Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty are more convinced than ever that Belly Conklin will ultimately end up with Conrad Fisher in Season 3. Even though Season 2 ended with Belly choosing Jeremiah, the series has been building tension between Belly and Conrad from the very beginning, and Season 3 only amplifies that spark.
Do Belly and Conrad end up together in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3?
Set three years after the Season 2 finale, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 opens with Belly in her senior year of college. Conrad is pursuing medicine at Stanford, and Jeremiah is nearing graduation. Despite the time jump, drama returns quickly when Belly learns about Jeremiah’s Cabo spring break hookup with Lacie Barone. She overhears the conversation at his frat house. Although Jeremiah insists it happened while they were broken up, Belly is blindsided, believing it was just a temporary fight. Their relationship crumbles as Belly confronts Jeremiah and ultimately ends things.
They reconcile in Episode 2 when Jeremiah proposes to Belly, and she happily accepts. However, with Belly’s engagement to Jeremiah revealed early in the season, fans initially feared a rushed wedding plot. But just like in Jenny Han’s book We’ll Always Have Summer, this engagement does not lead to a happily-ever-after with Jeremiah.
Do Belly and Conrad end up together in The Summer I Turned Pretty book?
Yes, Belly and Conrad do end up together in Jenny Han’s bestselling The Summer I Turned Pretty book series.
In We’ll Always Have Summer, Belly and Jeremiah get engaged after a brief breakup, similar to the on-screen plot. However, Conrad’s lingering love for Belly resurfaces when he crashes Jeremiah’s bachelor party and overhears talk about Jeremiah’s Cabo hookup. Conrad pleads with Belly not to marry Jeremiah, and she eventually calls off the wedding. The tension strains the brothers’ relationship, but Belly begins to rediscover her love for Conrad.
It remains uncertain whether The Summer I Turned Pretty series finale will follow this exact ending. However, the emotional groundwork and fan anticipation suggest that Conrad may still be Belly’s ultimate choice, just like in the books.
