'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3: All the Differences Between the Book & Show
'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3: All the Differences Between the Book & Show originally appeared on Parade. The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 premiered on July 16, marking the beginning of the end of the beloved Prime Video series. But what are the differences between the book and the show? Let's take a closer longtime fans of the love-triangle-summer-romance story already know, the show is based on the trilogy written by Jenny Han. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 It follows a young woman named Belly Conklin () who finds herself in a love triangle with two brothers, Jeremiah Fisher () and Conrad Fisher (). 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 1 included major changes to the book. Season 1 added big plot points to the tale—including an involved debutante ball storyline, a volleyball tournament, a character named Shayla (), who becomes Steven's love interest, and the fact that Jeremiah is sexually fluid. 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 2 brought more deviations from the book. In Season 2, the show added the characters Skye (Elsie Fisher) and Aunt Julia (Kyra Sedgwick), Jeremiah and Conrad's cousin and aunt, respectively, making them a major plot point in the summer house going up for sale in Cousins. It also incorporated way more of Steven () and Taylor () in the story, along with bringing back Cam Cameron () when he didn't return in the second book at all. Taylor's boyfriend, Davis, in the books was changed to Milo (Will Spencer) in the show, too, among other differences. Additionally, Season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty suggested that Belly and Conrad had sex at the summer house during their winter visit, when in the book, they did not. 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3: Differences between the book and show continue. For Season 3, the show made similar tweaks to the storyline to make the story better adapted for the screen. Here's an episode-by-episode breakdown. Season 3, Episode 1 Steven helped drop off Belly at college when he didn't in the book. The main plot of the story takes place during the summer before Belly's senior year of college; in the book, Belly was 19. Jeremiah doesn't have a summer internship in Boston (it starts in the fall). The episode implies that sex is part of Belly and Jeremiah's relationship, but it isn't in the book. Viewers learn that Belly was forced to quit playing volleyball due to an injury, which led to her sports psychology major. Steven works for Jeremiah and Conrad's dad, Adam (Tom Everett Scott), at his bank firm, where viewers meet his boss, a new character named Denise (Yvonne Valadez). Taylor is dating Davis (Harrison Cone) but hooking up with Steven. Meanwhile, Steven is cheating on a girl named Mia to be with Taylor. Belly decides to study abroad in Paris during her senior year. Jeremiah finds out he's not actually graduating and needs to take more courses in the fall. Conrad gets a summer clinic job and says he can't make it to the dedication for Susannah (Rachel Blanchard). Belly, Jeremiah and Taylor attend Finals Freakout, an end-of-the-year party/competition; that event didn't exist in the book. Season 3, Episode 2 Jeremiah's frat buddy Redbird (Tanner Zagarino) gives him sound relationship advice. Belly's mom, Laurel (Jackie Chung), attends a literary conference, where she runs into Belly's dad, John (Colin Ferguson) and they reminisce about their early relationship. They end up sleeping together at a hotel. Steven breaks up with Mia and tells Taylor he loves her while driving—but she gets mad, storms out of the car in the middle of the road, and then Steven gets into a car accident. Taylor confesses her love for Steven while he's unconscious at the hospital and decides to break up with Davis. But when he finally wakes up, Steven admits that they "don't work" together. Conrad gets fired from his summer clinic job after mislabeling something. Conrad texts Belly for an update on Steven, the first time he had done so in a long time. Jeremiah proposes to Belly outside of the hospital. The first two episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 dropped at 3 a.m. ET on Prime Video. A new episode will be added weekly until the series finale on Sept. 17.

Why are women over 30 hooked on teenage TV dramas?
