The Summer I Turned Pretty's third season has reignited the debate between fans of its two male leads, Conrad and Jeremiah. The adaptation of the final book raises questions about Belly's romantic future, with possibilities diverging from the source material. This love triangle is criticized as inferior, reflecting a trend of poor love triangles in contemporary media. A well-constructed love triangle should engage audiences and deepen character development, emphasizing the protagonist's journey and priorities, but the current narrative fails to deliver this.
The series, which author Han is co-showrunning, could potentially go in another direction than the book, leaving the ending a mystery even to critics.
What fans are fighting over isn't the better choice, but a choice between two woefully inferior options. The triad is a bad love triangle, tainting romance shows.
The art of the love triangle is a sacred one. When deployed correctly, it is not just a way to engage an opinionated audience, but also develops characters.
This divide among fans has widened with the premiere of the third season, adapting the third and final book, raising questions about Belly's ultimate choice.
