying she slept with Jeremiah during spring break.

Jeremiah admits that what she said is true, and Belly slaps him, utterly devasted by his betrayal. She tells him they’re finished. Belly recalls how she and Jeremiah had gotten into a fight before spring break. They broke up, but Jeremiah thought the breakup was permanent while Belly understood the breakup to be a temporary moment of trouble in the relationship.

To Jeremiah, getting physical with Lacie didn’t seem like cheating on Belly, but Belly interprets his actions as cheating. Belly’s disappointment in Jeremiah makes her think of his brother, Conrad. She recalls how, six months earlier she had driven down to the Fishers’ beach house and stayed the night.

• Conrad showed up and the two of them shared fun conversations.
• Belly never told Jeremiah about that day because she felt guilty about it.
• That day made Belly realize that, even after a few years of dating Jeremiah, she was still in love with Conrad.
• After a few days, Belly and Jeremiah have a heart-to-heart talk.

2. When she was alive, Susannah was a key supporter for an abused women’s shelter, and the shelter is planting a garden in her honor.

At the garden dedication event, Conrad arrives late and the narration switches to his point of view. Conrad still loves Belly, though he’s aware he has no right to discuss his feelings with her since he treated her badly when they were together and she’s now in a long-term relationship with his brother.

Jeremiah announces to Belly’s mom, Laurel, and his father, Mr. Fisher, that he and Belly plan to get married, and the parents are stunned and angry at the announcement. Laurel takes Belly home and strictly forbids her from marrying Jeremiah. Belly refuses to back down from her choice, and Laurel says she won’t attend the wedding or help Belly plan it.

Belly goes wedding dress shopping with her best friend, Taylor, but feels terrible that her mother isn’t there with her for such a big moment. Jeremiah visits Laurel. He tries to persuade her to accept his and Belly’s marriage plans, but it doesn’t work.

2. Conrad is also staying at the beach house and is shocked to learn that Belly is moving in until her August wedding.

Belly and Conrad fall into a daily routine of her planning wedding-related things and him doing small home repairs around the beach house. She needs help with wedding preparations, so he goes with her on various small trips to pick out flower vases and decorations, which just makes Jeremiah more jealous.

Conrad endeavors to hide his love for Belly, though he pays close attention to all her needs. When he hears her crying because her mother won’t attend her wedding shower, he resolves to convince Laurel to repair her relationship with Belly and is successful. Laurel comes to Belly’s wedding shower, which makes Belly incredibly happy.

Conrad feels increasingly agitated as the wedding day draws near, and an older friend of his advises him to tell Belly how he feels, even if it means breaking up the wedding. Belly also feels uneasy about the upcoming nuptials and imagines kissing Conrad, growing even more drawn to him when she learns that her mom only attended the wedding shower because Conrad personally convinced her.

At Jeremiah’s bachelor party, Conrad overhears Jeremiah’s friends teasing him about not having sex with Belly yet. The guys also mention how Jeremiah slept with Lacie during spring break, infuriating Conrad, who had assumed that his brother was faithful to Belly and would never do anything to hurt her.

Conrad tells Belly that Jeremiah cheated on her, and when she replies that she already knows, he openly confesses that he still loves her. Belly is angry that Conrad is telling her the words she always wanted to hear two years too late. He explains that he originally let her go because he felt like he didn’t deserve to love anyone after his mother’s death.

• Then he removed himself from Belly’s life so Jeremiah could have her, but only did so on the assumption that Jeremiah would treat her well.
• Conrad asks Belly to cancel her wedding to Jeremiah and be with him instead, but she refuses.
• The day before her wedding, Belly is in a quandary, loving both brothers but not knowing which one to choose, since her decision will permanently wound the remaining brother.

She tells Jeremiah about Conrad’s love confession, and Jeremiah realizes that Belly also still cares for Conrad and might only be marrying him to erase her memories of loving his brother. On the morning of the wedding, Belly learns that Jeremiah has vanished and that Conrad went to go look for him.

They cancel the wedding. A few years later, Belly is almost 24. After breaking up with Jeremiah, she spent a year abroad in Spain, where Conrad began to write her letters. The letters re-established their relationship, and they decide to marry. On Belly and Conrad’s wedding day, Belly thinks of Susannah and of all the dreams Susannah had for Belly’s future.

