Editor’s note: This story contains spoilers for Season 3 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”
Who does Belly choose? You’re about to find out.
Since the July 16 premiere of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” a coming-of-age romantic TV series based on the beloved book trilogy of the same name, viewers are dying to know which Fisher is endgame.
Will Belly (Lola Tung) stick with best friend and now fiancé Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), or risk everything, including her heart, for first love Conrad (Christopher Briney)?
The answer, unknown to those who haven’t read the books, was revealed at the end of “We’ll Always Have Summer,” the last book set in “The Summer I Turned Pretty” universe.
“I think I always knew I would be Belly Fisher one day,” bestselling author Jenny Han writes in “We’ll Always Have Summer.” “I just didn’t know it was going to happen like this.”
And she does make a choice, one that changes her present and her future forever. If you want to know which Fisher Belly chooses, read on.
Here’s how it ends.
What is ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ about?
“The Summer I Turned Pretty,” at its core, is a story about “first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer.” The show, in its third and final season, made its debut on Amazon Prime Video on July 16.
The story itself, which takes place over many a summer, hinges on a love triangle between Belly Conklin and brothers Conrad Fisher and Jeremiah Fisher as they navigate life, growing pains and one immeasurable loss.
The trio also happens to be childhood friends, the kind who have spent summer breaks together at the same place for as long as they can remember. Now, they’re all grown up.
Belly, who is currently a junior at Finch College, is feeling good about her future. She has found a friend in Anika, is still close with Taylor and has Jere by her side, just like she wanted. But when “core-shaking events” bring first love Conrad back into her life, she finds herself at a crossroads.
“(Belly) must decide which brother has her heart,” the show’s official logline reads. “Summer will never be the same…”
Who does Belly end up with?
Belly doesn’t choose Jeremiah or Conrad because in the end, she chooses herself.
Jeremiah and Belly do not stay together, or (ever) end up having a beach wedding in Cousins. Jere goes back to live at the fraternity house, and Belly lives with Anika in her sophomore year at Finch University. (FYI: Belly is a little older in the show than she is in “We’ll Always Have Summer.”)
Belly spends her junior year studying abroad in Spain, where she has “lots and lots of adventures.” Spain is also the place she hears from Conrad for the first time, following his spontaneous declaration and tearful goodbye in Cousins.
“Spain is where I got my first letter from him,” Han writes. “Real letters, written by his hand, not e-mails. I didn’t write him back, not at first, but they still came, once a month, every month. The first time I saw him again, it was another year, at my college graduation. And I just knew.”
And Belly does, just like Susannah hopes, end up with a young man, whose last name is Fisher.
“This is our start,” Han writes. “This is the moment it becomes real. We are married. We are infinite. Me and Conrad. The first boy I ever slow danced with, ever cried over. Ever loved.”
