I Read The Final SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY Book and This Sh*t is UNSALVAGEABLE 🥴

[@brittanyhoward1741]

The cinematic parallels between Jenny Han's character assassination of Jeremiah and SJM's character assassination of Tamlin needs to be studied in creative writing class, like what kind of backtracking, flying-by-the-seat-of-your-pants clownery is this 😭

I am so happy the first comment I see brings up Jeremiah's character assassination because that is exactly what it is. If they do this in the Series I'm rioting.

[@caribbeanadams3345]

jenny han didn't assassinate jere's character. the red flags with jere were mainly in the second book when we got his pov. he's obsessed with conrad because his father favored him. he's jealous of him. in his mind, he's always in competition with him. that's part of why he pursued belly even though he knew conrad liked her and has known belly has been crushing on conrad since they were kids. also he's a known flirt, and belly wasn't sleeping with him. it's not a shocker that he slept with someone else. jere's golden retreiver act really had y'all fooled. he's deeply insecure and manipulative.

[@thatonebadasslighter]

@caribbeanadams3345 So true. They should've just made a brother code because I don't think ruining a sibling relationship is the right way to go. It's not worth it. It's so annoying how Jenny Han portrayed it :(

[@oliviawilde2672]

@@caribbeanadams3345 “jenny han didn't assassinate jere's character.” She absolutely did. It’s a textbook example of character assassination. “the red flags with jere were mainly in the second book when we got his pov. he's obsessed with conrad because his father favored him. he's jealous of him. in his mind, he's always in competition with him.” How is Jeremiah being able to see through Belly’s self delusion and knowing that she isn’t over Conrad a red flag? And he was right about Conrad still having feelings for Belly and how that was interfering in their relationship, so I really don’t know what you’re on about. “that's part of why he pursued belly even though he knew conrad liked her and has known belly has been crushing on conrad since they were kids. He pursued Belly because he liked her. That’s it. And it was literally Belly who chose to date Jeremiah at the end of both book 2 and season 2. Legitimately don’t see how Belly choosing Jeremiah suggests that he would cheat on her. “also he's a known flirt, and belly wasn't sleeping with him. it's not a shocker that he slept with someone else.” Literally none of these things were hinted at or suggested in the previous two books. On the contrary, Jeremiah was built up as caring and considerate for the entire story, and he only changed when the plot needed it to justify writing him out of the story so that Belly had to choose Conrad. “jere's golden retreiver act really had y'all fooled. What act? It was literally the way Jenny Han wrote his character in the first two books, and then she completely changed it without any build up or foreshadowing just to serve a terrible plotline. “he's deeply insecure and manipulative.” No and no. Hell, the show version of Jeremiah was literally the most mature, sensible and rational character in the season finale by a lightyear. And, if anything, Jeremiah is the only character who across both seasons hasn’t cheated on anyone. Steven made out with Taylor when he was dating Shayla, Conrad was going to kiss Belly when he was with Nicole, and Belly kissed Conrad despite having started a relationship with Jere just days before.

[@bm28601]

No joke, as I read this book I kept thinking it was the most messy structured book I've ever read, fanfictions included. the plot is so far fetched i have no idea how they are going to adapt this in any functional way in the show

[@LeilaleilaZ]

When I read it the first time I couldn't believe it was actually something it was published and people paid for it. You cannot convince me that book went through a single round of editing lmao

[@Ashbrash1998]

I alaways hate the whole "we were on a break" type of trope. Because its usually they were broken up but one person actually added the clause that "you can't be with any one else until I want us to get back together". Granted I'm not saying you can't be upset about your ex getting a rebound so quickly (and the insecurity about not having sex yet), I just think I would be more sympathetic if Jeremiah had lied and said he hadn't been with someone to her. But then again, there's a lot of other issues with this book lol

[@crystalaforetia2810]

I wholeheartedly agree with this as it pertains to book 3. I’ve read the break-up passage multiple times and it in NO WAY comes across as “just a break.” Belly digs into his insecurities, Jere says “fuck it. I won’t waste your time anymore. Let’s just end things now,” and instead of backtracking, she says “Fine.” And following that, she and multiple other ppl acknowledge that they had fully broken up. It’s only after the incident with Lacie has been revealed does Belly decide that it was “just a break.” What’s worse, Belly says stuff like, “he cheated on me when we were broken up.” 😭 Belly has every right to be upset with Jeremiah (especially because she had to find out from someone else) but calling it cheating is unfair. To me, “just a break” only works if there’s a mutual understanding that all parties are taking time away from the relationship, but not necessarily severing commitment.

