Let’s not forget how belly said none of the boys at school looked at or paid attention to her but sis rly had THREE guys wanting her that summer…four if u count that gas station guy😭
@@youdontknowme999 I mean yeah I guess you are right. But to me, she couldn’t have changed THAT much from the end of school to the beginning of that summer…idk that’s just me tho :) that’s what I meant and I guess I should have clarified it.
@@youdontknowme999 conrad and Jeremiah were the only ones to see her differently before. Like conrad thought of her as a little sister and treated her such but always had a thing for her that he couldn’t expresses until now. Jeremiah always loved her as a best friend but again sees her as more just he couldn’t express that since she always was in love with conrad and it was obvious. So he waited till he had an opportunity
@@nuwanda6822no but fr belly is pretty, Lola tung the actor is fcking gorgeous but like Nicole IS A GODDESS like srsly belly doesn’t have any personality and so conrad broke up with a goddess to be with someone just “pretty”. Like he’s clearly only with belly cuz she’s pretty so why not nicoleeeee
can we talk about how belly has three guys falling to her feet even though she is nothing special? in the whole season, girly didn't have ONE meaningful conversation with any of them... like "belly you don't know the effect you have on people" yeah I don't know the effect she has on people either!!
dude elena gilbert at LEAST had 3 seasons of development before jumping to another brother 🤥 update: im seeing that a lot of u agree with me so i wanna throw there that maybe we can say that matt is cam cameron in this story
i'd read the books some years back and all i could think about was how this girl had no personality 😀 her entire personality was the summer house and her crush on conrad lmfao
It’s always I’m team this I’m team that but honestly belly is too immature for any relationship. Conrad literally led on Nicole the whole season and refused to break it off until he got caught and belly lying right to Nicole’s face about everything.
I feel sorry for her the most. I know some girls who been through somewhat like her and its heartbreaking. Being a rebound or a fling to them and them not seeing you as an official partner hurts.
I'm on like the 4th episode right now - Belly is immature, but it's kind of expected because this is her first time trying out romantic relationships. She's not good at them because she can't define her feelings well enough to say "Hey, I think you're cute, but I just don't return my feelings the same as you" to Cameron, or once she is in a relationship, to think "Before I do anything with someone else, I should talk to my current partner." I also think that she feels like she can do anything now that boys like her...? Er, that sounds weird, but like, when you feel invincible (ie. Belly's glow up brought up her confidence) when you feel like things are going your way for once? I do wonder how else Belly could've confessed her feelings to Conrad starting at the beginning of her stay, no extra drama. Well... once she found out that Conrad and Nicole were romantically close, and Nicole/the debutants began asking her about details about Conrad. In that situation Belly had to reply like normal or stay quiet because she can't exactly say, "I'm uncomfortable talking about this because I actually like Conrad too!" I don't know, I just like that this show shows a girl very clearly being messy in her first relationships so people can discuss what healthy relationships are - especially for people who are lost or have no idea (like me lol). This rant came out of nowhere but I just wanted to put down my thoughts, I'd love to hear what you think 😅🌻
Maybe I'm wrong but i read the books a long while ago and it is actually worst in the books, Belly just ghosted him while poor Cam kept texting her about when will they see each other and Belly quickly lost feelings for him (annd i don't remember a breakup)
fr she broke up with him just to go and date someone else *her crushes brother* even tho she knew she still liked Conrad which was the reason she broke up with cam
It was messed up how the Conrad and Belly dance see at the debutante ball was made a moment for them bc the only reason Jeremiah wasn’t there was bc he just found out his mom has cancer I felt like that should’ve been wrote differently
I enjoyed this show for the most part but what really bothered me was the underdevelopment of the characters, like I felt like Jeremiah confessing his love to her was out of nowhere, the whole episode where he was jealous of her getting close to Conrad felt out of nowhere. Idk, maybe I missed the earlier hints.
To be honest the first time I watched the show I felt like there was something there but I just assumed it was because he flirted with everyone so I was surprised when he confessed his love. But now I’ve re-watched the show a few times and now I can really see the earlier hints.
@@temellla. I shouldn’t have to read the book to understand the show more, they should’ve covered all the important details in the show. And I’m sure I’d still feel like Jeremiah liked her out of no where in the show if I read the book.
@@hannahh11 Understandable, but after rewatching a few scenes I still feel like him confessing his love was out of no where. For example there was a scene in I think the first episode, where Belly snuck out to go to the bonfire and Jeremiah told Steven that he’d watch her, then he leaves her alone literally like two seconds later to go hang out with other girls. Idk I just feel like if you like someone (and has always liked them like he said) then you wouldn’t leave them all by themselves at a party to go hang out with other girls, while knowing that they don’t know anyone at the party.
Belly: I want Conrad *kisses/starts a relationship wit cam Belly: I like Cam *kisses/starts a relationship wit Jeremiah Belly: I pick Jeremiah *kisses/ starts a entanglement wit Conrad
Cam was the SWEETEST boyfriend like even as a dumb 16 yr old i would have chosen a guy like Cam to be my boyfriend not someone who's always giving mixed signals like conrad
that’s the thing. she wants Conrad to choose her because she likes her and wants her there. i think what she said makes perfect sense. you can need something at a certain time but then no longer need it
@@jimena5651 that line is so cliché but the sentiment was there she wants to be chosen/pursued. Not just seeking her out like a need that needs to be met and discarded when no longer necessary you know. Like with need it kinda eliminates the whole choosing to to put in effecting as well. The phrase is a little misguided but I think the sentiment is something everyone has felt.
belly should learn more from shayla and nicole. The way nicole said to conrad "you didn't hurt me, you wasted my time" YASS QUEEN SLAAY big slay, giving me astrid leong moment. Love shayla and nicole more, shayla and nicole radiate the main character energies more than belly
She deserved NONE of them!! 1. Cam was the perfect guy and so caring!! 2. the Jeremiah one was random like it had no back story until the episode they kissed! 3. Connie wasn't even an F-boy, he just had a lot on his plate. SHE MESSED WITH THE HEARTS OF 3 GUYS IN ONE SUMMER.... Edit: sorry for the belly stans I offended 🫡
i think she cheated on all 3 HAHAHAH. first she practically cheated on cam with that almost kiss with conrad. then she kisses jeremiah like the next day. then she cheats on jeremiah with conrad.
