same, like literally every point she made was what I was feeling, if anyone ever asks me what I think about tsitp imma just show them this video and say; this right here, all of it hahhaha
The actor for Jeremiah is so pretty! The curly hair and eyes! When Susannah paints him as Hermes, I got the biggest Achilles vibe from him! If song of Achilles gets adapted, he NEEDS to be Achilles I swear!
I am 100% team conrad. he has always cared for her from the beginning while jeremiah only started paying attention to her this summer because she had a major glow up. conrad and belly have a much deeper connection than jeremiah. also jeremiah is nice to everyone but conrad has special feelings towards belly. jeremiah is a great best friend, him and belly are an iconic duo, but as friends. TEAM CONRAD ALL THE WAY
Ok I am 1000% team Conrad but also I have never had an author so blatantly turn a loveable character into a completely unlikable character to force you to feel a certain way like she does with Jeremiah. Like yes she always should've been with Conrad but don't completely trash Jeremiah's character in the process and turn him into something he isn't.
I haven’t read this series but I haaate when writers do that like staging their own justification to the audience for why one love interest doesn’t get picked so the fans don’t get upset. it’s just the easy way out.
i wrote EXACTLY THIS in my goodreads review on the third book. like, instead of forcing us to all become team conrad (if we weren’t already) by having jeremiah make some totally out of character decisions so that we hate him. all of jeremiah’s scenes in the third book just paint him so horribly, when he was kind and good hearted in the first. jenny han was so plotting to turn us against him because it’s easier than just having to accept that belly and conrad were together even if you liked jeremiah more.
No but genuinely, the ONE most prominent thought I had after finishing the series was that my new least favourite trope was character assassination. My FAVOURITE thing is when an author skillfully writes the character relationships in a way that makes you change your mind about someone because it makes sense, not because they just randomly turn into an awful person for the sake of making them end up with someone else. It was the worse case of final book character assassination that i've ever read.
AGREEEED like the moment with the fruit stand where Conrad sees belly wants fruit and supposedly Jeremiah never would’ve noticed that??? Like what abt book 1 when it’s stated Jeremiah knew belly so well she thought he could read her mind??? I’m so mad at Jenny Han for changing Jeremiah’s character so abruptly like that, like I don’t ship jere and belly AT ALL but omfg I wish they were still best friends because I loved jere as a person in book 1 sm 😭😭😭
I feel like Jeremiah and Belly are more platonic soulmates since Jeremiah just wants to have fun then actually have a relationship. I think he sees gaining belly’s love as a competition with Conrad.
You literally expressed all of my thoughts lol. I'm team Conrad, always was, always will be. Jeremiah and Belly seem to have this friendship connection that they just don't go together. I love the show way more than the books for some reason as well. Loved seeing your thoughts on this and it was nice to relate to it, like someone finally said what I thought
I read through the series in one week and I FELT THE SAME ABOUT JEREMIAH AHAHHA!!! Conrad has so much depth, it’s hard to hate him when you learn why he does what he does. Anyways LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
girl i agree with everything you said. i read the books just before the show came out and didn’t really like them. i found belly annoying and the decisions the characters made were dumb af (understandable since they’re teens) and certain things were definitely problematic in the books but I LOVED the show i loved the cast and the way they brought the story to life i’ve already rewatched it twice. i’m team conrad obviously
I feel like Belly and Jeremiah have the relationship where they were best friends for so long that they owed it to each other to see if they can be more
I blame the author for manipulating me into hating Jeremiah by book 3. His actions were sooo out of character for me. Also, Conrad processes his emotions differently and tended to lash out at Belly or ignore her when his mom was dying. I did not like that. Also, Belly was really annoying throughout the entire books.

hi steph! me being a major swiftie AND a massive bookworm, it has been a true blessing stumbling upon your channel! this is just the perfect channel for me! i just subbed and i can’t wait to watch this!
I absolutely agree with everything you said. Conrad and Belly forever ♾. The show was executed very well, the soundtrack and chemistry and characters were all flawless. I love your videos!
@@artlandforabettertomorrow1176 I really liked the show and thought it brought the story to life. So I’ll say show but I want it to end the same way as the books
Team Conrad ALL THE WAY, and the time jumps were so frustrating it’s like Jenny Han really wanted us to suffer and wait for the actual scene way too long, but at the same time it kept me reading soooo I just love these books and excited for season 2&3 🫢🧡
I agree that they “fixed” some things in the show that wasn’t it in the book. Jeremiah is definitely more annoying in the book. I hope they show more of their friendship and their build up in the show. And CONRAD AND BELLYs final reunion!!!!
