Listen to ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 Soundtrack, Right This Way
Spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 below. The third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is finally here, which means we get a whole new slate of episodes where the gorgeous Fisher brothers fawn over Belly Conklin. Except this time, they've traded their quaint Cousins Beach vacation home for college, and the stakes in their respective relationships have never been higher. As the whole crew—Belly, Jeremiah, Conrad, Steven, and Taylor—navigates their newfound adulthood amid shifting family dynamics and dating drama, it also means we have brand new scenes fit for some surprising needle drops. Yes, we're still thinking of all the incredible moments soundtracked by Taylor Swift tracks (there are 11 T. Swift songs so far, counting the season 3 premiere). And, of course, Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande are also regulars in the Jenny Han Cinematic Universe. Ahead, find all the songs featured in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 soundtrack so you don't miss a beat. Belly, Taylor, and the boys have officially made it to Finch College! Taylor and Belly's brother, Steven, have broken up but are still going the friends with benefits route while Belly and Jeremiah are fully in love, three years in. Jere finds out he's missing a few credits, which delays his graduation and upsets his dad, who has to spend another $20,000 in tuition. Meanwhile, Conrad is crushing it as he's accepted into Stanford's prestigious medical program with his new friend, Agnes. He reflects on his romance with Belly, while she's on the fence about spending another semester at Finch with Jere or studying abroad in Paris. At the end of the episode, she finds out that Jeremiah cheated on her with one of Taylor's sorority sisters, Lacie. Belly is down bad after learning that Jeremiah cheated on her with Lacie in Cabo. Like, so down bad that she won't even talk to her best friend, Taylor, who happens to be Lacie's sorority sister. (There are also some holiday-themed flashbacks between Belly and Conrad, hence the episode's title and Christmas music thrown in here.) As Belly changes her mind about studying abroad in Paris, Taylor gets into an argument with Steven that leads to him getting in a nearly fatal car crash. Jeremiah shows up for Belly before her parents can make it from their conference, and Conrad helps from his medical internship at Stanford. While Conrad loses the opportunity because of a mistake in the lab, Jeremiah and Belly patch things up as he proposes to her outside the hospital.

Beyond the fence: on reading the Bible in this secular age
How should we read the Bible in the 21st century, Graham Redding asks. For many people, the Bible is outdated, even dangerous — fuel for fundamentalism or a dusty relic of a bygone age. But for those still curious, or tentatively open, the question of how to approach such a text matters. And the metaphors we use to describe that approach matter even more. Consider four metaphors: the fence, the instruction manual, the cave, and the garden. Each offers a distinct picture of what the Bible is and how it might be used. The fence metaphor sees the Bible as a boundary-setter. It marks out who is in and who is out — doctrine as gate, morality as barbed wire. This is the Bible as rulebook or creed-enforcer, where certain interpretations are fenced in as "orthodox" and others left out in the theological cold. Fences provide security, yes, but they also restrict movement. The danger of this model is that it transforms the Bible into a tool of control, shutting down conversation and excluding those who ask difficult questions or arrive at uncomfortable conclusions. This approach is all too familiar in religious communities that have wielded the Bible as a weapon against women, LGBTQ+ people, or those who diverge from the party line. It is no wonder that many outside such communities want nothing to do with a text so frequently associated with misogyny and exclusion. Closely related is the instruction manual metaphor. Here the Bible is treated as a how-to guide for life: clear, concise, step-by-step. Want a better marriage? Proverbs has you covered. Struggling with grief? Turn to the Psalms. Need direction in life? Jeremiah 29:11 is the divine GPS. This metaphor appeals to a modern, utilitarian mindset. It assumes that the Bible offers clear answers to modern problems, if only we read it correctly. But the Bible isn't a single, tidy manual. It's a sprawling collection of stories, laws, poems, laments, and letters, written by dozens of authors over centuries. Much of it resists easy application. The instruction-manual metaphor flattens the complexity of Scripture, silencing voices of protest, ambiguity, and paradox. Taken together, the fence and manual metaphors foster a brittle kind of faith — one that cannot withstand the pressures of moral complexity or existential doubt. Enter the metaphor of the cave. Here, the Bible becomes a place of mystery and depth, an ancient cavern to be explored with curiosity and humility. Like explorers lowering themselves into a vast cave system, readers enter the text not to master it but to discover forgotten chambers of wisdom, veins of poetry, and inscriptions from past generations. This metaphor recognises the historical and literary complexity of the Bible. It allows for darkness and ambiguity. It honours the voices of lament and protest — Job's cry against unjust suffering, Ecclesiastes' bewildered musings on meaninglessness, Jesus' own cry of abandonment on the cross. In the cave, we do not find tidy answers. But we may encounter something more valuable: echoes of our own questions, whispered across time, calling us to a more authentic form of