‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 2: Breaking Down Which Moments From the 2nd Book Fans Are Most Excited to See

usmagazine.com:

Warning: This post contains spoilers for book 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy.  Back to Cousins! The Summer I Turned Pretty is returning for season 2 — and fans have a long list of moments they hope to see recreated from the novels.  “I approached it like, ‘What do I think are the most important elements of the story to keep and what do the fans care the most about?’” Jenny Han told Collider in July 2022. “I’m able to pull from all the emails and letters and comments I’ve seen over the years from fans, so that’s how we looked at this adaptation.

Like, ‘What do the original fans care most about?’”   For Han — who is both the author of the original book trilogy and showrunner of the TV adaptation — it’s also about finding a new story that will keep her engaged. “I ask, ‘What it’s going to be most fun and exciting to explore [for me?]’ Because you as a writer, have to feel like you’re doing something new,” she explained to the outlet.

The Summer I Turned Pretty premiered on Amazon Prime in July 2022 and centers on teenage girl Belly’s (Lola Tung) love triangle with Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) — brothers whom she’s spent every summer with growing up.

While season 1 ended with Belly and Conrad’s first kiss — much like the first novel — the next chapter brings a whole new dynamic for the main trio.