No one was her bf so she cheated on no one. It feels like no one actually understands exclusivity and labels here. Cam wasn't her bf they just dated. Jeremiah wasn't her bf either they just kissed and went to a dance and Conrad wasn't even close to being her anything. Sheesh it's like all you ppl are delusional and don't actually understand how romantic relationships work... 🤨😐
@@yasminetarr3162 that’s what i thought first but watching the videos on RUclips and im thinking of rewatching the show, he’s overly nice and you can tell he likes her
*Conrad making the bed* belly: iS tHiS wHaT iT wOuLd Be LiKe...If We WeRe OlDeR..mE aNd CoNrAd ToGeThEr? Me: gurl chill out he's just making the bed....
yall im so sorry I cannot take this series seriously, the main character's name is literally belly and in any serious situation, whenever someone says "belly" I just bust out laughing LMFAO
Belly: I am not that pretty, I envy Taylor because she got the attention of boys in our school Also Belly: Flirting and playing the feelings of three different guys during summer (and take note, two of them are brothers!)
I did like the show. But if I’m going to be honest, belly was one of the most frustrating characters, because she just couldn’t make up her mind. She liked Conrad well dating Cam (and it was VERY obvious that she did. So obvious that Cam ended up noticing), then broke up with him because she almost kissed Conrad?! Which, was all for nothing, since she ended up kissing Jeremiah instead. I found that really surprising and confusing since Jeremiah liking her came out of no where, and was not shown at all in the episodes before except for when he saw belly and Conrad almost kiss. BUT well her and Jeremiah are a thing she STILL. LIKES. CONRAD. I feel like she just told Jeremiah that she felt the same way because she now no longer had Cam or Conrad, and she wanted to rub it in Conrad’s face that she had “moved on”. Idk, that’s just my opinion personally. Sorry that was a lot lol
it was obvious from the first scene where belly steps out of the car that jeremiah is in love with her, and throughout the show u can definitely tell by all the flirting and how he cares for her, all the longing looks he gives her, his jealously when she hangs out with cam or conrad
Agree entirely. Also, if she was a GOOD person, she would have told Jeremiah that she isn't ready for anything before she is fully sure she was over Conrad. Leading someone on jsut because they give you attention is the number one toxic trait of all. Also, can I just say how throughout the entire fucking show Belly does not do a SINGLE good thing for Suzanah, her mom, or ANYONE for that matter other than being bothered to hoe around for no fucking reason. What is this even?
@@amirajoy892 Truth! The flirting was absolutely there especially if you re-watch. He was just real low-key charming about it. Plus he has rep for being a flirt so she and everyone thought nothing of it. Jeremiah knows how to get what he wants on the low lol…I love that boy!
Ngl Belly was a very frustrating character for me sometimes lol but looking back at 16 year old me I get it lol I was impulsive and made some really stupid choices back then too. I realized I was being too harsh on Belly's character. The whole point of this series is to show kids growing up, and Belly has a long way to go. She's the perfect embodiment of your average teen - selfish, impulsive, fickle, and insecure. Should she take accountability for her actions? Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that she has a lot of growing up to do.
@@kaylee8175 @Kaylee I agree with you on this. Especially looking back, entirely so. For me personally I just wish the whole arc with Jeremiah wasn't so random. It feels like she jumps at anyone who offers, so we are missing the intensity of that thing for Conrad. But then again, teenage impulses haha
I love at the end where Conrad is saying that absolutely cringy and cheesy line and you can see you like the light in his eyes die as he realizes how awkward what he is saying is.
@@grishmabk4705 probably cuz of the awkwardness level the lines have to be realistic in order for good acting and the lines were not realistic and cheesy
she was literally trying to figure out her own feelings it’s so embarrassing how y’all always villainize the main girl and make every guy seem innocent and perfect ugh
@@lamb9770 i said nothing about the guys though… they have their own flaws. if she needed to figure out her feelings, she shouldn’t try to get in a relationship with 3 different guys she barely knows in the span of one summer lol. not to mention two are literally brothers lmao
@@morganleegarner she’s like 15 and just discovering her sexuality and feelings for boys. pretty much all of those guys were older than her too. literally being a teenager is about figuring this kind of stuff out 💀 she also can do whatever tf she wants because she wasn’t actually dating them. it was summer and she was single. didn’t anyone tell you slt shaming ain’t cute?
lmao. nobody is slut shaming. if a guy was the main character and he led three great girls on everyone would be pissed. also the writers did a terrible job of giving her a personality. think you what but this movie just had so many red flags imo
@@morganleegarner i think you might just have some internalized misogyny 😭 she definitely has a lot of personality and your comments are the definition of slt shaming sorry 😕
The relationships in this show are so random and toxic. I'd rather belly focus on herself and not act like she's dying for male attention and the boys could be less weird and aggressive.
