Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty is back for Season 2, but I was not among the throngs of fans eagerly awaiting its return to television. The show had been sitting in my Amazon watchlist since the first season in 2022, and I’d just never gotten around to watching it. That changed recently when I had a rainy Saturday afternoon, an Amazon Prime subscription, and the remarkable fact that I was unspoiled on everything except that the show included a love triangle and a lot of Taylor Swift. Seven episodes later, I was all in on the show… and fairly convinced that I wasn’t rooting for the Fisher brother that the show intended in Season 1.
By the time I watched the first three available episodes of Season 2, I was more firmly than ever on one brother’s side over the other's, and not just when it comes to Belly. Then I checked #TheSummerITurnedPretty on Twitter for the first time and found that I seem to be in the minority when it comes to Conrad vs. Jeremiah. Still, I picked my side after going into the show with absolutely no preconceptions or expectations, so I’m sticking to it! Here’s why I’m Team Jeremiah over Team Conrad.
