Season 3 of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is officially here.
The third and final season of the coming-of-age romantic television series, based on the popular book trilogy by bestselling author Jenny Han, made its debut on Amazon Prime Video on July 16, nearly two years after the Season 2 finale episode aired.
The show, which charts the ongoing love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung) and brother Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) over the course of multiple summers, will culminate in a decision that will forever change the trajectory of their lives.
This season, Belly is all grown up, having settled into a pretty comfortable life with Jeremiah, who she chose to be with at the end of last season, by her side. But first love Conrad and her feelings for him have a way of sneaking up on her when she least expects it.
Belly has a choice to make and with the release of each new episode, viewers are one step closer to learning which Fisher she'll end up with. You might be itching to know more about the actors who brought your favorite characters to life after the "TSITP" Season 3 premiere.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' to 'We Were Liars' — Canadian 'BookTok' expert on fandom of book-to-screen adaptions

While we're all still reeling from the first two episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 (particularly Team Conrad fans), the popularity of the show, along with others like We Were Liars and Culpables films, are part of the intensely successful book-to-screen adaptation trend. Working alongside the creation and release of these shows and movies is the "BookTok" boom, as fans of the on-screen stories go back to read the books, and vice versa. In Canada, Morgann Book went from gaining an online following as a teenager posting cake design videos from the Ontario Dairy Queen her parents own, to leaning into her love of reading by drawing book covers on cakes. And yes, her last name also happens to be "Book." Five years later, Book is among the most followed and trusted BookTok voices. So much so that you can see her at the one-day only free, immersive pop-up event in Toronto on July 19, part of Prime Video's Prime Book Club. "I think one thing I didn't do early on, and it was COVID so we couldn't, but I couldn't engage much with my audience in person," Book told Yahoo Canada. "I did a previous event with Prime Video back in December and that was one of the first times I had met a large number of my audience, ... my followers, friends, in person. And I'm still connecting with those people today." "I think it's really incredible to see the community that BookTok as a whole ... has just fostered because readers, we're introverts, but you get us talking about books, and it kind of just opens people up in a brand new way." How book fans evaluate screen adaptations For Book herself, even she finds inspiration in the larger BookTok community, including for her successful podcast, "Off The Shelf," diving into both novels and book-to-screen adaptations, part of her Bookish Media company. "I've really been inspired this year through authors and BookTokers that I've gotten to connect and meet with through my podcast," Book shared. "This is another year where I'm like, I love YA [young adult] and romance and romantacy, but ... I really want to branch out my reading taste this year, and I felt like that has kept me inspired." But when it comes to book-to-screen adaptations, many of the most recent hits have found their home on Prime Video. And what Book believes makes a great one is when there's "respect" for the source material, while also being crafted in a way that appeals to a new audience. "We Were Liars, for example, was published in 2014. I've known about this book for 11 years now ... and I think when the show finally came out they really did a good job at saying, yes this is a new show coming out, but they included specific lines of dialogue and scenes that connected the original audience to this new show," she said. "Certain lines, like there was a mention of Johnny not wearing sunscreen, and ... that immediately clicked as like, OK someone on this team read this book, knows what they're doing." With these adaptations also comes more BookTok content. In the case of The Summer I Turned Pretty, it reignites conversations like whether Belly should choose Conrad or Jeremiah. "I haven't seen a Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah feud since the whole Twilight thing, which was a very long time ago," Book said. "No one knows what's coming in Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, but those who have read the books know how the other books translated on screen, and can kind of hypothesize where Season 3 is going." Reflecting on her impressive career to date and that initial connection to social media, Book highlighted that her journey has allowed her to become more comfortable in her self, particularly in more public spaces. "The people who I grew up with and the person that I was growing up would not recognize who I am today," Book said. "I can be a shy person, but I think BookTok and content and social media and doing interviews like this and doing the podcast has allowed me to become, not even like an extrovert, but just comfortable in what I'm saying and what I'm speaking about." "I used to be a terrible public speaker. It made me so nauseous. And I think going to events and hosting all these things has just changed who I am inherently as a person, which I didn't even think was possible." But what's next on Book's reading list? In the spirit of The Summer I Turned Pretty reaching its last season, Book said she's planning on pickingThe Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther. "This is supposed to be like a really good YA summer romance," Book highlighted. "Then if you want something like a little bit spicier, Meghan Quinn also has really great summer rom-coms that I love." The Prime Book Club Toronto Pop-Up takes place July 19 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Mandy's at The Well. Activities include customizing your Kindle case, an on-site artist for a custom rendering of your ultimate book crush, and more.

Microsoft Quietly Pulls the Plug on Its Movies and TV Store

Microsoft abruptly shut down its online movie and TV store. On Friday, the tech giant quietly updated both its general and Xbox support pages to reflect the changes. Users will no longer be able to buy new content from and the Microsoft Store on Windows and Xbox. Thankfully, Microsoft says if you already own movies or shows through the store you can still watch them via the Movies & TV app on Xbox and Windows devices. Microsoft says technical support will also continue for issues with any previously purchased content, at least for now. Unfortunately, Microsoft says it is not providing any refunds or ways for users to transfer their libraries to other digital video services. However, U.S. users can link select titles to Movies Anywhere, a platform that consolidates digital purchases from participating retailers into a single library. Microsoft did not explain why it suddenly shuttered the service. A spokesperson told Gizmodo in an email that the company 'has nothing further to share at this time.' The move appears like a quiet retreat from digital video, as video streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video reign supreme. Microsoft's support page even directs users to use competing services. 'The Xbox and Windows stores have other entertainment services that offer the latest home entertainment releases. The following transactional services are available today: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, among others,' the company said. Xbox users posted on Reddit that they started receiving notifications about the change this morning. 'Microsoft Movies & TV will no longer offer movies or TV shows for purchase. You can continue watching your previously purchased and personal videos on Xbox. Thank you for being part of the Xbox community,' the notification said, according to a screenshot on Reddit. Some Reddit users also said that they saw this coming when they noticed the number of sale promotions on the store started to dwindle in recent months. Others are worried that the Movies & TV app will also eventually be shut down and that they may permanently lose their purchased videos. This isn't the first time Microsoft has backed out of digital media. It shut down its Zune music service in 2015, then closed its successor, Groove Music, in 2017, when it told users to move their playlists to Spotify.