The book does a better job of fleshi g things out. I went i to it thinking it was a wish fulfillment y/n story but it does show how in the past boys in her life treated her like she didnt exist based on her looks and a lot of the relationships in the book was grappling with the sudden change in behavior from guys in general. She doesnt know how to date, she doesnt know whose trying to take advantage of her, shes trying to make new friends but its awkward and bad not everyone falls at her feet cause shes pretty in the books. There was depth there!!! But the show focuses on the more romantic parts
As a person who likes to settle for the simple option, Cam would be my choice. He's sweet, cnsiderate, like her more than she likes him, tbh he's perfect. But she had to dumb him for two brothers who fight over her like she's a trophy and not a human being.
at first i was confused when jer shot the firework, then i watched RUclips and caught all the hints. tbh before i watched it i didn’t even know it was a love triangle/square. but the point the writers are making is we were all too busy being focused on Conrad with belly to notice jer has liked her since forever. he feels about her how she feels about Conrad. & she never noticed bc she was in love with Conrad.
idk i rewatched again after i finished it so i could try to notice more things i didn’t see before and i don’t understand why when belly was with cam jer wasn’t jealos but as soon as she got with conrad he suddenly wanted her. it seems kind of like a weird competition between them
But like no offense Jer is jealous of everything his brother has. Its evident. Conrad never dated again after belly. She was his other half. It just took them a while to realize it
@@frankiejoanne8420 I actually noticed a few moments when he was jealous of Cam. But I could be reading too much into it because I'm a Jelly stan lol. When he met Cam, he was being super protective of Belly when she tried to ride home with Cam which can also be seen as like big brother protection but also the way he teased him by calling him Cam Cameron and how he watched them as Cam asked her to go whale watching in the morning. Belly's birthday dinner scene when he kept giving Cam a hard time about not liking meat while Belly does. He even gave them a weird look before he starts teasing Cam. The karaoke scene at the party because he noticed Cam and Belly were laughing and being cute, he was like uh no this will not do and start singing to distract them from each other. His jealousy was just not as aggressive as it was with her and Conrad because he probably didn't see Cam as too much as a threat. He knew that Belly and Conrad was much more intense so he had to be more aggressive and petty when it came to them. What do you think of my interpretations? Do you agree? 😄
SOOOOOOO under developed!!!!!!!!! Like the only reason they both started liking her was for her looks. But with the flashbacks, it does show Conrad always had a soft spot for her… idk how guys fall in love but I guess 90% of it is looks acc. To this series. To be flirting the FIRST DAY YOU SEE HER?????
@@delancey3181 yea theres acc been studies and shit that the one thing guys look for in a partner is physical attraction/beauty ig it's just an absolute need for biological males to reproduce/settle down, while looks play a part in a female's attraction to a male as well, the absolute need for biological females to reproduce/settle down, is financial security/protection of some sort and this shit predates back when homosapiens aint even exist. The same behaviour was exhibited in, shit even mammals/animals, like how a male animal often has to fight another male animal to be able to reproduce with a female animal, to show that he's rightfully succeeded in winning her over and can provide security for her. Not saying all guys only look at looks, and girls only look at money, people can obv be diff, but its just our biological initial drive in our brains ig.
1:42 FKIN LEGIT 😭😭😭. Homegirl has clear ass skin, THREE hot boys throwing themselves at her and spends her summers at a luxury beach house, all at SIXTEEN, and my single, broke, acne covered 23 y/o ass CANNOT RELATE 🤧🤧🤧🤧😩😩😩😩
If you felt confused by the show at all or felt it lacked something I’d recommend reading the books. Some warnings tho: -you will probably like Conrad less -no debutant ball -honestly forgot the rest but it’s definitely different but I think it is at least more developed
@@ambershoba personally i think reading the books ruined the show for me just cause i know it ends horribly for jer stans and jelly shippers but it can happen both ways i suppose tbh it really depends on who you ship belly with because if i didnt read the books i wouldve went into the show unbiased instead of attached to jeremiah
I feel like they didn’t develop Jeremiah enough like for season 1 it should’ve been split equally with Belly love interest but they kinda made it all about Conrad and didn’t really give no one else a chance and the development they gave him most of it was for Jeremiah in the book I just felt like they wrote it so Conrad can be seen as the sole person to root for
I kinda see why they did it, cause in the books made me not like Conrad at all and then the 3 book felt like plot contrivances to make her end up with Conrad imo. So maybe they wanted to make Conrad more root-able. Cause from what I remember I wasn’t rooting for Conrad I’m for the first 2 books that’s for sure
@@shanzoni1200 oh i agree 100%. i feel like in the book he was definitely the bad boy love interest and totally not likable, and they tried to play into the bad boy trope by making him, as you said, 'root-able' in this
@@shanzoni1200 True but Jeremiah was also super adorable in this and Converted a lot of people to team Jelly lol, he also got more kisses and thus the best kiss in the show (pool kiss) so I think they’re trying to make them even
this show was messy as hell... i found none of the main characters likable besides the two mothers and a few sides (shayla & nicole ily). belly was just doing a whole lot of nothing with these boys, conrad needs to stop with this mysterious reserved bad boy persona and work on his personal issues, and jeremiah??? well, i actually loved him so far, but i seriously wish they did more with his character instead of throwing him into belly's drama. never read the books, but i can already tell she's gonna end up with conrad. why? no clue, but i'm probably not gonna stick around for the second season. or maybe i will. eh, who knows at this point
My exact thoughts. I ended dropping the show cause I couldn’t handle it. And I was really lookin forward to this show because people kept hyping but gollyyyy nty
Conrad was so bipolar. One minute he acts like he wants nothing to do with Belly, then all of a sudden he wants to hang out or crack jokes with her. He literally was excited to see her when she first came to the beach house and they played in the pool, but then at the beach bash he acted stuck up and gave her side glares the next minute!!
See now, this is the reason I couldn't read teen romance books with a girl being in love with someone else and dating some other guy who doesn't deserve to be stepped upon. Why can't they just discover themselves before being in a relationship
no bc i totally get shes a teenager but she seriously makes everything about her and does not care about anyones feelings unless it’s conrad and not even, and no other character in the show acknowledges that, so it doesn’t feel like they’re making her like that on purpose which makes her very unlikeable as a character
I’m sorry but how can you like Jer and then want him with someone that treats him like the second option all the time? Like he deserves better tbh, he will never be enough for Belly and everyone who watched the series knows it.
