The third and final season<\/strong> of The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/strong> wrapped up, and the finale<\/a> gave Belly and Conrad a romantic reunion, but not everyone was sold on how the show chose to end it. Readers of Jenny Han\u2019s books immediately noticed that the series went in a different direction than the books, and the change left some feeling bittersweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3\u2019s ending is different from books<\/p>\n

In Season 3, The Summer I Turned Pretty\u2019s finale leaned into subtlety rather than grand gestures. Belly and Conrad confessed their feelings on the train, kissed, and eventually made their way back to Cousins Beach. The closing scene showed them hand in hand at the beloved beach house, with a scrapbook montage teasing their holiday in Paris. It was tender and romantic, but it stopped short of offering the \u201chappily ever after\u201d readers expected.<\/p>\n

In Jenny Han\u2019s We\u2019ll Always Have Summer, though, Belly and Conrad\u2019s love story doesn\u2019t just rekindle \u2014 it solidifies. The book closes with their wedding, complete with a dress picked out with her mom, a first dance to \u201cStay,\u201d and a heartfelt letter from Susannah written years earlier for Belly\u2019s big day. The book gives fans complete closure, including Conrad\u2019s love letters and Jeremiah attending the wedding, which the show skipped altogether.<\/p>\n

The difference in tone explains why reactions were so mixed. As one fan wrote<\/a> on Twitter, \u201cFinished the finale and had a great time but the ending felt incomplete like no running into the water? no valentines day flashback? and no scenes with anybody else for belly?\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Prime Video has already confirmed TSITP: The Movie, written and directed by Jenny Han herself. While details are under wraps, Han hinted that Belly still has \u201cone big milestone\u201d ahead. This has fans buzzing about whether the long-awaited Belly and Conrad wedding will finally make its way to screens.<\/p>\n
