everyones talking about conrad this and jeremiah that, but why doesnt everyone tall about how belly casually made out with 3 guys in one season like cmon

[@unspokenrizz555]

Literally

[@michellelovesboba]

I literally feel the exact same way. Although, I did read the books before the show, and let me just make one thing clear. Conrad hasn’t always loved Belly. It’s clearly stated in the book. Jeremiah has always felt something towards her. I also freaking love Jeremiah. He’s amazing.

[@dareeltrieseverything288]

Let's be honest The boys in the show were giving sweet home Alabama

[@arellaramos7745]

React to miraculous season 5 plssss

[@xandra3984]

Honestly, she seemed so much more comfortable and *happy* with Jeremiah than Conrad - he even helped her and protected her rep at EVERY turn whilst Conrad just stood there, inactive in the friendship let alone the romance.

[@mahi93162]

Yeah I love her bond and chemistry with Jeremiah and I prefer his personality too

[@selingoker2326]

Yeah, team Conrad!

[@juliesh13]

She seemed happy all summers before with Conrad) You forgot the story. He acted different only this summer.

[@shelbycarne]

um no. belly and jeremiah don’t have any chemistry as more than platonic best friends. Jeremiah was being toxic as hell by sabotaging any moment belly and conrad had together. Conrad rejected belly because he knew he couldn’t be there for her in the way she needed him to be. he was protecting her feelings as best he could. did he say some iffy things? yes but jere did a lot of iffy things. i’m the books and the show. team conrad for life

Reading the books shows conrad is better

[@wynstical]

conrad was a jerk bc he was dealing with his mom’s cancer and couldnt talk to anyone abt it. lets talk about how con loved her before the summer she turned pretty. jeremiah only liked her when she turned pretty and because he was jealous of what con and belly had. con put belly first by distancing himself and telling her jeremiah was the better choice bc he knew that jeremiah was emotionally available at the time

[@cookylip1]

This show made me realise that we all will go for Conrad in our teens just to choose Jere when we discover self love lol

[@a.inesfidalgo3367]

I looove Jeremiah but I cannot ship him with Belly. It just seems so platonic, I was caught completely off guard during the fireworks scene, it came out of nowhere. I then read the first book and it was so much more obvious in the book. Anyway team Conrad all the way, I don't like how he is described by people as mysterious or serious, the guy is just straight up depressed, and the actor did a great job with that.

To me, the vampire diaries were the main comparison I made to the summer I turned pretty. And it’s also a coincidence that the actor who plays Jeremiah also played younger Damon so… also my personal opinion but #TeamJeremiah

I’m team Jere. I love how Jeremiah goes out of his way to tell Belly she's beautiful and just how special she is to him. He never leads her on or plays with her feelings like Conrad does. And before conrad stans come at me, yes i HAVE read the books.

[@vaanyabedumb]

i definitely feel that maybe this summer jere was the right choice BUT remember that Conrad isn't always this moody and stuff and he was dealing with so much. He also acted much more maturely than Jeremiah. When Jere saw Conrad and belly together, he almost blew them up with a firework. When Conrad saw Jere and belly together, he told her how Jere was the better choice and acted MATURELY about it. For both the books and the series, Jere put himself and what he wanted first, but Conrad ALWAYS put Belly first. I feel like jere and belly are more platonic soulmates, confusing feelings whereas conrad and belly are romantic soulmates.

[@hayley7292]

@@vaanyabedumb I mostly agree with you, but personally I don't think conrad has always put belly first. he's very selfless, and i love him for that but there are times when he has put himself first. Like when he crashed bellys and cams date, or when he tried to kiss belly while he was aware that he was with nicole and she was with cam. He only started backing off when Taylor and Belly both told him to. I understand why he was moody and I personally don't see that as a flaw with him cause he was going through so much. I hope they don't get into a relationship with each other until Conrad can learn to not 'need' belly, otherwise it may end in a co-dependant relationship.