@@julietruong6525 in the book i can understand more why people ship her with Jer but not in the serie, from the beginning Conrad is everything for Belly but yeah both brothers deserve better at the end
Ya Belly always Loved Conrad more, it seems a bit rude if her to pretend almost to like Jere and then just kiss Conrad at the end I mean I’m team Conrad but it felt to me like Belly was using Jere and he deserves someone who will love him
@@ishmaelstylinson5434 oh 100%, im team conrad by the way. My comment was more than all for team jer because it’s so weird to me how they can ship them together with all that in mind 🥴
can we talk about how : 1. Conrad is literally the representation of young leo dicaprio. 2. Jeremiah and Cameron deserved way better. No because if belly and Conrad end up together then it’ll be like every movie, like the girl likes the bad boy and the falls for the nice guy and then DITCHES and breaks the nice guys heart only to be with the bad boy 💀
i mean i haven’t read the books but conrad isn’t even a badboy ?? or maybe my definition of badboy is just messed up thanks to my early teens that i spent on wattpad but … i just don’t see him as one. he’s closed up, unsure what to do with his feelings for belly and with a lot on his plate but that doesn’t make him a badboy imo.
Honestly the way that Jeremiah is all over Belly constantly was a big hint but he always just bounced around so it seemed like it was just being meaninglessly friendly
You’re definitely not the only one lol I’m home all the time with no love interests or friends whatsoever all year round and would absolutely kill to spend just one summer living belly’s life
I thought Jere had a crush on Steven. Especially with how he advised him to stay away from Shayla. Literally where did the Belly crush come from? He did throw a few glances/smiles her way but they looked friendly/younger siblingy and not brooding like Conrad's, LOL.
@@emixxixx3001 Wouldn't it be weird. Like liking both the siblings. I am bisexual too and think it would be weird to have a crush on both the sister and the brother haha. But makes sense. Since the show has steered away from the book plot quite a bit, I hope they do something fun with his character in the upcoming seasons.
@@djenae2852 Oh yeah fair enough but that also brings me to "the Jelly storyline was random as hell!!" It was like, Belly knew that Jere was a good partner in theory so she just compromised? Coz literally where did that kiss come from. It definitely felt like reaching for the stars settling for the moon type LOL 😆😆
‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ is what I wanted when I was 16 but couldn’t because shortage of the gays and theys. Also, by the time hoeing Season came around, COVID-19 happened lol
I read the book and I just wanted to reach through the pages and strangle Belly while yelling "GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING" the whole time Also, both Jeremiah and Cam Cameron deserved MUCH better
I got the book but didn't read it yet, I genuinely thought and expected Jere and Belly to happened from the start. The way Belly so comforted around him, how much he cared about her and they talked so naturally made me think they could have a healthy relationship together, so
their relationship was too rushed on the show, and i get it you can take their affection as "flirting" when honestly his feelings for her came out nowhere, no context nothing. and belly doesn't really even like him, he's just the only one giving her attention
I'm just gonna clear it up and tell everyone that Jeremiah loved belly before she "turned pretty", he was excited to see her before she got out of the car in the books. Unsaid for Conrad.
@@exaggeratedswagger7485 tru im 16 i could fs pass for a 18 yo, and im short asl like 5'4 1/2 but i still get told i look older than my actual age. sucks cause it invites a lot of predators/creeps :(
i think she's a player. she broke up with Cameron for a reason even tho he was great towards her but she broke up with him cause she knew Conrad will always be the one she likes. but it doesn't make sense breaking up with cam just to go and start something with Jeremiah not to mention him being her crushes sibling
💀 exactly, I think the most enjoyable characters were basically the side characters (the Deb girls and cam Cameron [also him being the best out of the other 2 for belly imo lmao] and the 2 moms). It didn't sit right with me seeing homeboy put in alot of effort to comfort and make her happy and she wasn't even looking his way, shit even from the start to "distance" herself from Conrad
EXACTLY. It’s stupid that she broke up with cam when she still hasn’t told Conrad her feelings. Imagine her breaking up with cam and confessing her feelings to Conrad just to get rejected💀 like that would’ve been SUPERRR embarrassing
@@shrimp3480 i think her breaking up with cam was good cuz that way she didn't lead him on that much and when she realized she was still not over Conrad she broke up with him which is good. but to go and date someone else when she still wasn't over Conrad *WHICH IS THE REASON SHE BROKE UP WITH CAM* is stupid and selfish of her
i hate her character ngl,, she played with everyone and all the guys all had their own charms that made them stand out and she just played with their hearts :(( anyway since she aint taking jeremiah, I will 😚
Conrad. She’s always going to be in love with him no matter what so there’s just no way for her to truly give herself to Jeremiah anyways. Plus he’s kinda too good and sweet for her. Her and Conrad match each other in basically every way tbh
This is the parasocial relationship content I needed. I have no one to join me in lovably snark at the this half baked but mildly entertaining show. It’s like edit goldmine
I was Team Cameron but bruh I don't support Belly. She literally kissed and toyed with her and everyone's heart. Her best friend tolerated her too. I commend Nicole from confronting Belly. If I turn pretty, I wouldn't go kiss every close friend I have and I wouldn't break Cam's heart.
Idk as someone who LOVES the books I felt like it was obvious that Jer had a thing for belly… but maybe that’s just me expecting the plot line🥴 the books didn’t really develop that relationship either because she was always so in love with Conrad!
what team are y’all on 💀
Jeremiah
Team jelly
team? broski miss girl be moving on from guys faster than starlord could french fry peter 💀

The fact that Belly has the nerve to act all angry with all the boys when she literally cheated on all of them.
She's the worst, I hate her character and this show... I've dropped it because i can't take it anymore 😂

That is so true, I stopped reading them due to the same reason.
Can anybody tell me if Jeremiah cheated? Or Conrad?
It’s always I’m team this I’m team that but honestly belly is too immature for any relationship. Conrad literally led on Nicole the whole season and refused to break it off until he got caught and belly lying right to Nicole’s face about everything.
