'The Summer I Turned Pretty' - Finale Review - Will the Movie Be Belly & Conrad's Wedding

Reshma Gopaldas Season 2 Episode 13

Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney) of The Summer I Turned Pretty finally got their happy ending in the season 3 finale episode. Host Reshma Gopaldas and journalist Jason Pham discuss the finale, Belly and Conrad's long running will they/won't they - but of course they will- relationship, and what might happen in the newly announced The Summer I Turned Pretty movie.

We break down Jeremiah's kitchen romance and chef future, Laurel's absence in the finale, Conrad and Belly's love scene which has been years in the making. Taylor Swift's two songs, "Dress" and "Out of the Woods (Taylor's Version)," that had starring roles in the finale, alongside Phoebe Bridgers' "Scott Street." Plus, what we missed seeing in the finale, what didn't work for us, (ahem Belly's bob haircut), and why we think Jeremiah should be in a relationship with someone else.

We discuss Belly's Paris life, and how her one long day in Paris with Conrad included The Louvre, The Eiffel Tour, and so many iconic French spots, plus the dinner with her friends, and the ups and downs of their relationship, leading up to the big reunion moment, the short break-up, and then Belly's run to the train station to finally tell Conrad she loves him. The book ending shows Belly and Conrad getting married, but the television finale did not.

From Taylor and Steven, to Jeremiah and Denise, to Conrad and Belly, the finale wrapped up all the stories, but the movie will most likely feature Belly and Conrad's wedding, and other relationship milestones. We discuss what storyline possibilities could take place in the movie, and Jason suggests Belly and Conrad's house in Cousins might burn down. Plus, what he think Belly and Conrad will name their first child.

The Summer I Turned Pretty is created by Jenny Han and is streaming now on Prime Video, and stars: Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Rain Spencer, Sean Kaufman, Rachel Blanchard, Tom Everett Scott, Colin Ferguson and Jackie Chung.