living. Finally, the garden metaphor. Here the Bible is less a site to be explored than a plot to be cultivated. We return to it again and again — not because it gives instant answers, but because it yields nourishment over time. In this metaphor we bring ourselves to the text — our experience, our questions, our wounds — and we let it work on us. Not every seed will sprout. Not every passage will bear fruit. But over time, with sun and rain and pruning, the garden grows. It may even surprise us with unexpected blossoms. This metaphor invites communal engagement. Gardens are meant to be shared. Biblical interpretation becomes not an individual act of mastery, but a communal practice of tending a garden together, learning from those who have gone before, and passing the harvest on to those who come after. Metaphors shape expectations. If we see the Bible as a fence, we will patrol it. If we see it as a manual, we will seek quick fixes. But if we approach it as a cave or a garden, we step into a different posture — one of openness, reverence, and transformation. For those who have been harmed by rigid interpretations of Scripture, or who see the Bible as irrelevant in a secular age, these alternative metaphors offer a way back in. Not to naive certainty or uncritical belief, but to a more human, more honest engagement with one of the world's most influential texts. So let us set down our fences. Let us put away our manuals. Let us take up our lanterns, and step into the cave. Let us roll up our sleeves and tend the garden. Who knows what we might find? Or what might grow. • Dr Graham Redding is the Douglas Goodfellow lecturer in chaplaincy studies at the University of Otago.

'A legacy of grace and talent': Hollywood mourns Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death at 54
Hollywood is mourning the death of beloved actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner best known for his breakout role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show. According to a law enforcement source who confirmed the news to Reuters, Warner drowned on Monday at the age of 54 while on holiday in Costa Rica with his family. Warner rose to fame in the 1980s as the only son in the Huxtable family in the groundbreaking NBC sitcom The Cosby Show. His role as Theo, the middle child in a family of five, became iconic and earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 1986. Over the decades, Warner built a diverse and respected career, with roles in Jeremiah, Sons of Anarchy, Suits, A Different World and The Resident. He hosted Saturday Night Live in 1986 and in 2015 won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for the song Jesus Children. Tributes have poured in from actors, artists and friends who were touched by Warner's talent and warmth. Bill Cosby, who played Warner's TV father, spoke fondly of his former co-star in an interview with ABC News on Monday. 'He knew how to walk away from any conversation without being rude. Malcolm did his best. He was a great studier,' said Cosby. 'I enjoyed working with him very much. He always knew his lines and he always knew where to go.' Comedian and actor Eddie Griffin, Warner's longtime friend and co-star from the popular late 90s sitcom Malcolm & Eddie, said he had learnt much from Warner. 'My heart is heavy today. I had the pleasure of going to war against the Hollywood machine and sometimes with each other because that's what brothers do but the love was and is always there. You've taught me so much and I thank you,' said Griffin. Actor Morris Chestnut, who worked with Warner on The Resident, shared: 'Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. He brought so much depth, warmth, and wisdom to every scene and every conversation. One of the nicest in the business. Rest easy, brother. Your legacy lives on.' TV personality and actress Sherri Shepherd, who worked closely with Warner, wrote on Facebook: 'I'm completely devastated. Malcolm remained one of the most-grounded people I've ever met in our business. To know Malcolm was to know a renaissance man that possessed humour, grace, humility and deep cultural appreciation. He was just a good guy ... He was a proud girl dad and loved his daughter so much.' R&B singer Kenny Lattimore echoed the heartbreak in a video he shared on Facebook. 'Gone far too soon. Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a legend, a legacy and a genuinely great man. Rest well, king,' said Lattimore. Actor and musician Tyrese Gibson expressed his grief in a poem posted on X. 'We lost more than an actor. We lost a presence. A gentle, regal, beautiful soul respected without ever demanding it,' said Gibson. Actress Queen Latifah, while paying tribute, also lamented how Warner's early work might remain inaccessible to younger audiences due to the controversy surrounding The Cosby Show. 'The saddest part about Malcolm-Jamal Warner's passing is that there's a whole generation that will never see his early acting brilliance on The Cosby Show because of what that terrible man did [a reference to the sexual assault allegations against Cosby which prompted several networks to cancel reruns of the show]. They won't be able to watch reruns or watch it on streaming to truly appreciate him,' said Latifah. Actress Angela Bassett, who recently worked with Warner on 9-1-1, reflected on their long friendship. 'Even in his youth, Malcolm's empathy, quiet strength and his bright light surrounded us all. His deep commitment to his craft left an impression on me that has never faded,' said Bassett. Actress Niecy Nash said: 'We just spoke. You were giving me my flowers for my work in Grotesquerie and we talked about how happy we both were in our marriages. Damn friend. You were the cornerstone of The Cosby Show. We all loved Theo! Never to be forgotten. You will be missed.'