I agree! Nicole deserves better!
I feel sorry for her the most. I know some girls who been through somewhat like her and its heartbreaking. Being a rebound or a fling to them and them not seeing you as an official partner hurts.
yesssss omg
I'm on like the 4th episode right now - Belly is immature, but it's kind of expected because this is her first time trying out romantic relationships. She's not good at them because she can't define her feelings well enough to say "Hey, I think you're cute, but I just don't return my feelings the same as you" to Cameron, or once she is in a relationship, to think "Before I do anything with someone else, I should talk to my current partner." I also think that she feels like she can do anything now that boys like her...? Er, that sounds weird, but like, when you feel invincible (ie. Belly's glow up brought up her confidence) when you feel like things are going your way for once?
I do wonder how else Belly could've confessed her feelings to Conrad starting at the beginning of her stay, no extra drama. Well... once she found out that Conrad and Nicole were romantically close, and Nicole/the debutants began asking her about details about Conrad. In that situation Belly had to reply like normal or stay quiet because she can't exactly say, "I'm uncomfortable talking about this because I actually like Conrad too!" I don't know, I just like that this show shows a girl very clearly being messy in her first relationships so people can discuss what healthy relationships are - especially for people who are lost or have no idea (like me lol). This rant came out of nowhere but I just wanted to put down my thoughts, I'd love to hear what you think 😅🌻

Maybe I'm wrong but i read the books a long while ago and it is actually worst in the books, Belly just ghosted him while poor Cam kept texting her about when will they see each other and Belly quickly lost feelings for him (annd i don't remember a breakup)
she did not deserve him fr 😔
was hoping for CamCameron x Jeremiah love story
fr she broke up with him just to go and date someone else *her crushes brother* even tho she knew she still liked Conrad which was the reason she broke up with cam
It was messed up how the Conrad and Belly dance see at the debutante ball was made a moment for them bc the only reason Jeremiah wasn’t there was bc he just found out his mom has cancer I felt like that should’ve been wrote differently
ik and I was cringing when Jeremiah came back and saw them like he just came back from crying and now he sees that.. 💀
yes like she danced with conrad and couldn't wait for jere when she didn't even know what he was going through :((
@@hadley9418 the dance was abt to start so she couldn’t really wait for her dance to come and stall everybody
Exactly! That made me so mad! And she was suddenly so happy and romantic with Conrad when she was angry at him and happy with Jeremiah minutes ago
did him so dirty
tbh she deserves to end up with NO ONE this video made me realize that even more lmaooo
I enjoyed this show for the most part but what really bothered me was the underdevelopment of the characters, like I felt like Jeremiah confessing his love to her was out of nowhere, the whole episode where he was jealous of her getting close to Conrad felt out of nowhere. Idk, maybe I missed the earlier hints.
exactly
this is true but the more i see the RUclips videos i see more earlier hints
To be honest the first time I watched the show I felt like there was something there but I just assumed it was because he flirted with everyone so I was surprised when he confessed his love. But now I’ve re-watched the show a few times and now I can really see the earlier hints.
@@temellla. I shouldn’t have to read the book to understand the show more, they should’ve covered all the important details in the show. And I’m sure I’d still feel like Jeremiah liked her out of no where in the show if I read the book.
@@hannahh11 Understandable, but after rewatching a few scenes I still feel like him confessing his love was out of no where. For example there was a scene in I think the first episode, where Belly snuck out to go to the bonfire and Jeremiah told Steven that he’d watch her, then he leaves her alone literally like two seconds later to go hang out with other girls. Idk I just feel like if you like someone (and has always liked them like he said) then you wouldn’t leave them all by themselves at a party to go hang out with other girls, while knowing that they don’t know anyone at the party.
Belly: I want Conrad
*kisses/starts a relationship wit cam
Belly: I like Cam
*kisses/starts a relationship wit Jeremiah
Belly: I pick Jeremiah
*kisses/ starts a entanglement wit Conrad
Sums the series up perfectly
Basically what belly did these 7 episodes
Yup pretty much it
Confuse soul
I can never read the word entanglement the same after the Jada situation 😭😭😭
what triggers me the most is when belly says that "a piece of my heart still beats for his brother". Like bro no one forced her to be with jeremiah.

I swear, my poor guy Cameron. He couldn't catch a damn break. The way she led him on for 3 or 4 episodes doesn't sit right with me.
I agree sm, Poor Cam, he was so sweet :(
Yea, I felt so bad. I really liked him.
WoUlD yOu LikE to Go FoR a RiDe? *dead silence*, *chit chatting with other girls proceeds*
I felt like their relationship just seemed so much more realistic and less cliché than the fun vs mysterious brother love triangle
Cam was the SWEETEST boyfriend like even as a dumb 16 yr old i would have chosen a guy like Cam to be my boyfriend not someone who's always giving mixed signals like conrad
wanting is just wanting something. and needing is like you can’t live without it. oh poor girl…
right like….
that’s the thing. she wants Conrad to choose her because she likes her and wants her there. i think what she said makes perfect sense. you can need something at a certain time but then no longer need it
@@jimena5651 that line is so cliché but the sentiment was there she wants to be chosen/pursued. Not just seeking her out like a need that needs to be met and discarded when no longer necessary you know. Like with need it kinda eliminates the whole choosing to to put in effecting as well. The phrase is a little misguided but I think the sentiment is something everyone has felt.
fr. belly was getting on my nerves the whole show and i still don't get how everyone is chill with it💀
like needing is better in a way but lke e wants/needs to be with u and u want o aswell so go on
belly should learn more from shayla and nicole. The way nicole said to conrad "you didn't hurt me, you wasted my time" YASS QUEEN SLAAY big slay, giving me astrid leong moment. Love shayla and nicole more, shayla and nicole radiate the main character energies more than belly

Edit: sorry for the belly stans I offended 🫡
Oof.. not one lie told 😭😭😭
i think she cheated on all 3 HAHAHAH. first she practically cheated on cam with that almost kiss with conrad. then she kisses jeremiah like the next day. then she cheats on jeremiah with conrad.