I felt like that’s where Belly was in her journey,” Han tells Variety, “These two characters were very much in love and had known each other their whole lives. I felt like they had really been through something together, and we had been with Belly through many first-times. It was important for the audience to be with her for that one.” “I thought no matter what happened in the future, this will always be a moment that she shares with her first love,” she adds.

“I approached the show in some ways as if I was writing a story in this moment in time. That’s what I would have done if I was writing it today.” When asked about filming the scene, Tung says that she and Briney talked with an intimacy coordinator individually and together on set while filming the scene.

Briney concurs, saying that there was an “intense focus on comfort and making sure everybody’s comfortable.” “It’s a closed set situation,” he says, adding that the sex scenes are generally “very choreographed.” Belly makes this decision, Tung says, because “she is really in love” with Conrad.

“For her in that moment in time, it is the the right thing and something that she wants to do and something that I think they both want,” she adds. “So it feels right to them. They both have a lot of love for each other, and they feel safe together too.

So it’s familiar, and it’s comfortable, but also new and exciting for them.” As for Conrad, Briney says, “He’s really terrified. He maybe has never cared about something more in his life and is afraid of ruining it or overstepping or being insensitive. He’s in uncharted territory of his own in how much he cares about it and that scares him.” This moment of intimacy is embedded in the grief that Belly experiences in the aftermath of their breakup, which happens on her prom night.

Conrad, devastated by his mother’s deteriorating condition, retreats into himself and pushes everyone away, leaving Belly by herself (and without a corsage) at her own prom. Then, at Susannah’s funeral, Belly makes the situation worse by lashing out at Conrad, telling him, “Go to hell.” So when Jeremiah calls her weeks later to tell her that his brother has gone missing, Belly knows it’s her shot at redemption and, possibly, healing.

How long did Belly and Conrad date?