[@chileanyways196]

@@vaanyabedumb I’m going to have to disagree with you there. Jeremiah literally hid that he liked Belly because he knew she liked Conrad and didn’t want to ruin anything for her. That doesn’t sound very selfish to me. Yes, the firework thing was immature, but y’all acting like that scene represents his entire character. And It’s not like he was trying to hurt them, it was 1 firework and the firework wasn’t aimed near them. he’s a teenage boy who acted on an impulse one time. On the other hand, Conrad REPEATEDLY treats Belly and those around him terribly, which is selfish. He plays with belly’s feelings, leading her on, crashes belly’s first date, tries to kiss belly when he was with Nicole, and tells Belly that he “needs” her to survive (which is not healthy) Yes, he’s going through a lot but that doesn’t give him an excuse to act the way he does. At the end of book 1 and in book 2 Jeremiah finds out/goes through the same things as Connor does regarding their mom and the house (and is dealing with the pain of Belly being with Conrad) Yet despite all this, he chooses to not take out his pain on those around him and continues to treat Belly with nothing but kindness and respect. This is part of the reason why the incident in book 3 felt so out of character for him.

[@riveroverland5902]

Conrad was jerky and seemed like a red flag because he was crushing under the weight of his mother’s cancer, his parents’ divorce and his feelings for Belly. Still though, in the end he gets better and even wants Belly to be happy because he has liked her since before she turned pretty (he was the only one who would include Belly in their trio). He was distancing himself as much as he could for Belly to be happy with Jeremiah until he had to step in. Jeremiah has always been kind to her but also didn’t show that he liked her until he saw Conrad and Belly almost kiss. Tbh there has always been a flirtatious vibe but it also came out of nowhere in a sense. Possessive and adorable but of course with his flaws. In the end, Cam Cameron is the best guy but Conrad is the best guy for Belly since she can’t get over him. Realistically none of us would choose either of them irl but this was fun

She is not in love "with both brothers", she is in love with Conrad, she always has been, and HE always has been in love with her too ( they made this even more obvious in the books ), Jeremiah was always like more of a best friend and they only got together because Belly was tired of waiting for Conrad and kinda used him to try to moove on if we are being honest, even in the books its pretty obvious that Conrad is the only choice but i feel like in the show they are making it even more clear

[@jackierosas9593]

Dude, this is how it was with Twilight too. Everyone said Bella was in love with Edward and Jacob but nope. It was ALWAYS Edward. She even flat out says this. Same thing with Belly and Conrad (and I haven’t even read the books though I did google the ending🤣). Everything goes back to Connie dearest, the flashbacks, the narration, the eye banging. Jeremy doesn’t stand a whistle of a chance. He’s Jacob, the bestie who tries but can’t catch a break. At least, unlike Jakey, Jer won’t fall in love with Conrad and Belly’s demon baby. Jesus, Stephanie, what were you thinking with that 😫

[@LinaEmily]

True, she has always been in love with Conrad and I feel like Jeremiah also kind of knows that but ignores it.

[@Etancam]

rlly liked binging the show and stayed up till 4 am but let me say I AM TEAM JEREMIAH ALL THE WAY like they had more chemistry and looked more better together some thoughts I have was: - Taylor gave me red flags from the beginning but somewhat grew on me after shipping belly and jeremiah - steven is an idiot what can I say but he trys and maybe if theres a season 2 we can see his chracter develop -surprised with how quick shayla was ok with him cheating and spending all his money like I thought she would know thats not good - I feel rlly bad for cam like he was rlly sweet and like honestly was also better then conrad - also it felt so sudden for conrad to fall for belly LIKE BOY WAS BARELY INTERACTING WITH HER THIS SUMMER - ALSO THE ENDING INFURIATED ME LIKE I WAS SCREAMING AT THE END WITH ANGER LIKE THAT KISS FELT SUDDEN AND I ALSO HATED TO SEE MY SHIP FAIL SO THIS JUST MY BIASED OPINION BUT OH WELL sorry for the rant but none of my friends watched the show so this was the next best thing

@@wynstical okay but..I can bet when jere now knows about Sussanah, he won't cut people out. And no, it's the exact opposite. Jere was in love for years and Conrad liked her when she grew up. It's said in the show that Jere waited for her. It's literally what their own characters said

[@wynstical]

@@minaveljovic9662 con taught her how to dance, the muffin, inifnity, and the stuffed bear?? there were no cute flashbacks of her and jeremiah. also did u ever realize that he could be lying?? the confession was so sudden they literally had no chemistry, he was just jealous of what con and belly had and literally did not think of her that way before she was pretty. also its not just the fact that he knew, its the fact that he was bottling it inside and didnt have anyone to talk to it about. it was to the point where he even had a panic attack. mans was going thru the worst months of his life, ofc he cut belly out, he wanted her to be with someone who wasnt a mess

