But for whom I’m sadder is Susannah: she’s an amazing character in the tv show, full of brightness and warmth; she’s the mother or aunt we all want and here… she just wasn’t.

Conrad is obviously the better choice, but honestly, why would anyone like Belly? I'm confused on how these two guys are fighting over this fifteen year old child who can't take a joke. anyways, I think no one has chemistry with anyone. Conrad and Belly have much more chemistry than Jeremy and Belly but not much more and it annoys me to no ends. If you're gonna have a love triangle, at least make it complicated or make it so that there's chemistry with everyone. Surrounded by Laurel's friend Susannah ( Rachel Blanchard) , her sons, Jeremiah ( Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad ( Christopher Briney) , and another teen named Cam ( David Iacono), Belly suddenly finds herself in an emotional love story she never saw coming. The basic plot of The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy (also knows as “TSITP books”) is that young Isabel “Belly” Conklin and her family (including her mother, Laurel, and older brother, Steven) spend each Summer at the family home of her mother’s best friend, Susannah, along with Susannah’s sons, Conrad and Jeremiah, in the fictional Cousins Beach. The story follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin, who is about to turn sixteen, as she and her family reunite with Susannah Fisher and her two sons, Jeremiah and Conrad (the latter of which Belly has had a crush on since she was ten).When Conrad shows up at her graduation, they become a couple again.

And she complained about EVERYTHING, that the boys wouldn't play with her, that the boys weren't paying her attention, that her bestfriend was getting more attention than her, yadda yadda...

The main issue with her character is that she was always contradictory. It was so obvious that it had always been Conrad who she liked, but what did she do? Flirt with everyone else to make him jealous? To make things worse, she tried to justify it by convincing HERSELF she did not like him. In The Summer I Turned Pretty, Belly believes everything magical happens in the Summer, which she spends at the Cousins Beach home of her mother’s best friend, Susannah.But this year something is different.
