Jenny Han Teases ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 Ending
You might think you know how The Summer I Turn Pretty will end, but according to author Jenny Han, you have no idea. Speaking about the third and final season of the Prime Video hit series, Jenny Han teased The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 ending, suggesting that the show might end without resolving the love triangle (gasp!).
Jenny hinted at a twist ending during an appearance on this week's Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast. When the host suggested that the show had to end with Belly making a choice between Conrad and Jeremiah—it is the love triangle at the center of the series, after all—Jenny disagreed. 'Well, she doesn't,' the writer said. 'I don't think she has to choose one.'
Could Jenny really be saying that season 3 might end with Belly of the above? In the books—spoiler alert!—Belly ends up marrying Conrad in the future, years after her engagement to Jeremiah (which we will see in season 3) ends. But back in March, Jenny hinted that the end of the show might be very different.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Jenny mentioned that the season would include a few curveballs for fans of the trilogy. 'There are the things that they know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them,' she said.
Jenny's statements are cryptic for sure, but do they really mean that Belly will end up choosing herself in the end? I'm not convinced. Despite telling Rachel Martin that she doesn't 'like too neat of an ending,' Jenny also said, 'My biggest thing is I really want people to love it, and I want people to feel satisfied with it.'
As a lover of the show, I can say with absolute certainty that if Belly ends up alone—without even a hint of a future with either Conrad or Jeremiah—the fans will not be satisfied. Personally, I'm hoping that what Jenny means by Belly not needing to choose is that the choice might be made for her, whether that means she gets dumped by Jeremiah or Conrad decides he's destined to brood by himself forever. Whatever happens, I will be watching.
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 premieres Wednesday, July 16, on Prime Video.
