We spend quite a bit of time with the moms and their friendship, with the series fleshing out these different types of love.
Having read the books, I actually like the adaptation more because we get to follow other characters and not just be rooted to Belly. She does well in showing us Belly’s vulnerabilities, especially around Conrad, and even when Belly does immature things, her performance helps make her relatable. This is Tung’s first acting role, and she completely knocks it out of the park. Belly feels her hopes deflate, and decides to explore other options instead. The flashbacks show us a different Conrad, one who was more exuberant and kinder. He quit football, starting drinking and smoking more, and is generally more taciturn. As her family makes the drive down to Cousins, she’s hoping with all her heart that Conrad sees the difference in her, and can return her affections. This summer, however, things are different.īelly’s matured quite a bit since they last visited, and she’s grown more confident of herself and her appearance. Because they basically grew up together, and the fact that she’s a couple of years younger than him, he’s always looked at her like a little sister. He was always kind to her, and as the years went by, her affection continued to grow for him. For as long as Belly can remember, her heart’s belonged to Conrad. Her mom Laurel (Jackie Chung) is best friends with Susannah Fisher (Rachel Blanchard), and Susannah has two sons, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Isabel Conklin, nicknamed Belly (Lola Tung), has been going to Cousins Beach every single summer of her life. This year, Amazon adapted another series of Jenny Han books: The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy, with the protagonist caught between her love for two brothers. We all know Jenny Han, writer of the To All the Boys trilogy of books, which became a series of movies on Netflix.
