“The Summer I Turned Pretty” isn’t just a show about a love triangle, and it isn’t just about Conrad vs. Jeremiah – the show is an important representation of a girl’s journey of self-discovery as she deals with all the tribulations that come with growing up. In interviews, when asked whether she was team Conrad or team Jeremiah, Lola Tung (the actress who plays Belly) consistently answered that she was “team Belly.” I think this answer – the idea that Belly could (and maybe should) choose herself – is a breath of fresh air. After all, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” is a story about Belly, a person in her own right who doesn’t exist only in relation to Conrad or Jeremiah. Belly spent her whole life pining after Conrad, dating Conrad, dating Jeremiah, and almost marrying Jeremiah. However, these too are completely overshadowed by Belly’s relationships with Conrad and Jeremiah – but are they really more important?
