The Summer I Turned Pretty
I want to make it very clear that I’m only talking about season one when I call this a comfort show. Season two was not a hit with me but that’s because I’m very anti Jeremiah. Team Conrad all the way. I don’t know how you could be team Jeremiah if you’ve read the books, he sucks. When I watched the first season I hadn’t read the books. I think if I had, I wouldn’t like it as much. I don’t mind the Belly-Jeremiah nonsense in the first season because I know it will be always be Conrad for Belly. But after how much they’ve changed the story from the books, I’m worried about the ending.
I’ve seen the first season twice now and I already want to watch it again. I can’t even explain why I love this show so much, there’s something very cosy about it, which is unusual for me to say about a summery show. I’m more of an autumnal comfort kind of person.
There is something about first love that is so wonderful to watch. I’m still with the first boy I fell in love with so it mades me all warm and fuzzy inside. I’m a romantic if you couldn’t tell from how many romance films and TV shows I have and will talk about in this series.
You know I like a show when I’ve already done a re-watch of it despite it being so new. These were my favourite reviews to write. Check them out here.
Synopsis: Set in the fictional Cousins Beach, the series revolves around a teenage girl named Belly who grew up spending her summers at her family friends’ beach house. However, things completely change for her as she finds herself in the middle of a love triangle with two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah.