In recent weeks, I've spent an unprecedented amount of time thinking about two teenage boys and the various merits of dating each. Before you call the police, let me explain. I've become completely addicted to The Summer I Turned Pretty, a television show based on Jenny Han's Young Adult novels of the same name, which has a love triangle between a 15-year-old girl, Belly Conklin, and two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, at its heart. First released on Amazon Prime in 2022, the show has attracted a passionate and vocal fanbase, a large proportion of which, if Reddit forums and anecdotal evidence are to be believed, is over the age of 30 – like me. 'I started watching the show from the very first season and have been hooked on it ever since,' shares Rebecca Newham, a 43-year-old fashion stylist. 'I haven't read the books but as soon as I saw the trailer I knew it would be a show that I would enjoy.' Isla Heller, a 41-year-old copy editor, is also a fan. 'It's got it all! Love triangles, brooding youths, long hot summers, sexual awakenings, country club politics… what's not to love?' The phenomenon of older women enjoying teen dramas right now is far from unique to TSITP either, with others waxing lyrical about Ginny and Georgia, a Netflix series following a single mother and her teenage daughter; or XO Kitty, a Korean dating drama set in a high school. Personally, I've spent a lot of time questioning why I'm enjoying a TV series about people two decades younger than me. Is this a sign of an imminent mid-life crisis? Perhaps not. According to Dana Moinian, psychotherapist at The Soke, our thirties and forties often feel like times of great change, much like our teenage years, so there's a resonance there. 'The appeal to women in their thirties and beyond is rooted in both emotional resonance and psychological projection,' she explains. 'The narratives often explore identity formation, social belonging and relational intensity – core developmental themes that, while prominent in adolescence, continue to echo throughout adulthood. 'For women in mid-life, watching teen dramas can offer a form of emotional revisitation, where unresolved experiences or unarticulated feelings from adolescence can be symbolically processed through the safety of fictional characters. Additionally, these shows tend to emphasise heightened emotional clarity, which may be particularly appealing amid the often ambiguous, emotionally muted realities of adult life.' It's also undeniably nostalgic for those of a certain generation; TSITP is ostensibly set during the period in which I 'came of age' (ish). 'Nostalgia has a well-documented psychological function: it supports emotional regulation, self-continuity and resilience during periods of stress or change,' explains Moinian. 'For many adult women, especially those navigating transitional phases – career shifts, caregiving roles or identity renegotiation – nostalgic content can offer a stabilising effect. Teen dramas may not precisely mirror the viewer's past, but they often evoke sensory and emotional cues – for example, fashion, music, interpersonal dynamics – that activate autobiographical memory systems. This can foster a comforting sense of connection to an earlier, perhaps more exploratory, phase of life.' For stylist Newham, the retro fashion also appeals. 'I love the nostalgia of it in both the storyline and the fashion. I love the nods to the early '00s fashion, which includes baby tees and denim shorts. This shows the revival in Y2K fashion and how relevant it still is.' While for me, it's the music: having a first dance at the prom to 'Mayonnaise' by Smashing Pumpkins took me immediately back to the halcyon days of my late teens. Unlike many of the teen dramas from our youth, a lot of these shows also feature more people of colour, with Belly in TSITP being biracial white and Asian American. It's something that writer Isabella Silvers (31) likes in particular. 'I love shows that focus on women and girls of colour,' she says. 'As someone who writes about being mixed-race, I'm always drawn to shows with characters and storylines that represent and explore that. They also explore other topics, like mental health, eating disorders, self-harm, bullying, queerness and so much more in non-patronising ways.' Indeed, it's also refreshing that TSITP also has a strong storyline for the parent characters too, in a way that wasn't necessarily true of the original noughties teen shows like Dawson's Creek or Gossip Girl – especially as many of the viewers are closer in age to the mums than the kids themselves. Belly's mum Laurel and the Fisher boys' mother Susannah are both sassy, fun, headstrong and intelligent – but they also get high and make out with strangers in bars, despite the fact they are in their forties. For me, as a single parent, too, it's comforting to see. Teen dramas undoubtedly allow most of us to reflect on a less complicated time in our lives – and don't require us to think too much, either, unlike the majority of prestige television made today. 'I love it because being an adult with all its complexities is hard, and to have a little window into a simpler time – 'Which brother should I snog?' – is light relief,' says Heller. At the same time, it's also not exploitative, like some reality TV can feel – so there's no need to feel guilty at someone else's expense. Far from being brain rot, there are scientific benefits from indulging in these so-called 'guilty pleasure' TV shows, too. 'In clinical practice, we see increasing signs of cognitive overload and performance fatigue, particularly among high-functioning adults,' says Moinian. 'The constant pressure to 'optimise' time can lead to chronic stress, diminished creativity and emotional depletion. Watching television that allows for low cognitive load – such as teen dramas – can serve as a form of passive restoration. This type of viewing supports downregulation of the nervous system, facilitating psychological recovery. Importantly, it also counters the perfectionistic mindset that leisure must be productive, which is itself a source of distress for many individuals.' If you haven't selected your teen drama of choice yet, now's the time.

