"The Summer I Turned Pretty" is a Netflix show based on a book series by Jenny Han. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is a trilogy book series that has now aired one season of the show. The second season of this show is scheduled to air on July 14 2023.
The series' main character is a 16-year-old girl named Isabel who goes by Belly. It’s set in the fictional town of Cousins Beach. Belly has been going to Cousins Beach every summer since she was a baby. But this summer is very different from the rest.
Belly gets caught in a love triangle between two brothers that have always been her best friends. When Belly arrives for the summer brothers Conrad and Jeremiah immediately notice the glow-up she has had. Conrad has always been the focus of Belly’s heart but she also feels a connection with Jeremiah that she never had before.
Lots happen during this summer at Cousins Beach that not only affect Belly but also her family and Conrad and Jeremiah’s family.
Belly experiences her first kiss and first heartbreak during this summer and will never be the same again.
Anyone who has watched this show has a strong opinion on who Belly should be with. People are either Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah. I for one am Team Jeremiah.
Fans are all anxiously awaiting the start of Season 2 to see who she will choose and what new drama will arise at Cousins Beach.