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

This series sounds like the definition of "pretty people problems."

[@torijeri]

i REALLY hope they change the cheating (idk if they will tbh cus it’s a major plot point) because they made Jeremiah Bisexual in the show… like cheating and saying bisexual people are “never satisfied with one gender” is a HUGE stereotype for us and i KNOW if they keep the cheating me and other bi people are going to be in the trenches defending our sexuality against this stereotype. Because you know some fans are gonna blame his cheating on his sexuality and not because Jenny Han got Lazy at this point in the books. Also when creating the show in the first place and knowing the full story she chose to make the MAIN cheater in the story bisexual knowing what he does i find is super sinister imo.

[@catherinemackay9143]

this is how i feel too!!

[@Beerrstt]

idk if u guys have been paying attention but jeremiah is way worse in the show than the books. at least in the books there was way more understanding to jeremiah and the fact he "never begrudged" conrad for being faster better and smarter bc thats just who he is and he loves his brother for that. in the show jeremiah is a downright asshole. jenny had the opportunity to make me want to like him even used that exact same quote i mentioned from the book in the show but took out any depth to his character. the cheating storyline is inevitable especially with how he is in the show it makes even more sense.

[@torijeri]

@@Beerrstt thats true and makes this 10x worse 😭

[@joshlira2110]

It's interesting, cause I'm in Fan Group page on Facebook for the "The Summer I turned Pretty" Series, and one user made a post one time about Jeremiah being Bisexual in the TV series, and in regards to how it might play out in season three from with the cheating incident that happened in the third book. The post was basically a theory that Jeremiah would actually go from Bisexual to Gay season three, and that he confesses to Belly that he's Gay and cheated on her with another fraternity brother romantically. MOST of people in the comment section slightly disagreed however, because not that we had a problem with Jeremiah being bisexual in the show, but the cheating with another girl was major plot point in the book. What we did theorize what COULD Potentially happen in season three, is while Jeremiah is dating Belly(even after the spring break incident), Jeremiah could be shown being caught being romantic with another fraternity brother in his chapter who might identify as either Gay or Bisexual, and Belly might also notice this(similar to what happened in season one with the party scene where Jeremiah made out with another guy). But the cheating with another girl during spring break would still happen, and that is what would probably set Belly off and cause her to snap at Jeremiah in season three. I'm not saying it's bad that Jenny made him Bisexual in the show, that's fine. But what my theory is season three is going to show Jeremiah cheating on both sides of the basketball court during the relationship(Possibly with one of the frat brothers), and then for the second person, it's the girl he meets in Mexico during spring break.

[@oliviawilde2672]

@@Beerrstt “idk if u guys have been paying attention but jeremiah is way worse in the show than the books.” YOU clearly haven’t been paying attention at all. The show version of Jeremiah is literally better in every way, and if you don’t see it you have a severe problem of media illiteracy or are straight up stupid. “at least in the books there was way more understanding to jeremiah and the fact he "never begrudged" conrad for being faster better and smarter bc thats just who he is and he loves his brother for that.” In the show Jeremiah literally has an inner monologue saying that he always admired Conrad and agreed with people who said he was better, so you are literally talking out of your ass. “in the show jeremiah is a downright asshole.” When? When he spends an entire year taking care of his dying mother, watching her wither away day by day alone? When he steps away so that Conrad can date Belly? When he immediately leaves everything and starts contacting people like crazy to find Conrad after he disappears? When he tells Conrad he wants to help him buy the house from Julia using BOTH their trusts? When he tries to help Conrad convince Adam to buy the house? When he encourages Conrad to go to Stanford and convinces everyone to have a study session so that he can pass his final? When he convinces Belly to have a real conversation with Conrad and immediately begs Conrad to be honest with her so that they can fix things, and promises to step away if she chooses to date him again? Throughout the entire season he is literally the most mature, sensible and helpful character in the love triangle. Even when he argues with Conrad he literally makes extremely valid points and calls Conrad out on his usual bullshit of hiding information from others and not taking their opinions into consideration when he makes decisions. “jenny had the opportunity to make me want to like him even used that exact same quote i mentioned from the book in the show but took out any depth to his character.” No, you’re just a delusional Conrad girlie who won’t like Jeremiah in any circumstances. But your delusions are irrelevant, the reality is that the show has added a lot of depth to Jere’s characterisation and made him the most likeable character in the love triangle by a mile. “the cheating storyline is inevitable especially with how he is in the show it makes even more sense.” You’re straight up insane. Show Jeremiah cheating on Belly would make even less sense than in the book, and it already made no sense in the book. Jeremiah is the only character who across both seasons hasn’t cheated on anyone. Steven made out with Taylor when he was dating Shayla, Conrad was going to kiss Belly when he was with Nicole, and Belly kissed Conrad despite having started a relationship with Jere just days before. There's literally nothing at all suggesting that he would cheat on Belly.