I love this series! Team Conrad from the start! I re-read the first book before the show but didn't mind (for the most part) the changes. Show is great! I happened to love the epilogue of the last book. I think it's important for character growth that Belly went to Spain to study for a bit and Conrad sent letters (so sweet), and then she only agreed to take him back after he bettered himself and eventually went to her college graduation. Them living their lives and coming back together a couple years later and then marrying is the better move. I did kind of want more than a time jump, but his letters were so sweet.
If anything, the changes made the show miles better than the books! The ending of book 3 is the best part of the whole trilogy and I'm mad it was so short. Like that's what I get for getting through the most dramatic while simultaneously boring story I've read in years?
i would definitely go for it but keep ur expectations low. the vibes and the whole feel of the series is great but tbh all the main characters are so toxic and terrible people and i didn’t really like any of them. also big trigger warning for grief in the second and kinda the third book. enjoyy 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@@artlandforabettertomorrow1176 i personally prefer the books since i love reading, but as a whole i was not a big fan of the book series. the show felt like every other generic TV show to me, but if you go into it without high expectations, it’s a fun and short watch! and even though i didn’t like the books that much, it was fun to read it before watching the show to see all the changes (and there were some drastic ones). hope that helps :)
the whole hour video went by so fast!! i bought the books so fast after the show and i loved every bit of it!! but once you get the chance to get the hardcover you have to look at the letters that conrad sent to belly while she was in spain LIKE I CRIED SO MUCH IT WAS SO CUTE I SCREAMED.
Did your iBooks version have Conrad's letters in them at the end? I fell even more in love with Conrad after reading the letters he was sending to Belly while she was in Spain.
OMG THANK YOU, i loved this video sooo much!! I’m feeling the EXACT same about Jeremiah and his relationship w/ Belly ! In the new edition you can actually read susannahs letter to Conrad + emails that Conrad have sent to Belly when she was in Spain ! I don’t know if you know that, but I LOOOVED reading those ❤️🔥
This video is sooo fun!! It feels like I'm discussing, fan girl-ing, shading and all of that with my friend! Cause literally every time you said something I was like "Yeah, I know right?!"
omg I’ve been so obsessed with the show that I’ve watched it 3 times and I also binged the books in 2 days!! you have no idea how happy this video makes me bc we have the same opinions lmao
no literally, i havent read the books but in the show jeremiah just gives me the ick and is so embarrassing. i dont understand how people are team jeremiah!!
Same! I remember reading it in middle school during summer break, I’m 24 now. I’m not sure if I will watch the show but I remember loving this series when I was a teen
@@gracip719 I almost didn’t watch it bc the casting was nothing how I pictured them. I ended up watching and I enjoyed it. It is pretty different in my opinion. The books will always be so much better to me!
There was absolutely no build up with Jeremiah he all of a sudden was pointing a fire cracker at them when he saw them together and was jealous. I also need a build up and moments and the moments with Conrad are so different and just so much chemistry between them. I read the books after watching the show and definitely liked the series better cause it gave more depth to the characters. Conrad wasn't an asshole he was just keeping stuff in but wanted to share it but the audience could see that I thought he was a dick on the book but still loved him. The series just allowed for so much more which often doesn't happen. All of your opinions especially on book three and Jeremiah cheating and getting caught is spot on. I absolutely hated the proposal/marriage plotline cause it was only because he knew he f-ed up and would lose her forever so he proposed instead and she just like let it go like nothing happened. If a guy did that to any girl after two years it is one thing but them, a family friend for life and a best friend who you hadn't slept with cheated on you and slept with someone when you haven't yet. Like unbelievable. I wanted to fight her too and it made me mad at Belly that she was just all of a sudden ok with it and it didn't matter. I also was mad more family members and people didn't find out and made that a bigger part " He proposed after he cheated on you" and on top of it she is a freshmen or sophomore in high school and jus shows the maturity if a junior college guy. That blew my mind and hated that plotline of getting engaged. I need to go back and read these cause stuff you are reading I don't even remember, I think i was in a haze at 3am reading that I wasn't even processing most of what I was reading like the fruit stand, the kiss where he looked back to Conrad i need to at least re-read the 3rd I missed a bunch except the ending. I did hate though that when she was honest about what Conrad told her he turned it around on her and it was like dude you proposed to erase that you cheated on her like wtf. It was all about winning over Conrad as he had always been 2nd best to his dad, football and belly so I do think he loved her it wasn't for the right reasons
So glad that you hated the formatting too. I was getting so confused with all of the jumps in the timeline I couldn't remember what was present and what was a long time ago. And team Conrad always!
I read the book 2 and 3 in one day, I haven't read this fast ever, I just wanted more after reading book 1 and watching the show. I like some scenes better in book and some in the show but overall I liked the show better, it felt so nostalgic, refreshing like a fresh air that reminds me of something. And Cam was better in books. I want season 2 right now!! And definitely TEAM CONRAD!!!