[@emma2992]

I think that The Way I Loved You playing when Conrad stands up to dance with Belly at the Deb Ball was a perfect song choice. The verses are about a guy who's safe and does everything right and always knows what to say, and the chorus is about a relationship with fighting and passion. I think that's perfect symbolism for Jeremiah vs Conrad. Jere is the safe choice, he would never intentionally hurt her, but Conrad is the guy she could kiss in the rain and curse his name at 2am.

[@taylorsherlockperalta1295]

I was literally thinking the same thing!!! I was just amazed at this show foe using Taylors songs for when Conrad and Belly were together, or having a romantic moment.

Jeremiah is the classic 2nd child compared to the golden child Conrad. Jeremiah wants Belly only because he is a f boy and is perhaps jealous of Conrad. Everyone know Belly was in love with Conrad but it didn’t stop Jer from trying to keep them apart like with the fireworks and suggesting Nicole ask Conrad to go that concert with her.

[@kira3401]

Great analysis that I talked about in my comment too!! I think everyone can ship Belly and Jeremiah but at the end of the day Belly WANTS Conrad and she can’t change that. The soundtrack was so good all around. We all know that if Taylor Swift plays in their scenes, Bonrad is most definitely end game :)

[@flwrlizz]

honestly I don't understand why people still prefer to live complicated and difficult relationships when they have the option of having a healthy and fun romance?! always this "heart wants what it wants" shit, like it's cool to go through hell just because you're in love with certain aspects of someone else.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Part 2: Jeremiah I am a sucker for friendship to lovers. I love couples that start as friends because they built a foundation. They can talk about anything and they established trust. Jeremiah was this for Belly. I also liked how he always tried to respect her and treat her well. Yes, he was a bit of a flirt and he said some jerking things, but he took his relationship seriously with her and respected her boundaries. Conrad did not do that. I give him a pass for being late to their dance because he literally just discovered his mom had cancer. That is a lot. But I wish it was a cute “sorry I am late” scene or Shayla and Steven dancing with her. Why did Conrad choose now to just lead her on again? Jeremiah should bot have interrupted Belly’s kiss with Conrad, but I can see where he is coming from, but Belly made the decision to move on with Jeremiah. Also, Jeremiah made sure she wanted a relationship too. They made sure they were on the same page. I love that scene where Belly calls him to pick her and Taylor up. It shows she can rely on him and trust him. I am sorry, if your friend approves the healthy guy for you, listen to them. They are not against the toxic person to be against the toxic person. They just want what is best for you. I am team Jelly all the way. Well I loved Cam the best, but for where the story was going, i became a huge Jelly shipper.

[@unspokenrizz555]

I loved cam and I felt so bad for him but I knew he wasn't part of the love triangle so there was no possible way they could've been end game

[@chantalayman6012]

I 100% agree with you. You said what was on my mind!!! Why was she pursuing both ?? Why did she and Conrad kiss at the end with no closure with Jeremiah if she ended up choosing Conrad 😭😭Cam cameron deserved better and Jeremiah deserves better than this for sure!! Conrad has so many issues and continues to treat her poorly. Honestly i don’t get why he couldn’t just tell her from the start that his mom is ill and that is why he is upset all the time. Communication would have saved everyone’s time😅. At the ending scene, she was determined not to stay with Conrad but then he told her i need you i want you then the kiss?? She changed her mind about the whole thing a little too fast maybe!! This was so confusing to me.

[@vaanyabedumb]

Conrad didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to ruin their summer. He wanted his mom to have the perfect last summer and for everyone else to also be happy. He wasn't being selfish, he was being selfless.

I genuinely think they had a sibling relationship in the first few episodes. Then they randomly switched it up in episode 5, making them a romantic. They didn't do a good job of making it romantic in the first few episodes. He had that big brother energy.