'My world came crashing down': Woman shares grief after losing boyfriend to substance abuse, mental health struggles, Singapore News
She will never forget Chinese New Year of 2024, when her world came crashing down. Her boyfriend, who had a history of substance addiction, died unexpectedly — leaving her to pick up the pieces and face the trauma of losing the love of her life. Speaking to AsiaOne, the 33-year-old, who wished to be known only as Nelly, reflected on how an ordinary meeting with him turned out to be the last. According to Nelly, her late boyfriend, Jeremiah (not his real name), 30, was under immense stress as he tried to recover from substance abuse while also struggling to find a job after several failed attempts. "I knew he was under a lot of stress trying to find a job while working through his recovery. I felt really overwhelmed at times, but I still tried to be there for him whenever I finished work," she said, sharing that she is still coming to terms with losing someone she loved in an instant due to substance abuse. "He was experiencing depression due to the pressures of finding a job and other challenges in his life. I was really worried he would return to using drugs as a way to cope with the emotional strain," she added. During that period, Jeremiah was staying with his grandmother, as his relationship with his parents had grown distant due to his substance abuse issues. "His relationship with his parents was tense, but they still kept in regular contact with him," Nelly added. 'Most heartbreaking and difficult experience' Recounting the fateful day, Nelly said it was the "most heartbreaking and difficult experience" she has ever gone through, and she still thinks about him often. "It happened on the last day of Chinese New Year in 2024, in the evening. I was at home when I received a distress call from him," she recalled. She went to meet him, thinking it would be just like the other calls she'd received from him in the past. "When I arrived, everything seemed alright before the situation escalated, eventually involving the police. I didn't expect him to act so rashly, and seeing him take his own life just broke my heart. "I hope he knows that his actions have deeply affected the people who loved him the most," said Nelly. After the incident, Nelly found it extremely difficult to inform Jeremiah's parents, unsure of how to break the devastating news. But after doing so, they were understanding towards her. "My world came crashing down the moment he left. There were many times when I wondered, 'What if I had done more to help him? Maybe none of this would have happened,'" she said. [[nid:653463]] Following the tragedy, Nelly attended several counselling sessions as she battled guilt and grief. She now hopes to use her story to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and its deep impact on individuals and their loved ones. "I want people who are in similar shoes as Jeremiah to know that they are not alone. There are people ready to support you, along with support centres and lifelines available when you need someone to talk to — even if you wish to remain anonymous," she said. "I'm sharing my story so that others in similar situations know it's never too late to seek help — and to encourage them to think twice before acting impulsively, because even one small action can deeply affect the people who care about you." 'No signs of despair' Also accompanying Jeremiah during his most difficult times was his counsellor, Whitney Mah. Mah told AsiaOne that when she first met Jeremiah, he was already struggling with addiction among other issues. "When Jeremiah first came to me for counselling, it was for his addiction and personal struggles. Leading up to the incident, he showed no signs of despair," said the 36-year-old, who has been a counsellor for over eight years. According to Mah, Jeremiah had been attending counselling sessions at WeCare for about two years before the incident. Mah shared that even a seemingly functioning adult can become addicted, and its effects are often not immediately apparent. "Individuals who are struggling with addiction can be functioning adults — going through school, working, and some even excelling at what they do — while engaging in addictive behaviours," said Mah. Mah also pointed out that, after the tragedy, Nelly approached her to seek grief counselling and help in dealing with the trauma. "Witnessing such an incident involving a loved one can be traumatic, often accompanied by feelings of guilt and confusion while they try to find acceptance," said Mah. In 2024, a total of 314 suicide deaths were reported in Singapore, with the highest increase recorded among adults aged 30 to 39. According to data from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's Registration of Births and Deaths Report 2024, published in July, suicide remained the leading cause of death among youth aged 10 to 29 for the sixth consecutive year, The Straits Times reported. In 2024, The Samaritans of Singapore provided in-person counselling services and support groups to 1,112 individuals who struggled with suicide thoughts or attempts, as well as those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