[@crystalaforetia2810]

Nah, we need to get rid of or heavily revise the Cabo/Lacie Barone plot because it would be very suspicious to have Jeremiah be labeled a cheater after Jenny decided to make him the only canonical bi character in the show (he was straight in the books). In the show, Jere has already been slut-shamed twice AND the rest of main characters have been involved in emotional cheating/overlapping situationships while facing far fewer consequences.

[@akutyam]

But he’s the only one running his mouth about his ‘conquests’ that’s the only reason people said anything about it to him in the series. Having a lot of partners is fine, bragging about them is kinda weird.

[@thandondlovu5392]

​@@akutyamAs opposed to the other characters who actively cheat on their Partners 🤔. Like Conrad cheating on Nicole with Belly. Belly cheating on Cam then on Jeremiah with Conrad. Steven cheating on Shayla with Taylor. But Jeremiah kissing a lot of people while he was single and talking about it makes him the potential cheater. Really, Okay.

[@lydiawalker0714]

I saw an interview clip once where Jenny mentioned that she writes scenes in her books out of order and then sorts them into a plot later. This book is an example of why that method doesn't always work. I rated each book in this series 3.5 stars when I read them in 2017. But now I would rate them much lower, especially the last one. 2 stars if I'm feeling generous.

[@NORA5693]

I read the books because of the TV show and I was honestly so confused about how Belly and Conrad could be the series' endgame because of Jenny Han's contradictory writing. All of the key romantic, happy moments of Conrad and Belly's relationship are literally in the past tense, while anytime Belly's POV talks about Jeremiah is always in the present and future tense. In fact, except for the one scene of Belly's and Conrad's wedding which happens in "real time", all their best moments happen "off stage" - even in the Epilogue when we find out about his love letters. Anyway, I agree with everything you said in your review (as usual lol) and I think they could make the plot work without turning Jeremiah into a cheater just by focusing on his emotional immaturity and trauma - honestly, he and Conrad should do joint family therapy sessions. I also hope they split book 3 into two seasons or do a bigger time jump so we get to see that growth and development happening for all of them like you mentioned. Love your content and take care! 🤗

Something Johnathan Decker said from Cinema therapy really sticks with me. Thats is why in movies and TV Girls have to change their partner into becoming a good boyfriend instead of just being with the person who has those qualities already.

I noticed a pattern with Han and other authors. Ok the first to all the boys is adorable. I love the first love element. Than she created the perfect love interest with John Ambrose and ruined it because of Lara Jean’s love for Peter. Peter was toxic in the books and it drove me nuts of how they were the end all be all. Same with Conrad and Belly. Why do these authors prefer toxic relationships. They are not fun. They are not sexy and I hate the misconception of healthy and safe relationships being boring and unsexy. No they are not because there are healthy boundaries. They communicate and spice things up for a while, etc. But no, people choose chaos and confusion because that is exciting, at least on TV and in books anyways.

I'd like to see Jere and Belly having a happy relationship, to see her go to Cabo with him and assert herself, this is my boyfriend, I'm not going to let him travel alone! to see the two having a romantic night, so that the scales balance and make the decision between the boys more interesting, something tangible. without going around endlessly like that damn necklace lol.