[@kira3401]

Team Conrad (before you hate on me here’s why) 1. A lot of people are talking about how Conrad only saw Belly as a “little kid” before the summer she turned pretty but THAT’S A GOOD THING! Keep in mind that they’re two years apart and it would be slightly weird if he thought otherwise when they were really young (two years is a lot for kids). 2. Obviously Jere is a sweetheart and treated Belly very well but Conrad would’ve done the same or more if it weren’t for everything he was going through. He knew about his mom’s cancer, was well aware about his dad cheating on his mom, he quit his sport and started having really bad panic attacks!!Imagine you knew that you wouldn’t have parents anymore at such a young age because your mom is dying and your dad had an affair. Imagine you had the weight of the world on your shoulders and felt like you couldn’t tell anyone about it because you didn’t want to ruin the summer. I completely agree that his actions aren’t excusable in any way but he very clearly had a reason for these bad actions. 3. THE FLASHBACKS. omg these scenes really got to me. The whole infinity pancakes and then translating that into the necklace. PERFECTION! I think it’s also important to note that Conrad always included Belly (there is a reason she had a huge crush on him, be real people). It seemed like Jere put Belly in the background and hanged out with Steven mostly (which is fine but Conrad really made an effort with her even if it was platonic to him). This is another example of Conrad not just being the cold bad-boy that is portrayed in the show. 4. The books. There isn’t much I can say here because I haven’t read them YET but I’m aware of something not so nice happening with Jere’s character in book 3. Also, most book fans really love Conrad and Belly so that’s something for us to consider too. 5. Although I love Jeremiah so much, Belly could never think of him or treat him like her number one. Just like with Cam Cameron. I also want to note here about the brilliant connection with playing The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift at the Deb Ball. LISTEN TO THE SONG RN IF YOU ARENT FAMILIAR WITH IT! Anyways, the song is about a girl having a really good boyfriend. Perfect on paper, super sweet (the Jeremiah per se). The girl is happy with the relationship but she always has and always will have something with a different guy (the Conrad). Belly will always appreciate Jere but she wants someone she can scream and fight and kiss in the rain ;) 6. I’ll make this my final point because I’m sure you’re bored of this comment but Jenny Han is a huge Swiftie (as am I). There are 5 Taylor Swift songs in TSITP: Lover, Cruel Summer, False God, The Way I Loved You and This Love (Taylors Version). It’s always Conrad and Belly in the Taylor Swift scenes. You know and I know and Jenny knows that when Taylor is playing, it means end game :) I don’t know if anyone could ever read this entire comment, but hopefully I changed your perspective a bit! Also, feel free to debate me (kindly) because maybe you could change my mind (unlikely) too💕

[@jocelynadamski9511]

JEREMIAH! Honestly, he and Belly are much more comfortable and less awkward together. Conrad doesn't respect Belly at all. He lies to her repeatedly, leads her on, insults her multiple times, and is only interested on his terms. He is toxic and manipulative. (And sorry IDC that his mom is dying, it's not an excuse to be abusive to someone you "love" that doesn't even know what's going on) Jeremiah, on the other hand, just tells her he likes and ASKS HER what she wants. He has a way bigger heart than Conrad. Also, he's WAY cuter! When Belly is with Conrad, the worst parts of her come out. When she is with Jeremiah, she is more authentically herself. She's relaxed, confident and happy. When's she with Conrad- she's insecure, defensive, uptight, and just flat unhappy. Also, can we talk about the fact that Belly CHEATS on Jeremiah? He at LEAST deserved a conversation before making out with his brother, his brother who's been a total d**k to her all summer. (And I don't care if they shared ONE dance, as if that automatically eliminates all the passive aggressive and other ABUSE he threw at Belly all summer.) I was honestly upset that she kissed Conrad at the end, he did NOTHING to earn her trust, respect or her love. He never really even apologized for what an ass he was to her all summer. Even the way they act SEPARTELY from her. Conrad LIES to other people and doesn't say what he means to Belly's face. Jeremiah defends her behind her back, tries to help her, supports everything she does, and tells her his real feelings to her face, no games- no manipulation. Even when she's dating Cameron, Jeremiah doesn't force his own agenda on her. He waits until she is broken up and even asks HOW SHE FEELS and for her CONSENT. Conrad manipulates her on the 4th of July and almost kisses her, despite the fact that she currently has a BF. I love Jenny Han, but I feel like in this case, she had the idea that Belly and Conrad were endgame, but if she had allowed the characters to be true to themselves, then Belly would have ended up with Jeremiah. And what a great and unexpected ending that would have been, especially considering the parallel to Sabrina- a story in which a woman is in love with one brother her whole life only to learn she's really in love and more compatible with the other brother. Belly and Jeremiah are just flat out more compatible. Even if Belly and Conrad end up together, I never believe their relationship will survive. He'll get moody ,shut down, and be emotionally manipulative and abusive. :( Belly deserved the BETTER brother! TEAM JELLY FOREVER! If you cut out the Waltz and the kiss at the end, it's perfect. (which honestly feels tacked on, anyway) It doesn't make sense that Belly would make the shift from brother to brother THAT fast considering how they both treated her leading up to that. Even IF she always had a crush on Conrad, so what? Someone want to make a JELLY cut?

