"You may not know about The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I can't blame you. It's the epitome of a nostalgic teenage summer beach romance. Season one starts with Isabella "Belly" (yes, I know) Conklin, the main protagonist, who returns with her family to Cousins Beach - a fictional East Coast beach town with vibrant hydrangeas, drive-in theaters, oceanfront bonfires and parties in pristine beach houses - for another summer of living at their friends' beach house."
"Me included! (At this point he's 23 years old in the show and 27 in real life.) But here's the thing that stands out the most: Regardless that this series technically should be catering to a majority audience of Gen Z teenagers and young adults, The New York Times reported that its main audience is actually 25 through 54-year-old women. The slew of TikToks appearing on my timeline support this."
The Summer I Turned Pretty follows Isabella "Belly" Conklin as she returns to Cousins Beach for a summer of coming-of-age experiences and romantic turmoil. Cousins Beach features hydrangeas, drive-in theaters, oceanfront bonfires and parties in beach houses. Belly reunites with the Fisher brothers: Conrad, the brooding older sibling, and Jeremiah, the outgoing younger brother. The story focuses on a four-year love triangle between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah, adapted from Jenny Han's 2009 YA trilogy and streaming on Amazon Prime. The show is in its third season with a finale upcoming, and viewership skews toward women aged 25–54 across generations.