Trivia –

It is estimated that Conrad proposed to Belly after dating her for about a year, possibly a little over. The main reason for why they did not work together as a couple initially was due to Conrad having trouble controlling his negative feelings and emotions. He felt he could not be what Belly emotionally needed due to his many personal issues because of his mother’s illness/death as well as his father’s emotional abuse. It was only after the years following Susannah’s death that Conrad managed to properly handle his unstable feelings and was finally ready to be with Belly, at which point in the series, she was involved with Jeremiah. When asked about when he knew that he was in love with Belly, Conrad said there was never a specific moment that he knew. He described it as a gradual feeling – comparing it to sleep and slowly waking up – that came to him over time. When he finally recognized the feeling, it left him with no doubt in his mind that it was love. They are each other’s first – and only – real love. Conrad reveals in We’ll Always Have Summer that out of all the mistakes he made in his life, his biggest regret was letting Belly go in It’s Not Summer Without You, He further says that if he could undo one of his previous mistakes, that would be the one he would choose to undo. Belly had a childhood crush on Conrad starting when she was ten years old. While the two were good friends growing up together, Conrad never reciprocated the feeling and only saw her as a little sister. Ironically, it was only after Belly tried moving on from her childhood crush that Conrad finally began returning her feelings. Also, Belly was the one known to have been “crazy” so-to-speak about Conrad, but by the final novel, it was Conrad who fell head over heels in love with her and confessed his feelings in a passionate love declaration. Belly had her first slow dance with Conrad and named him as the first boy she ever cried over and loved. While Conrad dated many girls, Susannah said that she only ever saw him genuinely in love once – with Belly. Conrad later confirmed this statement when asked if he had ever been in love and he said he has only once. He admits to it being with Belly and, later, also says that he feels like Belly is the only girl he can ever truly love. The only time Conrad ever laid himself “fucking bare” emotionally-speaking was with Belly. This was in the final novel We’ll Always Have Summer where Conrad breaks down and passionately confesses his true feelings for Belly and begs her not to marry Jeremiah. He even openly cries in front of her and, despite her resisting, tightly embraces Belly while doing so. When Belly brutally rejects him, he says she truly broke his heart. Conrad and Belly’s first relationship lasted six months, during which Conrad claims in We’ll Always Have Summer that he never so much as looked at another girl. Both times Conrad and Belly broke the other’s heart, through their perspective and narrative of the moment, they both said that the moment they rejected the other they saw the “love” or “light” they had in their eyes for them “die”. When Conrad begins writing Belly hand-written letters during her time in Spain, he says the last time he did such a thing was with his grandmother when thanking her for graduation money. When Belly began writing him back after he begged her for a response, he kept the first letter she wrote him and carried it around with him in his wallet so he would always have it with him as it “kept him going” and “gave him hope”. Upon reuniting as a couple, Belly convinced Conrad to keep the letters they wrote to each other together as they “belonged” together. Conrad initially wished to continue to keep the letter with him, but soon agreed with Belly. Belly sometimes re-reads the letters despite knowing each of the letters by heart, enjoying the fond memories and feelings the letters bring her. The unexpected Christmas they spent together at Cousins Beach is stated by both to be their “best” or favorite Christmas memory. It is possibly implied that the first time Conrad flirted with Belly was in The Summer I Turned Pretty, This is when Belly tries to convince Conrad to stop smoking and he suggestively asks her what she will give him if he does, leaving Belly shocked since he had never done such a thing with her before. Conrad is “two years a quarter” older Belly. Conrad is shown to be rather protective of Belly at times. A few examples of this are when he becomes angry when she wants to leave with Cam (whom she just met) at a party, even giving Cam such an (unseen, but implied) intimidating look that it left him instantly and visibly nervous. Another account is when he becomes outraged upon hearing that Jeremiah cheated on Belly, since he thought he would treat her right, and literally “sees red” in the height of his anger and leaves in order to calm down. While the majority of readers were happy that the series concluded with Belly and Conrad happily married and together, most of the readers were upset that they did not get to actually see Belly and Conrad’s reunion or significant romantic moments together. For example, some were upset they did not get to see the couple’s first kiss after being apart for so long or Conrad’s marriage proposal to Belly. A major symbol of their relationship is infinity. Conrad had explained the concept of infinity to Belly when she was younger, which she never forgot about. During The Summer I Turned Pretty, Conrad decides to buy Belly an infinity necklace for her sixteenth birthday. However, at the last moment, he suddenly became too scared to give it to her and claimed that he forgot about her birthday. In It’s Not Summer Without You, Belly discovers his gift and, knowing that it was meant for her, takes the necklace and secretly wears it throughout the novel. When Conrad later discovers this, Belly claims to not know the meaning of it, even though they both know that she does. She reluctantly gives it back to him. Two years later in We’ll Always Have Summer, Conrad gives the necklace back to Belly and confesses that he bought it for her sixteenth birthday, but was too nervous to actually give it to her. He then says that it always belonged to her and always will, implying he has always loved her and always will. In Jeremiah’s perspective during It’s Not Summer Without You when he recalls the time he fell for Belly during the early events of The Summer I Turned Pretty, it possibly showed the first time Conrad actually “checked out” Belly. When the trio were outside the house hanging out, Belly said she was going to get a pop from the house. Jeremiah saw how Conrad was noticeably checking her out for the first time as she walked away from them. This left him upset since he thought it was unfair of Conrad to suddenly take an interest in Belly despite her well-known crush on him for years. In bonus content of the We’ll Always Have Summer paperback edition, it is revealed that an embarrassing yet heartwarming family photo Susannah took of Conrad and Jeremiah in Christmas-themed sweaters as children is the main framed photo in Conrad and Belly’s living room following their marriage. They both enjoy older, classical films such as Casablanca, However, they both shared different opinions on the ending. Conrad believed it to have a happy ending, reasoning that Ilsa was better off with Laszlo. However, Belly believed Ilsa and Rick should have been together due to their love for one another. This, ironically, mirrored their own love triangle with Jeremiah. Conrad, despite his and Belly’s love for each other, pushed her to be with Jeremiah as he felt she was better off with his brother. It is implied that Conrad still thought of Belly as “his girl” even after their break up in books two and three, as he refers to her as such. In It’s Not Summer Without You, when Mr. Fisher’s real estate agent asks who Belly is upon meeting her, Conrad introduces her as his girlfriend despite no longer dating her. Later, in We’ll Always Have Summer, during his narrative when thinking over Jeremiah’s engagement to Belly, he angrily thinks about how his brother was marrying “his girl” and how he feels he is being forced to simply watch it happen. When they were kids, Belly believed everything Conrad told her. For example, Belly had refused to eat carrots until Conrad told her if she ate enough she would get X-ray vision.

Does Jeremiah kiss Belly?

Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno break down what this means for the central love triangle. The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 – First Look Lola Tung (Belly), Christopher Briney (Conrad) Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, episode 7, “Love Affair.” Belly (Lola Tung) finally made her choice between the Fisher brothers on The Summer I Turned Pretty — and that choice didn’t stay secret for long.

