your heart will be broken either way. At least during these three first episodes.

Viewers will see Jeremiah rejecting Belly and later on expressing how deeply she hurt him. And viewers will see Conrad failing at balancing a new relationship and the frustrations with his mom’s cancer treatment. Britney’s acting is thoroughly convincing and his internal battles are almost palpable. It feels personal, and it makes it hard to watch.

The show brings more to the table than just a love triangle, it shows the importance of being there for your family and how messy yet beautiful relationships of all sorts can be.

We see a true friendship between Taylor (Rain Spencer) and Belly where there are moments to joke, moments to listen and moments to show up.

Season two has also done a fantastic job so far showing the relationship between Belly and her brother Steven (Sean Kaufman). It’s clear they know each other better than anyone, which can be a curse and a blessing. The dialogues and silences between the two have truly embodied the nuances of the relationship between siblings.

Season two started kicking all the doors and ripping everyone’s heart with yet again, another remarkable soundtrack. You can’t think of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” without thinking of Taylor Swift. Season two will have nine of Swift’s songs on the soundtrack among other famous singers and bands such as Olivia Rodrigo, The Weeknd, One Direction and Fleetwood Mac.

The songs are placed in the right moment, creating the magic it needs or setting the scene for gut-wrenching moments.

I could go on days about this show, but since that’s impossible, here is advice no one asked for: Sometimes watching things that feel “too young” or “too silly” can be a way of remembering what it was like to be that young and have all those overwhelming emotions. You can also add new songs to your playlist and cry while watching the relationship between the adults on the show. Don’t miss the opportunity of going on this summer journey, it’s fun, painful and a reminder of how cool television can be. New episodes will come out every Friday until August 18.
