"Why Every Millennial Woman You Know Is Suddenly Watching The Summer I Turned Pretty, ran a headline in Vogue. Why Almost Every Woman You Know Is Obsessed With The Summer I Turned Pretty, said another in Elle. So fervent is the fandom that Amazon even asked viewers to start acting normal online after cast members were targeted with abuse in the buildup to the climax. To understand why the show has enthralled so many women, look no further than its premise."
"It is centred on Isabel Belly Conklin (played by Lola Tung), who spends her summers in the fictional US east coast beach town of Cousins with the Fisher brothers: the brooding and brilliant Conrad (Christopher Briney), and the outgoing and dependable Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Christopher Briney, as Conrad (left) and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah. Fans have split into two entrenched camps: Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah."
The Summer I Turned Pretty is a coming-of-age drama whose third and final season's first two episodes drew 25 million viewers, triple its debut audience. The primary audience has become women over 25 rather than teenagers. Media outlets framed widespread millennial engagement, and Amazon requested calmer online behavior after cast members faced targeted abuse. The narrative centers on Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, who spends summers in Cousins with the Fisher brothers: brooding Conrad and dependable Jeremiah. Fans polarize into Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah around a long-standing love triangle. Across three seasons the show traces decade-long crushes, slow-burn first love, ricocheting affections, and familial loss.