[@kira3401]

I think this whole analysis missed the point of Conrad’s complicated character (though I appreciate your honesty and hope we can have a mature conversation). I want to first touch on the fact that Conrad wasn’t always a closed off, cold hearted, bad guy. We can clearly see in flashbacks that Conrad always included Belly when Jeremiah didn’t. Jere always chose to hang out with Steven instead of her. No, I don’t think Conrad had a crush on her until this summer but I also don’t believe Jere did. Conrad is two years older than her and for young kids, thats a lot! So it’s completely understandable why he saw their relationship as platonic. Although, Jere says that he always liked Belly, he has a weird way of showing it as it looks like he ignored her in their childhood or had more of a best friend relationship. You “not caring” about Conrad’s mother dying says a lot about the empathy you have for characters. Obviously Jeremiah was going to be more emotionally available, ignorance is bliss! Conrad not only had to deal with knowing about his mother’s cancer, he also knew about his dad having an affair, he quit his sport and developed severe anxiety! Don’t down play his mental health to prove a point. Of course this doesn’t excuse Conrad’s actions but as a person who has lost someone really important to me, don’t ever tell someone how to grieve. It’s different for everyone. Conrad’s actions were awful as you mentioned but it’s obvious he was not always like this and there’s room for growth and change. No character is perfect because no person is perfect. I think Jere is a great guy and I always love the cute Jelly scenes but I don’t tolerate completely bashing Conrad and calling him the bad guy without looking at the depth of his character. Let me know your thoughts!

[@hannahcch14]

team conrad all the way - i think jeremiah just liked the idea of belly, and not belly - they're better off as friends, especially because everyone kept shipping them. conrad was more quiet and seemed to have more chemistry with belly (in my opinion with their rare interactions), since he had so much weight on his back (e.g. his moms cancer) so it makes his quiet character have a meaning behind it. i think team conrad because his birthday present and how he expresses his feelings for belly even in a different way just my (biased) opinion dont hate me

idk why and i know this is such an unpopular opinion but jere has always given me the ick because he never showed that he liked belly until conrad started showing interest, and the amount of times he tried to sabotage belly and connie was crazy, but even after all the sabotage they found their way back to each other which must mean something. i personally had the same thing happen to me with my parents divorce, i knew it was going to happen and my brother didn’t and it hurt him a lot more when he found out. i regret not telling him but for connie i think he was just respecting susannahs wish of one last perfect summer, (he’s a mommas boy after all) i do think that jere punching conrad was totally out of pocket, but i can’t say i wouldn’t do the same, everyone needs to be mad sometimes. honestly connie was such a good older sibling the way he let his brother take out his anger on him and didn’t fight back. idk what it is about jere but him and belly just seem forced while belly and conrad come naturally. also jere seems like he’s putting on a show of happiness when deep down he’s extremely jealous of his brother and belly, which i personally hate. i mean speak now or forever hold your peace, sabotaging them wasn’t the way to go he should’ve said something. overall i don’t get how people like jere and i’m really trying to like him so please convince me that he’s not a terrible person 😭 in the end connie isn’t a perfect boy, but he’s belly’s perfect boy and their love goes on for infinity..i always knew jere was gonna cheat i mean bfr he hooked up with almost every person in cousins. jere said he would never hurt belly but he did, and connie always loved belly, he just never realized how much he loved her. sorry for ranting it’s like 3 am and i can’t sleep lol

I’m currently team Jeremiah all the way!! 🥰that Bonrad kiss at the end was horrible I’m sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️ the only thing I like about Belly and Conrad was their flashbacks and the infinity necklace he got her for her bday and the story behind it.

