What are people saying about The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2?
Generally, reviews for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 were positive, with some saying that it was even better than the first.
At the time of writing, season 2 is sitting at a 76% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 71 on Metacritic. To compare, the first season is at 78% on Rotten Tomatoes and 72 on Metacritic, so they're pretty much neck-and-neck on average.
Specifically, Rolling Stone's CT Jones says that few people get shows about growing up "so awkwardly, breathtakingly correct," while The AV Club's Lauren Chval says that season 2 "is so good, it makes the (already very strong) first season feel like a preamble."
What happens in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2?
There's still plenty of room for surprise, since season 2 is still being released on a weekly basis. But this season is currently dealing with the fallout of Conrad and Belly's break-up and the grief of both brothers.
So far, we've been witness to a big blowout that takes place between Belly and Conrad at Susannah's funeral (awkward), which results in the two not speaking for a while. The families sadly drift apart at a time when they need each other the most.
When Conrad suddenly goes missing, Jeremiah and Belly take off on a road trip to find him. When they reach Cousins Beach, they find him. It turns out, Susannah's sister Julia has plans to sell the vacation house, and Conrad went there to stop her. The brothers have a fight, since neither has exactly been there for the other following their mother's tragic passing.
Together, Belly and the two brothers unite forces to try and stop Julia from selling the home that means so much to them. Along the way, they rekindle friendships, relationships, and Belly and Conrad's romance already seems to be blossoming again.
