'Binge-worthy' romantic drama tops Amazon Prime charts worldwide as fans 'can't get enough'
The Amazon Prime show has recently released its third season after winning an award for the 'Favourite Binge-worthy Show' in 2024.
Amazon Prime Video users can not get enough of one coming of age romance drama which has taken the streaming platform by storm after its weekly episode release has seen it top Amazon Charts worldwide. Based on Jenny Han's popular book series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, which returned for its third season last month, is described as a story 'about first love, first heartbreak and the magic of that one perfect summer'.
However, fans are being forced to patiently wait each Wednesday for a new episode with the sixth episode of series three being the latest to drop on Prime. Now more than halfway through the latest season which consists of 11 episodes, viewers are waiting in anticipation for the series finale which is set to air on September 17.
Starring Lola Tung as Belly Conklin, Christopher Briney as Conrad Fisher and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah, the show is about a love triangle between one girl and two brothers. The story unfolds at Cousins Beach where Belly and her mum have been going to vacation with family friend Susannah and her two sons, Jeremiah and Conrad for many summers.
Isabel (Belly), has a long-standing crush on Conrad but the summer she turns sixteen, she finds herself going through a lot of changes, both physical and mental, and lands herself in a love triangle with the two handsome brothers.
The show first premiered in 2022 with season 2 coming out in 2023 so fans have been waiting a good few years for the third season to be released.
And it appears that viewers can not get enough of the new episodes.
Taking to X to share their opinions on the show, one user dramatically confessed: "I think about The Summer I Turned Pretty way more religiously than I think about eating."
Another echoed: "Obsessed with The Summer I Turned Pretty."
A third gushed: "Ugh The Summer I Turned Pretty is such a cute show!!!!"
Someone else added: "I'm caught up on The Summer I Turned Pretty. Hello??? I need the next episode NOW."
The drama has divided the internet with many making comments about whether they are Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah.
One person wrote: "I'm Team Jeremiah forever !!"
While another disagreed: "On season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty and I was NEVER team Jeremiah. Screw that man, team Conrad forever!!"
Someone else added:" I've always been Team Jeremiah but ever since season 3 started it feels so wrong i think i was missing something the whole time."
Meanwhile, another user slammed them both as she said: "Team Jeremiah or Conrad? duh, I'm team Belly's getting a therapist."
Despite the online raving about the show, it does only score a 73% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, the drama did win a People's Choice Award for the public's 'Favourite Binge-worthy Show' in 2024.
The show is expected to be coming to an end when the final episode of season three airs in September with there only being three books in the novel series.