Who Does Belly End Up With in The Summer I Turned Pretty? Season 3 Isn't ‘Exactly the Same'
Since viewers fell in love with the Conklin and Fisher families, fans have had one question: Who does Belly end up with in The Summer I Turned Pretty between Conrad and Jeremiah? The ending may not be 'exactly the same' as the books. The Summer I Turned Pretty is a coming-of-age romantic drama series based on author Jenny Han's book series of the same name. Han, who also wrote the To All the Boys book series which inspired Netflix's movies of the same title, is also the creator and an executive producer on The Summer I Turned Pretty series. The Summer I Turned Pretty follows Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, the series' narrator and protagonist, and her love triangle with brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, the sons of Belly's mother Laurel Park's best friend Susannah Fisher. More from StyleCaster The Summer I Turned Pretty Author Jenny Han Revealed the Real Reason She Changed Belly's Ethnicity in the Show The Major Way The Summer I Turned Pretty TV Show Changed Jeremiah & Belly's Cheating Storyline From the Books Watch The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 $8.99+ Buy Now In an interview with Cosmopolitan in 2023, Lola Tung, who plays Belly, confirmed that she's Team Belly when it comes to her love triangle with Conrad and Jeremiah. 'I am very firmly Team Belly. Yeah, I'm along for the ride. I'm here for the journey, for her journey, and for what she ultimately decides based on where her heart is taking her,' she said. While Tung may be Team Belly, that doesn't mean that viewers don't have a side. So… who does Belly end up with on The Summer I Turned Pretty between Conrad and Jeremiah? See who Belly ends up with in The Summer I Turned Pretty books and if it could be different in the TV show. Who does Belly end up with in The Summer I Turned Pretty books? The answer is Conrad. In Jenny Han's third Summer I Turned Pretty book, We'll Always Have Summer, Belly ends up with Conrad after she breaks up with Jeremy and reconnects with Conrad as an adult. The book starts with Belly and Jeremiah dating two years into their relationship. Their relationship starts to crack, however, when Belly becomes jealous of Lacie, a girl at Jeremiah's fraternity's sister sorority. Belly's fears are confirmed when she overhears Lacie saying that she had sex with Jeremiah during spring break, which Jeremiah confesses to. Belly slaps Jeremiah and breaks up with him. Belly remembers how she and Jeremiah got into a fight before spring break and broke up. While Belly saw the breakup as only temporary, Jeremiah interpreted it as something more permanent, which is why he had sex with Lacie. Belly, for her part, didn't see it the same way and interpreted Jeremiah's actions as cheating. Belly and Jeremiah's breakup makes her think of Conrad, and she remembers how, six months earlier, she drove down to the Fisher's beach house, where she ran into Conrad and the two reconnected. Belly never told Jeremiah about seeing Conrad, as the day made her realize that, even after years of dating Jeremiah, she was still in love with Conrad. Days after their breakup, Belly and Jeremiah talk, and Jeremiah proposes to Belly, telling him that she's the only one for him and he won't risk losing her again. Belly says yes to Jeremiah proposal, even though she still has feelings for Conrad. As Belly stays at the Fishers' beach house while wedding planning, she reconnects with Conrad, who is also staying at the house. Conrad agrees to help Belly with wedding preparations, which makes Jeremiah jealous. At Jeremiah's bachelor party, Conrad overhears Jeremiah's friends talking about how he had sex with Lacie during spring break, which angers Conrad, thinking that he was faithful to Belly. Conrad tells Belly that Jeremiah cheated on her, and Belly responds by telling him that she already knew. Conrad then confesses his love to Belly, which only angers Belly as he's confessing his feelings two years too late. Conrad explains that he broke up with Belly because he felt like he didn't deserve to love anyone after his mother Susannah's death and estranged himself from her, so she could be with Jeremiah thinking that his brother would treat her well. Conrad asks Belly to cancel her wedding to Jeremiah and be with him, but she tells him no. The day before her wedding, Belly tells Jeremiah about what Conrad told her, as Jeremiah realizes that Belly still loves Conrad too and may only be marrying him to get over his brother. On the morning of their wedding, Belly learns that Jeremiah has gone missing and that Conrad went looking for him. When Conrad finds Jeremiah, they get into a fight, which escalates to Jeremiah punching Conrad. Jeremiah agrees to return to the wedding, but tells Conrad that he never wants to see him again. When Jeremiah returns to the wedding, Belly tells him that she's disappointed by him not wanting to discuss him running away before their wedding. Jeremiah admits that he isn't happy in his relationship with Belly because part of her was always with Conrad. Jeremiah asks Belly