Yes I thought I was the only one who compared the kissing booth to the summer I turned pretty 😅

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Part 3: cam and kissing booth Cam was the best option. He listened. He was respectful. He was so sweet and understanding. He noticed her when she considered herself as “ugly” even though she never was. He took the teasing of her friends and family like a trooper. Have to respect that. Cam. Sweet Cam. When watching the show and reading the first book, all I did was compare it to the kissing booth. I felt Conrad got a lot of Noah’s bad traits (book wise). Jeremiah was a less whiny and more fun version of Lee. And book wise, Belly was like Elle. She was insecure, gets jealous a lot, and was possessive over everyone which got really annoying. I don’t like her wishy washiness in the show, but her character did improve from her book counterpart. Oh and the other comparison was the two moms being friends forever and sort if raising the kids together.

[@unspokenrizz555]

That's the main reason I felt so bad for cam 😭😭 he was better than both Conrad and jeremiah but I knew there was no possible chance him and belly would be end game since he wasn't part of the main love triangle

[@vaanyabedumb]

everyone talking about Jeremiah being much better for her than Conrad, and although that may be true for THAT summer, remember that Conrad isn't always this moody and stuff and he was dealing with so much. He also acted much more maturely than Jeremiah. When Jere saw Conrad and belly together, he almost blew them up with a firework. When Conrad saw Jere and belly together, he told her how Jere was the better choice and acted MATURELY about it. For both the books and the series, Jere put himself and what he wanted first, but Conrad ALWAYS put Belly first.

[@mariahutchinson2481]

You explained my thoughts exactly and team jere

[@euphoriastan3528]

Actually, I think that Conrad's the one for her... Jeremiah's interest in Belly was so random, like he never show romantic feelings for her, before he sees his brother into her. So yeah, I think it's was undeveloped and surprising for me. Also, Conrad IS the one for her. He always cared for her, and "loved" her even when she wasn't 'pretty'. The first thing he tells her on the show is that he liked her better with glasses, and was proud that she's responding him. Most importantly, I liked the depth that was brought to his character, like we saw his anxiety problems and how he struggled with his mom's cancer. He was the only one knowing about it, and that just made he feel even more lonely. And even with all these struggles, his love for Belly was really strong, and that just confused him. I really think that he's the one for her, and I WANT them together. However, as someone that read the books, people will hate on him next season, and if they follow the books, people will understand him till season 3... I really encourage y'all to read the books, you just understand more the characters. PS : I really hated what Jeremiah did at the beginning of the third book, I would never have taken him back. But also, they did him a little dirty even though I think it was for the best.

I would pick Conrad. Everybody was asking why a sweet Conrad has changed, this only means that he was not always like that being broody. Her Connection with Conrad will always stronger than any other guys in the show.

[@alyseyer6366]

Conrad knew he wasn’t in a good mental space and knew that he was treating Belly badly as a result. Instead of focusing on himself and getting help he tried to go after Belly when she was trying to pursue someone else. People harp on Jer for being jealous but Conrad did it first, only to then leave her in the dust when she began to reciprocate the attention. It was extremely unfair of him and to his credit, he knew this, but still didn’t do anything about it which led to him leading Nicole and Belly on. Cam was perfect and deserved more. They just didn’t have the chemistry and that’s alright. He and Belly only went on dates but they were never exclusive and dating so even though he ended up hurt I don’t support Belly slander over this. I’ve rarely met anyone who has just one crush that they’re devoted to. Jer in my opinion was the best option. Every time there was a scene with him Belly felt welcome and overall the vibes were just amazing between them. Everyone says he’s just a bff character overlooks the fact that going from friends to lovers IS a thing and imo the chemistry is the best that way. These are just my thoughts

[@vaanyabedumb]

100% team conrad

[@liviacarstairs989]

