The Summer I Turned Pretty
It’s the end of an era—and the end of a dreamy, coming-of-age story that stole hearts around the world. The Summer I Turned Pretty, the hit Prime Video series based on Jenny Han’s beloved novels, has officially wrapped for good.
After three emotionally charged seasons filled with young love, heartbreak, family drama, and sun-kissed memories at Cousins Beach, the story has come to a close, leaving fans both satisfied and sentimental.
A Story That Grew Up With Its Audience
At its heart, The Summer I Turned Pretty was about more than just a love triangle. It followed Isabel “Belly” Conklin through her teenage years as she navigated complicated emotions, shifting friendships, grief, and the transformative power of summer.
From her innocent crush on Conrad Fisher to her deepening connection with Jeremiah, fans were invested not just in the romance, but in Belly’s journey toward self-discovery and growth.
What began as a sweet summer romance story matured into something deeper—exploring mental health, loss, and learning to stand on one’s own.
Fans React to the Final Episode
Social media exploded with reactions after the finale aired. Many fans expressed heartbreak over saying goodbye to characters they’ve followed for years, while others praised the series for staying true to the emotional tone of Jenny Han’s books.
“I feel like I grew up with Belly. This series gave me every emotion possible,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another added: “Cousins Beach will always be my escape. Thank you for the memories.”
The final season brought closure, tying up long-running storylines while leaving space for viewers to imagine what lies ahead for the characters—especially Belly.
What’s Next for the Cast and Creator?
While The Summer I Turned Pretty has ended, the stars of the show have new projects on the horizon. Lola Tung (Belly) is already gaining attention in the industry, while co-stars Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno are lining up roles across film and television.
As for Jenny Han, she’s far from done. After the massive success of To All the Boys and now The Summer I Turned Pretty, she’s quickly becoming one of the most influential voices in YA screen adaptations. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what she creates next.
Cousins Beach Will Always Be Home
Though the series is over, its legacy will live on—in the quotes fans still share, the soundtracks they replay endlessly, and the nostalgic longing for one perfect summer.