In this week’s episode, “Love Affair,” Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) comforted Belly after her mother Laurel (Jackie Chung) slapped her the morning after their house party got out of hand. In that moment, Belly realized that Jeremiah’s always been there for her, and decided that there’s nothing left between her and Conrad (Christopher Briney) — despite Jeremiah claiming that there would always be something between her and his big brother.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2, Episode 4 Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno | Credit: Erika Doss/Prime Video While Belly was figuring out where her heart lay, she and Jeremiah stayed up all night with Conrad to help him study for his last final. They road tripped together to make sure Conrad got to his exam on time, and while he took the test, Belly and Jeremiah spent a romantic day together exploring Finch College, and things eventually heated up in a steamy make out session.

Their timing couldn’t have been worse though, as Conrad finished his final and reunited with them as they’re furiously hooking up in front of the car. Awkward! “I was sad for Conrad, but I was very happy that Belly was able to finally have this moment in her journey with Jeremiah where they talk about everything that’s happened and and how their relationship has changed, even just over this week that they’ve been reunited,” Tung tells EW.

“I was grateful that they were able to take that step because it’s what both of them wanted in that moment, and they needed to be able to lean on each other.” Tung doesn’t blame Belly for Conrad’s devastation, because she points out how Belly tried to have a serious conversation with him about their relationship earlier in the episode — she hadn’t realized he had fallen asleep, but still, points for trying.

• I think that’s one thing that Belly had trouble with with Conrad, the communication aspect of it, so she feels safer and more heard in this relationship with Jeremiah,” Tung adds.
• For her, it was a win.
• Obviously seeing Conrad shocked was like, ‘Aw, sorry you were in the dark about this, buddy.’ But I think it was a good Belly-Jeremiah moment.” Casalegno remembers reading the final scene of the episode during the table read and couldn’t get over how it ends.

“I think I literally said, ‘Mic drop,'” he tells EW with a laugh. “I was like, ‘Oh, snap! Good luck with that. That’s going to be fun.’ I knew on paper it was going to be just a wonderful scene, and then doing it was something completely different. It was fun.” While Briney’s character ends the episode absolutely shell-shocked at seeing Belly and Jeremiah making out, the actor behind Conrad has nothing but love for how this changes everything for the central love triangle heading into the last episode of the season.

1. It’s such a big moment within the story and the arc of the season and for these characters,” Briney says.
2. It’s pretty massive.
3. It was a tricky one to approach through the character because you’re like, ‘How is he going to react to this?’ He can be sort of unpredictable.
4. Is he going to lose his s-? Is he going to lose his mind? What is he going to do? This could go so many different ways.” Briney pauses before adding this finale tease: “The answer is: Revert to old habits.” These interviews were conducted prior to the start of the SAG-AFTRA strike,

Why did Belly kiss Jeremiah

Overview – Belly and Jeremiah are childhood best friends. They have known each other since they were children, with Belly visiting Cousins Beach each Summer. He knew of her not-so-secret crush on his brother Conrad, but kept things light-hearted between them. They developed a secret wall knock to signal when the other was still awake at night.

• She fell in love with swimming so they would swim in the beach together on the first day of her arrival each year.
• Jeremiah was surprised at her transformation during the Summer of her sixteenth birthday, and they instantly fell into a rhythm, though he sought to shield her from the boys antics of partying.

When he realized she wanted to be out and grow, he supported her decisions. He thought her being a deb was odd but supported it, even walking her to classes and lightening up the rehearsals. He became her drivers ed teacher for the summer, giving her a good luck charm for her driver’s test. Their friendship exuded such an energy that Cam asked her if something was going on between the two, though she instantly corrected that he must have meant Conrad, but he was certain that Jeremiah was the one he questioned. She shot it down as the pair were just friends, and Jeremiah flirted with everyone.

1. On the Fourth of July, Jeremiah watched Conrad and Belly nearly kiss on the dock, but sent off a firework to stop the interaction.
2. He lied the next day that he didn’t know they were out there.
3. When things between the two ended, Jeremiah expressed sympathy for Belly, who admitted it was for the best.
4. He joined her in the pool for a late night swim and confessed that she’s his best friend but there were times he wanted it to be more, but there was always Conrad.

This Summer it was Cam and he was just waiting for her. He asks if she could ever feel the same way, and she admitted she could. They shared a kiss in the pool. Belly’s friend Taylor also rooted for her and Jeremiah, believing he was the best choice for Belly, instead of the ever-moody Conrad.

