As an avid fan of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” I was utterly devastated when Belly and Jeremiah parted ways in the third novel, “We’ll Always Have Summer.” With Season 3 of the Amazon Prime Video series set to bring the final book to life, I can’t help but ponder about the factors that ultimately led to the demise of their romantic journey, as depicted in the original storyline. Let’s delve into the details.
Here’s why Jeremiah and Belly break up in The Summer I Turned Pretty book
In the novel “We’ll Always Have Summer,” the relationship between Belly and Jeremiah encounters a setback when Belly discovers that Jeremiah was intimate with Lacie during his spring break in Cabo. She learns about it from others at a party, promptly confronting Jeremiah. He admits to the encounter but argues it wasn’t infidelity because they were not officially together at the time (on a sort of break).
Jeremiah’s argument revolves around a dispute they had prior to spring break, which he perceived as a breakup. However, Belly viewed it as just a tough period, not a definite end. Furthermore, the secretive nature of their relationship caused a massive rift in Belly’s trust towards Jeremiah. Although Jeremiah professed love and fear of losing her, his actions suggested something else entirely.
Despite the revelation of the truth, many fans think he attempted to mend things by proposing to Belly, an action that seemed more like a desperate attempt than genuine progress, considering that Belly’s feelings for Conrad weren’t completely gone. Jenny Han, herself, shared her thoughts with People, stating that whether it was infidelity or not is “open to interpretation,” given that the couple were “technically separated.” However, Han also left it up to readers to form their own opinions based on their personal views about relationships and emotional limits.
From one perspective, Belly concealed her interactions with Conrad at the cousins’ residence from Jeremiah, as no romantic involvement took place between them. In the long run, despite the infidelity, Belly agreed to his proposal, opting for comfort and familiarity over unresolved feelings. However, signs of tension were apparent even then. Their engagement also posed challenges, such as hindering her plans for a study-abroad program in Paris, adding more complexity to her self-perception and personal liberty.
As The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 starts streaming, viewers can watch the unfolding of this emotional separation and discover if Belly manages to find her ultimate happily ever after.