She can’t cheat on a guy if they never established an exclusive relationship together lol wut have you guys even dated before
@@cookiesarelikecream erm if ur dating someone and u go and kiss someone else it’s cheating idk what fucked up logic you have but it’s not normal babe
No one was her bf so she cheated on no one. It feels like no one actually understands exclusivity and labels here. Cam wasn't her bf they just dated. Jeremiah wasn't her bf either they just kissed and went to a dance and Conrad wasn't even close to being her anything.

it’s so adorable though!
he gives me the ick but it’s okay
I am tho
3:19 belly’s whole personality 😭😭
Good one lol
I did like the show. But if I’m going to be honest, belly was one of the most frustrating characters, because she just couldn’t make up her mind. She liked Conrad well dating Cam (and it was VERY obvious that she did. So obvious that Cam ended up noticing), then broke up with him because she almost kissed Conrad?! Which, was all for nothing, since she ended up kissing Jeremiah instead. I found that really surprising and confusing since Jeremiah liking her came out of no where, and was not shown at all in the episodes before except for when he saw belly and Conrad almost kiss. BUT well her and Jeremiah are a thing she STILL. LIKES. CONRAD. I feel like she just told Jeremiah that she felt the same way because she now no longer had Cam or Conrad, and she wanted to rub it in Conrad’s face that she had “moved on”. Idk, that’s just my opinion personally.
Sorry that was a lot lol
it was obvious from the first scene where belly steps out of the car that jeremiah is in love with her, and throughout the show u can definitely tell by all the flirting and how he cares for her, all the longing looks he gives her, his jealously when she hangs out with cam or conrad
Agree entirely. Also, if she was a GOOD person, she would have told Jeremiah that she isn't ready for anything before she is fully sure she was over Conrad. Leading someone on jsut because they give you attention is the number one toxic trait of all. Also, can I just say how throughout the entire fucking show Belly does not do a SINGLE good thing for Suzanah, her mom, or ANYONE for that matter other than being bothered to hoe around for no fucking reason. What is this even?
@@amirajoy892 Truth! The flirting was absolutely there especially if you re-watch. He was just real low-key charming about it. Plus he has rep for being a flirt so she and everyone thought nothing of it. Jeremiah knows how to get what he wants on the low lol…I love that boy!
Ngl Belly was a very frustrating character for me sometimes lol but looking back at 16 year old me I get it lol I was impulsive and made some really stupid choices back then too. I realized I was being too harsh on Belly's character. The whole point of this series is to show kids growing up, and Belly has a long way to go. She's the perfect embodiment of your average teen - selfish, impulsive, fickle, and insecure. Should she take accountability for her actions? Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that she has a lot of growing up to do.
@@kaylee8175 @Kaylee I agree with you on this. Especially looking back, entirely so. For me personally I just wish the whole arc with Jeremiah wasn't so random. It feels like she jumps at anyone who offers, so we are missing the intensity of that thing for Conrad. But then again, teenage impulses haha
I love at the end where Conrad is saying that absolutely cringy and cheesy line and you can see you like the light in his eyes die as he realizes how awkward what he is saying is.
ngl the actor sorta went off in that scene
What scene?
Waitnwhat scene?

she was literally trying to figure out her own feelings it’s so embarrassing how y’all always villainize the main girl and make every guy seem innocent and perfect ugh
@@lamb9770 i said nothing about the guys though… they have their own flaws. if she needed to figure out her feelings, she shouldn’t try to get in a relationship with 3 different guys she barely knows in the span of one summer lol. not to mention two are literally brothers lmao
@@morganleegarner she’s like 15 and just discovering her sexuality and feelings for boys. pretty much all of those guys were older than her too. literally being a teenager is about figuring this kind of stuff out 💀 she also can do whatever tf she wants because she wasn’t actually dating them. it was summer and she was single. didn’t anyone tell you slt shaming ain’t cute?

belly and conrad belong together cuz both their personalities are mid💀 jeremiah and cam deserve better
In the books my opinion was "they are both disgusting people. They deserve eachother." I agree for the show tho hahahhaa

@@minaveljovic9662 how is conrad disgusting ? jeremiah is the one that cheated and was a fraternity boy and beat up his own brother then disowned him
The relationships in this show are so random and toxic. I'd rather belly focus on herself and not act like she's dying for male attention and the boys could be less weird and aggressive.
then there'll be no story if that's the case
Totally agreed 😂 like there are many things teens wants to do than date. Why is she so hell bent of getting a boyfriend?
@@Tooba-K123 she’s a self insert for Jenny Han that’s why 😭
@@wholethedogsout880 literally the whole show felt like a self insert
The book does a better job of fleshi g things out. I went i to it thinking it was a wish fulfillment y/n story but it does show how in the past boys in her life treated her like she didnt exist based on her looks and a lot of the relationships in the book was grappling with the sudden change in behavior from guys in general. She doesnt know how to date, she doesnt know whose trying to take advantage of her, shes trying to make new friends but its awkward and bad not everyone falls at her feet cause shes pretty in the books. There was depth there!!! But the show focuses on the more romantic parts
As a person who likes to settle for the simple option, Cam would be my choice. He's sweet, cnsiderate, like her more than she likes him, tbh he's perfect. But she had to dumb him for two brothers who fight over her like she's a trophy and not a human being.
at first i was confused when jer shot the firework, then i watched RUclips and caught all the hints. tbh before i watched it i didn’t even know it was a love triangle/square. but the point the writers are making is we were all too busy being focused on Conrad with belly to notice jer has liked her since forever. he feels about her how she feels about Conrad. & she never noticed bc she was in love with Conrad.