I have to say this because I was Team Jere until what happened in the books happened. Conrad is an idiot (in capital letters) in the first book, he gets on my nerves and from there I said you know what? Jere is better for her but then there were certain moments of Jere. He is also somewhat toxic since both in the book and in the series he always interrupts moments of Conrad and Bellie. I understand that you like her and I support you on this, but let her make her own mistakes and let her live her life and if it is in her plans and heart she will go out with you. but he is always there to separate or interrupt moments and that got on my nerves. Let her live!!! I said. Then they date in the books and everything is cute a fun but bellie is always thinking about Conrad even though she tries to love his brother. Then they have a Fight about Jer going to Cabo and he cheated with some uni faternity girl and In that moment instantly I turned team Conrad. Like in book three conrads idioticy as I call it starts to make sense and step by step they are getting closer but no, we have a jelous jere every now and then. He is always interrumpting, Conrad never ever looked at another woman that wasn't bellie and he stated that in book three unlike jere who cheated on her. Once a cheater always a cheater 😢

[@cara1263]

I read somewhere that Belly and Jeremiah were already broken up after the fight. To jere, it was a breakup but to belly, it was more of an argument. That's why she probably back to him soon afterward. I think belly's actions prompted readers to perceive Jeremiah's behavior as cheating.

[@liviacarstairs989]

@@cara1263 Yeah I get your point, but the Fight was that, a Fight. Instead of calling bellie and make things better and seek out for their relationship he decides to get drunk and sleep with her. Not only that, that when they "got back together" he didn't tell her about what happened at cabo or at what point they where in their relationship. He just was so secretive about it and that was what turned things into a cheat. He claimed it meant nothing but when you don't tell things it is because you know it means something to you and your couple, he just gave the silent treatment to the issue. Isnt that what cheaters do? Be silent about it hoping that their significant other doesn't find out? But in the end the truth pops out and then you are just heartbroken. Conrad never did this in the books and the way he begs her at the wedding to be with him was so heartbroken. When you love someone you don't sleep with another. Conrad loved her so much that he stepped out of the way not caring about his feelings for her to be with Jere because he thought he was better for her, also in the books he was trying to be with some girl and the girl noticed that he was thinking about another so she asked were you ever been in love? From 1 to 10 how much? Then he said "You can't put being in love on a scale. Either you are or you aren't." Then he has some pov moment and says wasn't that the reason he was I california studying? To be apart form her (bellie) and his brother?. When he learnt about jere cheating at cabo he went to her but she told him she already knew then she made a comment about them when they were dating and said "probably you weren't so different either" and he answered "I never once cheated on you. I never even looked at another girl when we were together." he even confessed and then she said “When Conrad Fisher told a girl he loved her, he meant it. A girl could believe in that. A girl could maybe even bet her whole life on it.” Also another cute moment at valentines day when they watched shooting stars during their relationship at valentines day she said " He didn’t give me flowers or candy. He gave me the moon and the stars. Infinity"

@@liviacarstairs989 I didn't read the book but I saw a lot of comments saying that he cheated while others stated that they were broken up when he got together with someone else. I guess all the differing opinions confused me. Thank you for giving me some clarity on the book's context :)

My biggest thing is that Jeremiah’s feelings largely stem from competition with Conrad and often lust. He is kind, gentle, and open with her, but I cannot see them being able to work through difficulties together because there isn’t as much as a soul connection. They remind me of very good friends. Whereas with Conrad, they love each other in such a deep overwhelming way that neither of them are mature enough for. He keeps shutting her out not because he’s toxic, but because he knows he’s not ready and can’t be all that she wants while he is hurting. Of course, being young, they still want to make it work and therefore start dating. However, that’s why by the end of s2, Jere is better for Belly. They have a much easier and younger relationship that is attainable and like Belly said, realistic, at least for this stage of their lives. We have seen how sweet and amazing of a boyfriend Conrad is, but he needs a lot of time to process Susannah’s death and sort out his feelings before making a commitment to Belly.

Part 1: Conrad While Conrad is more nuanced on the show than in the books, I felt he was filled with red flags. In the book, there was the line, “just because you are going through something does not mean you can treat someone like crap” and I agree. I respect that Conrad is trying to protect everyone and follow his mom’s wishes, but he should not have been a jerk almost every chance he got with Belly. I felt his red flags were besides miscommunication were just insulting her and sometimes gaslighting her. They had a couple of nice moments but you never know what you are getting with him. Also, it is a huge red flag when someone always takes their opportunity when they are happy and a good place. She and Jeremiah just started dating and they did not even break up before he just pounced and stepped in. I get Jeremiah was late to the dance, but Conrad using it as an opportunity to usurp the brother did not sit right with me.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

