I wasnt in Cousins.
Conrad and I werent together.
And Susannah was dead, narrates Bellys internal monologue at the top of the episode.
And thus begins season two ofThe Summer I Turned Pretty.
The good news is that things can only go up from here.
Everybody seemed mostly in a good place by the end of season one.
Conrad, by the final episode.
And, of course, they would always have Cousins Beach, right?
Love Lost is mostly a litany of how Bellys life has fallen apart since then.
For starters, she was demoted from captain of the volleyball team and her grades are in the trash.
Then there are Bellys real problems.
At the root of all of Bellys problems is that she is still mourninghardfor Susannah.
Not that Belly doesnt give it a go.
Maybe what Belly really needs is to get out of the house, she thinks.
Maybe Belly should actually go to this big graduation party with her best friend, Taylor.
All Bellys got going for her at this point is her ability to readThe Hunger Gamesin French.
Like its not like my mom has cancer or anything terribly.
Unfortunately for Jeremiah, Belly is also way too emotional a human being to allow this break to stick.
Its morally acceptable to be an armchair psychiatrist if youre only talking about fictional characters, right?
Well, that makes me wonder how much that prediction actually contributed to Bellys lifelong crush on Conrad.
And is that why Conrad and Jeremiah both have such an all-consuming focus on this one girl?
That would be kind of fucked, right?
Luckily, I dont think this is that kind of show.
While we all ponder that, lets check in on the other people on this show.
Steven seems fine, which is good.
So thats one supporting character sorted.
Laurel, mom to Belly and Steven and bestie to newly departed Susannah, is less fine.
To which I say,Lady, you are a writer of books.
Thats the whole gig.
They dont have to be lost to her forever.
So she calls …
Jeremiah.
Yay!Because Conrad is missing.
Oh no.Bellys coming to help look for him!
Yay!(?)
Lola Tungs delivery of the line, I was in love, Steven!
Like out of my mind in love!
