‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Creator Jenny Han Confirms Show Ends With Belly’s ‘Clear-Cut Decision’

The Summer I Turned Pretty series finale will reveal which Fisher boy is endgame for Belly Conklin.

“By the time it’s over, will there be a clear-cut decision?” Gayle King asked the series’ showrunner Jenny Han during the Thursday, August 7, episode of CBS Mornings. “Because if it doesn’t end with a clear-cut decision, I’m going to be very upset.”

Han, 44, didn’t give anything away as she responded to the morning show host.

“I would say so,” the author replied while nodding her head.

Han, who wrote all three books in The Summer I Turned Pretty book series, also addressed whether fans would see the Prime Video show’s three main characters again.

“I mean, you never know,” she said. “I would love to because I love the characters. I love the world. I love the cast.”

Lola Tung stars as lead Belly whose heart is torn between two brothers — Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).

“They’re all young and they’re all flawed human individuals who are figuring out life. They’re at different points in the journey,” Han said of the show. “Hopefully, people can watch that and feel some sense of, like, connection to seeing people make mistakes but then be forgiven and hopefully find grace.”

The Summer I Turned Pretty’s third and final season premiered last month with Belly and Jeremiah in a (semi) committed relationship. After weeks of waiting for Conrad to do literally anything, the fans were fed with an episode from his point of view released on Wednesday, August 6. And, boy, was Team Conrad feral.

Han’s recent CBS Mornings appearance is hardly the first time she’s addressed the end of Belly’s love story over the past few months.

“There are going to be surprises,” she told Entertainment Weekly in March. “There are the things that [book fans] know and then there are things they think they know, and then there’s going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them.”

The book series has (spoiler alert) Belly choosing herself — and a trip to study abroad — before reconnecting with Conrad, whom she ultimately ends up with.

During a separate interview with EW, Han said that a fourth season of the beloved series wasn’t totally ruled out.

“Never say never. If the story is there, then I’m there. As a storyteller, you just get hit with inspiration all the time,” the author said in June. “If I had a really great idea that I was excited by, that I wanted to keep telling the story, and if [the stars] were excited to do it, then I would be so pumped. It really depends on if I feel like there is more story to tell.”