Chile this ☝🏾cause I was like oh no Jere I know this overly happy supportive friend energy to a long time crush. There were lots of hints/side glances
Yeah i think it was intentional to give the viewers bellys pov but idk
idk i rewatched again after i finished it so i could try to notice more things i didn’t see before and i don’t understand why when belly was with cam jer wasn’t jealos but as soon as she got with conrad he suddenly wanted her. it seems kind of like a weird competition between them
But like no offense Jer is jealous of everything his brother has. Its evident. Conrad never dated again after belly. She was his other half. It just took them a while to realize it
@@frankiejoanne8420 I actually noticed a few moments when he was jealous of Cam. But I could be reading too much into it because I'm a Jelly stan lol.
When he met Cam, he was being super protective of Belly when she tried to ride home with Cam which can also be seen as like big brother protection but also the way he teased him by calling him Cam Cameron and how he watched them as Cam asked her to go whale watching in the morning.
Belly's birthday dinner scene when he kept giving Cam a hard time about not liking meat while Belly does. He even gave them a weird look before he starts teasing Cam.
The karaoke scene at the party because he noticed Cam and Belly were laughing and being cute, he was like uh no this will not do and start singing to distract them from each other.
His jealousy was just not as aggressive as it was with her and Conrad because he probably didn't see Cam as too much as a threat. He knew that Belly and Conrad was much more intense so he had to be more aggressive and petty when it came to them.
What do you think of my interpretations? Do you agree? 😄
SOOOOOOO under developed!!!!!!!!! Like the only reason they both started liking her was for her looks. But with the flashbacks, it does show Conrad always had a soft spot for her… idk how guys fall in love but I guess 90% of it is looks acc. To this series. To be flirting the FIRST DAY YOU SEE HER?????
I won’t lie looks are what gets my attention first. There’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is dating just for looks.
Honestly guys just date for looks so it makes more realistic I guess lol
@@delancey3181 yea theres acc been studies and shit that the one thing guys look for in a partner is physical attraction/beauty ig it's just an absolute need for biological males to reproduce/settle down, while looks play a part in a female's attraction to a male as well, the absolute need for biological females to reproduce/settle down, is financial security/protection of some sort and this shit predates back when homosapiens aint even exist. The same behaviour was exhibited in, shit even mammals/animals, like how a male animal often has to fight another male animal to be able to reproduce with a female animal, to show that he's rightfully succeeded in winning her over and can provide security for her. Not saying all guys only look at looks, and girls only look at money, people can obv be diff, but its just our biological initial drive in our brains ig.
the entire plot was just so rushed
and people have the AUDACITY to say conrad only liked belly when she turned “pretty” 🤨 like did they even watch the show LMAO

If you felt confused by the show at all or felt it lacked something I’d recommend reading the books. Some warnings tho:
-you will probably like Conrad less
-no debutant ball
-honestly forgot the rest but it’s definitely different but I think it is at least more developed
-they completely botched jeremiahs character arc in the last book to make conrad seem more likeable

I feel like they didn’t develop Jeremiah enough like for season 1 it should’ve been split equally with Belly love interest but they kinda made it all about Conrad and didn’t really give no one else a chance and the development they gave him most of it was for Jeremiah in the book I just felt like they wrote it so Conrad can be seen as the sole person to root for
I kinda see why they did it, cause in the books made me not like Conrad at all and then the 3 book felt like plot contrivances to make her end up with Conrad imo. So maybe they wanted to make Conrad more root-able. Cause from what I remember I wasn’t rooting for Conrad I’m for the first 2 books that’s for sure

Pls what the fuck was that
😭😭😭
FR LIKE TF????
What was it?
this show was messy as hell... i found none of the main characters likable besides the two mothers and a few sides (shayla & nicole ily). belly was just doing a whole lot of nothing with these boys, conrad needs to stop with this mysterious reserved bad boy persona and work on his personal issues, and jeremiah??? well, i actually loved him so far, but i seriously wish they did more with his character instead of throwing him into belly's drama. never read the books, but i can already tell she's gonna end up with conrad. why? no clue, but i'm probably not gonna stick around for the second season. or maybe i will. eh, who knows at this point
Most of the characters are annoying asf especially belly and conrad
My exact thoughts. I ended dropping the show cause I couldn’t handle it. And I was really lookin forward to this show because people kept hyping but gollyyyy nty
100% agree with you
well jenny han said she might switched it up and let jeremiah and belly end up together but in the books she ends up with conrad
Conrad was so bipolar. One minute he acts like he wants nothing to do with Belly, then all of a sudden he wants to hang out or crack jokes with her. He literally was excited to see her when she first came to the beach house and they played in the pool, but then at the beach bash he acted stuck up and gave her side glares the next minute!!
0:37 missed joke opportunity: "Cam we leave"
See now, this is the reason I couldn't read teen romance books with a girl being in love with someone else and dating some other guy who doesn't deserve to be stepped upon. Why can't they just discover themselves before being in a relationship
Tell me about it, the only reason I hate teen romance.
Yup thats precisely why I absolutely hate Love Triangles
Because that’s how most girls act these days.
same it pisses me off to no end
Tbh, this
Finally someone who understands.
I reacted to the teaser and already I was annoyed by her and everyone was like “she’s growing up”
no bc i totally get shes a teenager but she seriously makes everything about her and does not care about anyones feelings unless it’s conrad and not even, and no other character in the show acknowledges that, so it doesn’t feel like they’re making her like that on purpose which makes her very unlikeable as a character
How is she so oblivious.
If Jeremiah remotely showed any interest in me i would drop everything and go. Like. GIRL STOP
I’m sorry but how can you like Jer and then want him with someone that treats him like the second option all the time? Like he deserves better tbh, he will never be enough for Belly and everyone who watched the series knows it.