@@preppygracie_xo going with the books, i definitely see that, but I only liked the side characters in them. Show wise, I feel the fireworks scene made sense. Bear with me. Not the best judgment, but I felt Conrad acted like a jerk to her in most of the season and as soon as he saw her liking Cam or Jere, that is when he confessed his feelings. I am not saying Conrad never liked her, but why did he always make his move when she was with someone. That is skivvy. So I feel they switched roles. In the books, it was Jere doing this, but personally, I did not feel that way. In the show, it was Conrad. Agree with why Conrad did not tell Jeremiah about their mom and good point about him not fighting back. I still feel it is a low blow for him to step in and I blame the writers for this. I think Stephen or their other friends should have danced with her and done a group thing or her mom should have like one day at a time when Elena’s mom danced with her when her father left the quince. That would have added to the relationship of Belly and her family. So again, did not enjoy him in book 1. Liked him in book 2, but felt Han just ruined his character in book 3. Show wise, he is so much better. A) I am a friendship to lovers. Not counting the scene where he and Conrad showed up on Cam’s date with her. Actually, strike 1. The positives: out of order. The volleyball game: he stuck by her and respected her boundaries when she wanted to switch partners. Did not like dances, but agreed to be her date when Conrad was being jerkish about it. Picked her up when she and Taylor was stranded. The scene in the car was consensual which also showed he respected her. And Taylor liking her and Jeremiah together. When your friend approves, that is a good sign. I just think think they had a better connection, in my opinion. I also think she liked herself more when she was with him.

[@wonderwander8932]

As much as I like Belly with Jeremiah, she only used him to get over Conrad. With Jeremiah, she seemed more happy and she seemed more of a person than a typical flat main character. But again, she was simply using him because he was the 2nd best choice for her, and realistically speaking the moment they get together, she would probably talk to him for like 5 minutes once a week and then forget him and then repeat. To me, Conrad was more like a regular tv show red flag, and it was only after we learned of the reason for his actions that we saw him as an actual human being. The most realistic characters were probably the moms, Conrad’s mom was about to die, she didn’t show she was scared but we knew she was fearful of dying and wanted to make the most of her time before she passes on but she didn’t want everyone upset so she didn’t tell anyone so the best way-in her view-was to close herself off from people, Conrad only found out on a whim and, Belly’s mom was obviously upset about it because her best friend is about to die and she didn’t tell anyone pretending everything was fine, but she understood her worries-kinda-but obviously she was still furious as she had a right to feel that way. And if I’m being honest, the characters only started to seem more fleshed out after a few more episodes. Conrad is probably the only choice she actually has because I mean, he’s clearly the only person she wants and he wants her so even if she made a promise to not focus on him, it’s clear they’re still gonna be endgame. And I’m not saying the story is bad but it slightly lacks originality and something I’ve noticed in some stories is that comparing to the female lead, the male lead is the only one who’s flaws are acknowledged and this kinda makes the female lead’s character fall flat in that aspect and although the female lead isn’t perfect, it feels like her flaws just make her flat but some of them do seem right for her age I mean comparing yourself to the people around you is a problem some people at her age do have and she can be immature and selfish but I think that’s about it for her. This is probably because I’ve only watched the show and haven’t read the book because come on, we all know books are better than the movie adaptations and I’ve only watched like seven episodes then immediately got bored of it but I might start watching it again

Also if he like flirts with everyone, there's a possibility he will cheat on Belly if they do date or whatever. Besides, even if they do date, a part of Belly's heart would still want Conrad.

When I first watched the first few episodes I thought it’s going to be pretty shallow story wise but I love how every character has their own thing going on

I love conrad!! No matter what any of anyones excuses are conrad and belly are just suppose to be with each other!!!!

[@Kiran-K]

I'm team Conrad ( cause i basically want jere for myself ). Him and belly have had a connection since they were kids where as jere only started getting into her after hee " glow up" ( hence the name ). If she didnt have said " glow up " Jeremiah would gave never noticed belly. Plus Conrad was mentally drowning with the news of his moms condition so its not fair for people to use that as a reason for team jere. Infact when jere finds out he basically leaves belly alone at the whole ball dance thing so can you really blame either of them.