She even nicknamed the pair ” Jelly “. At the annual volleyball charity competition, Taylor faked an injury so Jeremiah could sub in for her. The pair played well together, and came up with a handshake, though Jeremiah wasn’t skilled enough to carry the game to win. She instead subbed him out for Conrad, who ultimately helped her win, sidelining Jeremiah.

Belly confessed to Taylor that she struggled to jump into a relationship with Jeremiah if a part of her heart still beat for his brother. The girls went skinny dipping one night when Nicole saw a text from Conrad to Belly. He wanted to be her escort the dance, and not just because his mom asked him too.

• This conflicts with Conrad’s growing relationship with Nicole, who assumed they would be going together.
• The girls stole Taylor and Belly’s clothes and left them naked in the water.
• Belly eventually called Jeremiah for help, and both brothers arrived, having heard about the situation from Nicole.
• Belly went home with Jeremiah and apologized for kicking him out of the competition, but he understood as it was for charity.

He heard Conrad was taking her to the ball but she corrected that he wasn’t. She then asked him to the deb ball and he happily agreed, despite his general disliking for fancy events. They made out in his car with some light fondling. The day of the deb ball, Susannah chuckled over the irony of Jeremiah taking her, but conceded that both of her boys would do anything for Belly. Meanwhile, Steven learned of the pair low-key dating and lashed out at Belly who was firm in her choices.

He later reprimanded Jeremiah who insisted that he is serious about Belly and hadn’t flirted with anyone since she became available. At the dance, Belly happily made her introduction with Jeremiah and watched him gleefully in the escort dance. However, Jeremiah had become suspicious of his mom throughout the Summer and stole her phone to confirm his greatest fear – she had cancer.

He spent the dance outside crying at the realization and her refusal of treatment. Belly, now alone on the dance floor without an escort, was saved at the last minute by Conrad who swept her away in the waltz. Jeremiah returned to watch them dance and pretended that he had been sick, but when he learned Conrad already knew of Susannah’s diagnosis, they two fought on the dance floor.

Will there be a season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty?

It’s good news, Summer I Turned Pretty fans. The Prime Video drama is returning for season 3, which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one given the mammoth success of the series and the fact that it’s based on a book trilogy.

Did Conrad really love Belly?

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3: what will happen with Belly, Jeremiah & Conrad? – Yes, there will be Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, and it will be the last one, reflecting the book trilogy written by Jenny Han. Season 3 will probably come around the summer of 2024 and will be based on the third and last book of the trilogy, We’ll Always Have Summer, published in 2011.

In The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, we will discover who Belly will end up with: Jeremiah or Conrad? The way the plot has evolved in the first two seasons has shown us how Jeremiah and Conrad love Belly differently. Jeremiah is the boy who seems more able to take care of Belly: his love for her is constant, intense, always present.

He knows he loves her; he wants to dedicate himself to her fully. Conrad, on the other side, is a more complicated character. He loves Belly, too; his love is authentic, but when life gets troubled, he shuts the door in front of everybody and focuses on himself.

1. This has hurt Belly in the past, which is why at the end of Season 2, Belly chooses to be with Jeremiah instead of Conrad.
2. Both in the series and in real life, there is a team Conrad and a team Jeremiah (it’s also a popular poll viral on the Internet).
3. Who should Belly end up with, Jeremiah or Conrad? We can safely say there isn’t a correct answer today.

Both loves are real so far. Both boys care about Belly, respect her, and want the best for her. They are both truly in love; no one can be considered a toxic guy. Belly has been in love with Conrad for her whole childhood, before “turning pretty” when she was 16.

The summer we see in the first season, both Jeremiah and Conrad start seeing Belly as a young woman, developing romantic feelings for her. What Jeremiah repeats many times over The Summer I Turned Pretty is true: there will always be something between Belly and Conrad. Conrad fascinates Belly precisely because of his troubled character.

Interacting with a personality like Conrad, certainly more complex than Jeremiah, becomes a challenge, a puzzle for Belly. Therefore, emotions are stronger: the love between Belly and Conrad results from an effort made because they really want it. On the other hand, the way Belly and Jeremiah love each other represents safety: they both know that the day they choose each other, it can really work easily.

1. At least, this is what we know until the ending of Season 2.
2. Will it be the “safe” love Belly feels for Jeremiah or the emotional rollercoaster that Conrad offers? What shall we expect with Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3? We won’t reveal any spoilers here, but we can anticipate for you that there will be many surprises.

