Belly Conklin got a happy ending in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 as she settled the love triangle with the Fisher boys by decisively choosing Jeremiah, rejoined the volleyball team, and seemed ready to look to the future rather than continue dwelling on grief and loss. That said, there were moments in the Season 2 finale that set up some inevitable complications in Season 3. After rewatching that episode with my Amazon Prime subscription, I found myself having a big issue with Susannah.
Is it fair for me to have an issue with a character who is already dead? I think so, given that TSITP relies on flashbacks, the core characters have a long history together, and the origins of my issue go back to Season 1. So, let’s get into what happened and why I think Susannah – even though she was a loving and lovely person – has made the love triangle much worse for Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad!