Never read the series but I can totally see Belly dropping him when Conrad just gives her the time of the day. Cam and Jer deserve better :(
@@julietruong6525 in the book i can understand more why people ship her with Jer but not in the serie, from the beginning Conrad is everything for Belly but yeah both brothers deserve better at the end

Your editing is consistently top tier and elite. The commentary and memes? Chef’s kiss 🤌🏾
I got the book but didn't read it yet, I genuinely thought and expected Jere and Belly to happened from the start. The way Belly so comforted around him, how much he cared about her and they talked so naturally made me think they could have a healthy relationship together, so
their relationship was too rushed on the show, and i get it you can take their affection as "flirting" when honestly his feelings for her came out nowhere, no context nothing. and belly doesn't really even like him, he's just the only one giving her attention
@@claudettelol u could tell her liked her from the start, and he was so jealous around cam it was obvious
@@claudettelol agreed Jerimahs feelings were so random
I'm just gonna clear it up and tell everyone that Jeremiah loved belly before she "turned pretty", he was excited to see her before she got out of the car in the books. Unsaid for Conrad.
Bro the way my heart melted when Conrad gave her that little bunny ear wave… IM DEAD
Everyone is so good looking in this show. I really don't care who ends up with who, I am down for any pair.
2:53 “jeremiah STAWPPP” is some real pick me shit
It’s the fact I didn’t know this was on Amazon prime and I made an entire new acct on Netflix to watch this-
💀 omg
Oh no
ok but can we talk about how they're trying to convince us that belly looks 15-
She does to me. 15 year olds these day look older than me :/
@@julietruong6525 um how? Usually it's makeup, but she's not wearing much makeup
@@yasmineguerin2852 girl wym how they just do? I have a baby face. Even if they’re wearing make up or not they still do look older
@@yasmineguerin2852 when i was 15 i could definitely pass for a 18 year old.
@@exaggeratedswagger7485 tru im 16 i could fs pass for a 18 yo, and im short asl like 5'4 1/2 but i still get told i look older than my actual age. sucks cause it invites a lot of predators/creeps :(
4:30 sis is giving us them Jason Derulo lyrics like it's nothing-💀
i think she's a player. she broke up with Cameron for a reason even tho he was great towards her but she broke up with him cause she knew Conrad will always be the one she likes. but it doesn't make sense breaking up with cam just to go and start something with Jeremiah not to mention him being her crushes sibling
💀 exactly, I think the most enjoyable characters were basically the side characters (the Deb girls and cam Cameron [also him being the best out of the other 2 for belly imo lmao] and the 2 moms). It didn't sit right with me seeing homeboy put in alot of effort to comfort and make her happy and she wasn't even looking his way, shit even from the start to "distance" herself from Conrad
EXACTLY. It’s stupid that she broke up with cam when she still hasn’t told Conrad her feelings. Imagine her breaking up with cam and confessing her feelings to Conrad just to get rejected💀 like that would’ve been SUPERRR embarrassing
@@shrimp3480 i think her breaking up with cam was good cuz that way she didn't lead him on that much and when she realized she was still not over Conrad she broke up with him which is good. but to go and date someone else when she still wasn't over Conrad *WHICH IS THE REASON SHE BROKE UP WITH CAM* is stupid and selfish of her
@@prescila340 emotionally cheating for sure which is the same thing she’ll do to Jeremiah
It's the single firework for me... Serving us walt disney, fantasy 😭
i hate her character ngl,, she played with everyone and all the guys all had their own charms that made them stand out and she just played with their hearts :((
anyway since she aint taking jeremiah, I will 😚
Me too
when I first watched 1:56 I thought he was gonna sing one direction- what makes you beautiful lmao
OMG same!
same!!
Lolll I've only realised that now
Same
when she kissed conrad at the end i was like girl make up your mind💀
Conrad. She’s always going to be in love with him no matter what so there’s just no way for her to truly give herself to Jeremiah anyways. Plus he’s kinda too good and sweet for her. Her and Conrad match each other in basically every way tbh
This is the parasocial relationship content I needed. I have no one to join me in lovably snark at the this half baked but mildly entertaining show. It’s like edit goldmine
PLS💀 when he was making the bed and she was thinking abt the future babe😭🤚🏽
2:16 this is me planning my future with a guy after he looked at me for a millisecond. 😭😭😂
“All of these relationships were underdeveloped and rushed” aren’t most high school aged relationships
I was Team Cameron but bruh I don't support Belly. She literally kissed and toyed with her and everyone's heart. Her best friend tolerated her too. I commend Nicole from confronting Belly. If I turn pretty, I wouldn't go kiss every close friend I have and I wouldn't break Cam's heart.
I don’t think I can watch this show. I’ve seen enough.
please spare yourself
this video has made me decide i will watch it to cringe while also crying cause this is exactly how i wish my life was
Please don’t. I watched till ep 6 and regret it. The second hand embarrassment I get djfifjjcfidk
pls don’t
Yea you don’t want to see it
team jeremiah and i will die on this hill 3rd book is not acknowledged whatsoever
Her whole personality is just her turning prettier in the summer
And that's it :)
4:16 they're both so embarrassing and cute, this might convert me to team jer
Watched it all in one sitting last night
NO THE WAY I WAS JUST SKIPPING THROUGH SCENES BC WTF IS THIS
@@oliviaoseghale3321 💀💀
“If you stay ready you don’t have to get.. ready.”
Conrad the icon
The videos being the same energy as jere is killing me😭
justice for cam because he was the whole package and more!!
The Barbie princess scene had me crying
Idk as someone who LOVES the books I felt like it was obvious that Jer had a thing for belly… but maybe that’s just me expecting the plot line🥴 the books didn’t really develop that relationship either because she was always so in love with Conrad!
Finally someone talks about the book version😭😭
yall I'm sorry but this low-key feels like Ginny and Georgia all over again
STOP YOU’RE RIGHT
I know! Marcus and Conrad are literal copies of each other