If Season 3 reflects the books, we will finally see what Belly will choose, until the wedding, which will happen many years later (Season 3 is already set 2 years after Season 2). The main characters’ personalities will change, so at some point, the right choice will be clearer.

But it won’t be an easy one. We suggest you patiently wait for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 and discover what will happen with Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad through the future episodes. However, if you really can’t wait and want to know right now what happens in the ending, you can discover it by the book characters’ description on the Wikipedia page dedicated to the trilogy,

Why was Conrad so sad?

Conrad is eighteen and about to enter college. He has always been moody compared to his much livelier younger brother, but during the summer when the novel is set, Conrad becomes particularly withdrawn. In the time since Belly last saw Conrad, he quit the football team at school, broke up with his girlfriend, and started smoking.

• Playing guitar is one of Conrad’s few hobbies, and it is another indication of his solitary, thoughtful nature.
• His traits and behavior suggest that Conrad is the stereotypical teenage “bad boy”, but his withdrawn nature also hints at vulnerability that he’s hiding from others.
• As the story progresses, the reader learns that Conrad is aware that his mother’s condition has grown worse and realizes the family will likely lose her soon.

Much of what appears to be bad behavior is actually evidence of his emotional turmoil. Instead of sharing his feelings with others, he withdraws into himself. Conrad idolizes his father. As a result, he is particularly hard hit by the news that his parents are separating.

Is Conrad emotionally unavailable

It’s always “Team Conrad” or “Team Jeremiah,” but never “Team Therapy” In case you haven’t heard, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” was the show of the summer. Originally based on the titular book series by Jenny Han, the Prime Video series features a perfect East Coast summer filled with beach nights, parties and summer flings.

I was excited to watch this show and revive my happy summer days. But rather than experiencing hot pool days, sunsets, and night swims, all I saw was codependency, romanticized toxicity, manipulation and disturbing age gaps. As aesthetically pleasing and dreamy as the show came off, I couldn’t look past the characters’ poor qualities.

I was shocked at how viewers who love the show missed these toxic characteristics. Here are several reasons that make “The Summer I Turned Pretty” problematic. Belly and Conrad’s age gap was disturbing In what world is a romantic relationship between a college student and a minor legal? It’s concerning when a college student plans to attend a high school prom.

• Even worse was how many characters within the show encouraged Belly and Conrad’s relationship despite the significant age gap.
• Their toxic relationship already raised several red flags, but this inappropriate age gap was the last straw.
• True love shouldn’t hurt If you truly love someone, wouldn’t you do anything in your power not to hurt them? If Conrad loved Belly in the way he claimed he did, then why does he put her through so much emotional distress and manipulation? Conrad is not concerned with how his actions affect Belly — he constantly leads her on, purposely distances himself and fails to commit.

If Conrad truly loved Belly, he would be honest with himself and recognize that he cannot meet her expectations and emotional needs. Perhaps he wants her around to feel a sense of belonging, but as the famous phrase goes: if you love someone, let them go — especially if you can’t be the person they need you to be.

• It romanticizes toxic relationships If I had watched this show at 15, it would be the only thing I would ever talk about.
• The all-consuming love and a hot older boyfriend whom everyone else is also obsessed with.
• Why are Belly and Conrad so infatuated with each other? The show portrays the pair as destined to be together, but their star-crossed love doesn’t make sense — how could two people with such incompatible personalities be in love? Belly is naturally awkward and Conrad is a closed-off egomaniac who acts on his selfish impulses.

Conrad also struggled with mental health as he dealt with his mother’s cancer relapse, a negligent father and a breakup, all of which made him closed-off and emotionally unavailable. Since Belly saw Conrad as extremely unattainable, she wanted him to fulfill a childhood fantasy and prove she was worthy of his attention.

1. Meanwhile, Conrad’s desire to be with Belly stemmed from experiencing so much loss, that he craved familiarity and stability from someone who’s always been around.
2. Their relationship was never about love, but rather about filling an emotional void.
3. Yet, the internet continues to romanticize their toxic relationship as one founded on true love, setting a poor standard for young viewers on what healthy relationships should look like.

Teenage audiences may lack the critical thinking skills to notice the toxic behavior represented in the show, thereby damaging their perception of normal, healthy relationships. Some may see “The Summer I Turned Pretty” as the perfect summer filled with warm summer nights, parties and teenage dreams, but it actually sets the scene for a cold and lonely winter.
