I have never watched this show purely because the title gives me the ick.

greenlit a feature film**

my bad, this is what happens when you walk and type

if belly had gone to my school me and my friends would gossip about her every time we met up

jenny han singlehandedly keeping wasian actors booked and busy

Team Conrad and his slutty little watch for life 

Girlie event movies are back on the menu! If they give this a theatrical release I genuinely wonder what the box office will be.

Gotta give it to Jenny Han she knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats

Taylor Swift’s money laundering scheme continues 😂

3 seasons and a movie!

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

I can't take anymore hahahaha

The finale felt half baked and left some important moments from the end of the last book out. This makes sense to me.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 finale is here, and fans are not ready for the show to end. So, let's find out whether it's really the end or if there's something else coming for the fans.

The way I thought this was a fake fan trailer 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 oh my I cannot wait!!!!!!

Ugh I was actually so happy for belly seeing her be happy and have a new life until I heard Conrad like let this girl have a fresh start.

But in the books Con says that Jere has been talking to her before he sends the letters. So maybe she tries to reach out to him first? I can see her asking him to see her, to talk to her, and him refusing for a while. Until eventually he decides to see her, maybe since he’s already graduated it really is him in London with his dad’s firm, and he hops a train to Paris? She’s surprised to see him but also not ready for all the emotions it stirs up…

I can see this happening, but it won’t be believable. Did they miss Jeremiah’s dead eyes after crying nonstop last episode? That man is not getting over this anytime soon. A time jump is also not going to make this believable too. 

But we know he only wants Belly’s happiness and his brother’s too so this is likely what will happen. 

i always felt like the paris scene was a dream since it never made sense to me and i don’t think its a fake scene since they took a BTS photo. i think she looks around and imagines jeremiah since they were supposed to be in paris together. and i get why she didnt take off the ring until she was on the plane but i still wonder why she took the wedding dress…

and benito is another guy with curly hair🤣 she clearly has a type with cam, jeremiah and benito

Idk… based on the final trailer, I’m glad Belly’s finally discovering herself in Paris. But then they show her taking off her engagement ring on the plane (a clear sign she’s starting a new chapter outside Cousins). She looks happy and free, but then it ends with Conrad’s ‘Dear Belly’ letter narration...and no sign of Jere at all. Honestly, it left me feeling sad. It’s like Jeremiah is being forgotten as always after all. That was my first impression of the trailer, at least.🥲

I would truly love to see her do this because it’s the most realistic, especially in the day and age, but I just think she loves Conrad too much and she wouldn’t do her books a disservice like that. A lot of the fans love her with Conrad and this is supposed to be that books to show kind of thing and I would’ve totally accepted that if they didn’t propagate this love triangle like this and didn’t add the extra nuances to make the stakes even higher for their relationships. I would’ve totally lied down and took it, but not the way that they’ve taken it and for that I’m unwell

This sis the thing. Jeremiah wants all of her. Conrad doesn’t care. He just wants to have her. He doesn’t care what she says about it in the meantime

Predictable cliché and inconsistent, unrealistic character reactions and development from this tv show but no surprise, JH sucks as a show runner and writer

“Anything can happen” and it’s just following the books 😭😭😭

I’m throwing up. If Laurel doesn’t know she’s there then does this mean Conrad didn’t see her and maybe found out that she ran off and he goes back to look for her?!

I don’t know what I was expecting but if we don’t have at least one entire episode of Belly and Conrad actively being happy together I will riot.

I didn’t sit through 8 episodes of Jelly to be “rewarded” with some letters from Conrad (I hated it in the book too) who once AGAIN has to be the one to reach out to show Belly they belong together because she’s too stupid to see it.

This trailer tells me though that they do not talk at the airport because I can’t imagine Conrad knowing she went off to Paris and not telling Laurel.

If we only get one episode it had better be two hours. If they end it just like the book with a flash forward to the wedding without showing us how they got there (and not just a five minute montage!), I will have wasted so much of my life on this show LOL

She made friends faster in Paris (does she speak French or was she magically let back into study abroad on short notice) than she did in three years at Finch.

I wonder if it is creative editing for the trailer. Like she is on the phone with someone else and they spliced it to be talking to her mom.

I’m glad Belly is gonna do some soul searching in Paris cause she really needed to get a life outside of Cousins & that bubble. The letter might start happening end of ep 9-10. I ship Bonrad (neutral like) so it’ll be nice too see how that gonna worked out. Based on this trailer do you think Bellly is gonna have a good arc?

Her styling after she, I assume, finds herself in Paris is a major YES!!!

Actual grown-up style versus Belly cosplaying as grownup for the first 8 lol.

I'm excited!

SHAKINGG THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A TRAILER MEANS THE NEXT THREE EPISODES ARE GONNA BE CRAZYYY. ALSO WE'RE GETTING MORE CONRAD POV??? HIS NARRATION IN THE END

We are gonna watch a new show altogether now 🥺

Screaming. Oh my god. This is exactly what I wanted for her.

The thing is though, the show seemed to allude to their being something else to their relationship, with all the comments about there being “three people in that marriage”, etc.

Or maybe they were just trying to portray a friendship that truly has no boundaries. Laurel & Susannah were very enmeshed.

Yeahhhhh except they call Belly ‘their’ daughter and the husbands talk about them having a third member in the relationship. Their friendship might not have been ‘romantic’ but it sure had no boundaries.

TLDR:

• The Summer I Turned Pretty fans have a hunch about the nature of the close bond that Laurel and Susannah shared. Some fans are convinced that the lifelong friends were actually romantically interested in each other, not just platonically bonded.
• For Jackie Chung, who plays Laurel, mom to Belly and Steven, the speculation is surprising. "It never crossed my mind," she tells PEOPLE of the idea that Laurel and Susannah (Rachel Blanchard) had romantic feelings for each other.
• In Chung's mind, the speculation is a symptom of how rare it is to see such a deep female friendship explored onscreen. "I just think that it's rare to see this kind of love on screen where these women just wholly support each other and care about each other and have a decades-long friendship," Chung, 46, says of Laurel and Susannah's bond.

I never understood this narrative 

They love each other they aren’t in love with each other they are platonic sole mates and it’s beautiful 

They are each others person but it doesn’t always have to be romantic 

"The lesbian continuum is a term coined by Adrienne Rich (1986) in “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence.” By constructing sexual identity along a gradient, it offers an alternative to traditional binary classifications of sexual identity. This concept was formulated with the intent of including women who do not ordinarily think of themselves as lesbians, specifically women who identify as heterosexuals. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Theory; Lesbian Continuum]"

"The lesbian continuum is a radical feminist model of sexual orientation, claiming that all women have a lesbian potential and that women's bonding, defined as lesbianism but not necessarily based on genital sexuality, is the only successful way to overthrow patriarchy. It was developed by Adrienne Rich in her 1981 essay “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence” and triggered fierce debates within and outside lesbian feminism. This fluid model of female sexuality stands in contrast with the more essentialistic approach to sexual orientation represented by identity politics, but resurfaces in queer theory. Originally devised as a political tool to describe women's resistance to patriarchy, the notion of lesbian continuum has been used in literary and film criticism, and some queer theorists have expanded its use to cover gender as well as sexuality."