if she still loves Conrad, and she says yes. They cancel their wedding and break up. The book then flashes forward a few years later as Belly is now 24 years old. She reveals that she a year abroad in Spain after breaking up with Jeremiah, where Conrad wrote her letters. The letters led Belly and Conrad to get back together and eventually marry. On their wedding day, Belly thinks of Susannah and all the dreams she had for Belly and her sons' futures. After their wedding, Belly and Conrad agree to skip the reception and drive to the ocean to play in the water like they did when they were younger. Will The Summer I Turned Pretty TV show end like the books? The answer is unclear. In an interview with Variety in 2022, The Summer I Turned Pretty book author Jenny Han, who also created the series, confirmed that the series isn't 'exactly the same' as the books so it is possible for Belly to end up with someone different in the show. 'It's a bit of a balancing act, because I really had to weigh what the fans are expecting with where the show is going creatively and find that balance,' she said. 'My priority has always been that I want fans of the book to feel really satisfied by the story we're telling, but also for them to know that this is an adaptation in a new medium, so it's not going to be exactly the same. I think those are sort of the two things that are always in my head.' Han also confirmed to Time in August 2023 that The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 will have some changes to the books. 'If you knew exactly what was going to happen, it wouldn't be a very satisfying show-watching experience,' Han said. 'Part of the enjoyment of watching TV or movies is that you don't know. I am always trying to preserve the audience experience—my aim is to surprise and delight and to give the fans the best possible story.' Han also explained the final scene of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 where Belly confronts the mistakes she's made throughout the series. 'I really wanted Belly to get to a place where she is the one in the driver's seat. The mistakes that she makes, the missteps and her stumbles, they're all her decisions and she's really owning it. That's really important, to give her that autonomy and that agency,' Han said. 'One of the big themes of the season is about shame and forgiving yourself. Throughout much of the season, she is really struggling with that, and to me it feels exciting to see her come out of it and move forward with purpose.' Han also explained why she had Belly and Jeremiah end up together at the end of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2. 'You really get to see Jeremiah's growth in that moment. He thinks that she's chosen Conrad when he walks up, and he's made his peace with that and still wants to be in her life,' Han said. 'They really love each other. They really are best friends—and now more.' She also explained to Variety why Belly and Jeremiah dated in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 1 after turning him down in the first book. 'That was kind of moved up in the first season. When I was doing Jeremiah's POV in the second book, I was very much swayed in all directions. I don't want to spoil too much but the books have been out for a while. You never know what could happen with the show. I was open minded going in to it. I was considering a lot of different possibilities,' she said. She also confirmed that she isn't team either character. 'I definitely had moments of going back and forth for sure, because I think in order to write these characters, you have to love them and you have to understand them and have empathy for them,' she said. 'So I had a lot of empathy for both of these brothers. And my heart would definitely turn just like Belly's would.' One change between The Summer I Turned Pretty series and book was Jeremiah's bisexuality, which is only seen in the TV series. 'I was looking at this adaptation and thinking, if I was to write this book today, how would I write these characters?' Han explained. 'They're all the same characters, but I think culture has moved in many ways and I think this younger generation is a lot more free about labels and more open minded and less on a binary. So I felt like for Jeremiah, it really made sense for him because I think he's a character that's very comfortable in his own skin and at ease with himself. I think it was it was a really natural choice to make.' Gavin Casalegno, who plays Jeremiah, also told Us Weekly in 2023 that there's a 'strong chance' the series ending could be different than the books. 'I do feel like there's a strong chance that that's a possibility,' he said. 'I try to keep it as real as possible in that regard. Obviously, I know where he ends up going and what ends up happening. But I don't emphasize … that. Because I think Jenny [Han] writes it so well that I'm able to kind of get there naturally without having to force it a certain direction. So even though I know where he is going, I try to play it day by day because that's all we can do. [We can] just live in the moment and make the most of our time right.'