Conrad is forever my favourite and I’m shipping Belly and Conrad together forever lol. I agree with you, even without the cheating, I felt that Belly and Jeremiah were cute as friends but not romantically. I read the books right before I watched the show and I liked the show much more! They corrected all of the icks I had with the book and added much more bellyconrad scenes (+conrad’s expressions and povs) I LOVED IT and the soundtrack was immaculate
@@elegerard I disagree. While I agree there should've been more belly and conrad scenes at the end, the books were mostly boring (despite trying to be very dramatic) and I don't know if I could take reading another book. She could've cut quite a bit from book 2 and 3 and just added more scenes with conrad.
ive watched the show and i just finished the book series and i absolutely loved it!! book 3 was 1000% my favourite and i also loved seeing things from conrads perspective and obviously im team conrad, i literally am in love w him lmao. i was a conrad girlie throughout the books and show too lol and i also AGREE W EVERYTHING U SAID ABT ALL CHARACTERS like i do not understand how ppl are team jeremiah??
I’m so team Jeremiah 😭😭 honestly maybe it’s because he reminds me of someone I would want to date. But I loved him in the books but the show made me love him even more
i agree with u when u said the show was better. Personally, I feel like with jenny han and the series this was kind of a second chance for her to do some things that she might have wanted to differently the first time she made it, and she made it for relatable for teens right now. The show made all the characters much more likeable, and I feel like I got more insight on each characters actions and why they did them. Also, I loved seeing susannah and laurel's friendship in the show and I feel like all the characters were well rounded. I'm so glad that in the show she didn't take the necklace because in the books that really embarrased me too.
I loved this vid it was so fun to watch :) also I loved watching the show and I am now obsessed with it and I can’t wait for season 2!! And I do agree with everything that u said and even though I do like Jeremiah because he’s the type of guy that I would date, but I agree with ur points of how Belly and Conrad are meant to be together
THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY BY JENNY HAN IS MY LITERAL FAVOURITE TRILOGY OF ALL TIME AND I READ IT IN MAY THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN ✝️
rewatching this after the first 3 eps of s2. and what steph said about jeremiah being icky, i see that a lot in the first season but this season conrad is just so much more icky
honestly ik that these 2 books have nothing in common but reading it’s not summer without you genuinely reminded me of the way i used to be, like when belly says all those mean things to conrad at his funeral and then goes “i didn’t hate him i hated myself” i really thought that the mc from TWIUTB and TSITP both react to trauma/grief by being so bad at communicating what they’re feeling and adding fuel to the fire does it make sense-
I'm 1000% team conrad. I did watch the show before reading the books so I was always team conrad. Jeremiah just gives me best friend energy. And there was just no build-up with jeremiah like when I saw people on team jeremiah I was like "is that even a team like they're best friends" So yeah team conrad
I read the trilogy years ago, And I love it! Now that im watching the series and im surprised of how much im liking it! Cuz we all know 'the book is always better'
in the show belly n jere had a little bit of chemistry, very little but it was kinda there, some cute moments yk. But her n conrad were a whole other level.
Girl so I'm mad. Conrad is such a bad person. I know he has issues but we all do so stop taking it out on the people around you. Especially the way he was leading Belly on the whole time is so manipulative. Also the way he is like "protective" annoyed me so much. He is acting like her father like leave Belly alone.
actually he was never leading belly like he was emotionally unavailable. and he was already dealing with so much. jeremiah was the manipulative one. he literally knew that belly and conrad are into each other but he still inserted himself in the equation. like wtf. even the moms knew. and he shot the firework at them just bcz he was jealous.
Right? Like i get he’s going through stuff but belly is also younger than him and they way you treat a girl at that age can mess them up for a long time. I felt bad but at the same time Belly was flip flopping through 3 guys loll
HAHAHAHHAH LOVE THISSS VIDEO, before I read any of the books I watched the show and loved it, was kinda team jelly but like you said he flirted with everyone: ick, BUTTT after the first book oh gosh yeah team conrad haha
I've only seen the show and never read the books but I totally agree with you on the Jeremiah/Belly relationship. I thought it just came out of nowhere and made no sense ! I like Jeremiah but I don't get any romantic vibes between him and Belly and can only see them as friend... Anyway I can't wait for season 2 !
I really think you would love The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. The love triangle in that one is just amazing. And don't get me started on Magnus Bane
Wow that was a rollercoaster, thanks for saving me hours of reading by recapping the plot. Honestly, I feel like the show is going to change a lot probably because the whole lashing out at prom and cheating thing, both brothers hurt her so much, really both are pretty toxic, which I don’t know that they would want to perpetuate that. Plus the cast might be a little young for a wedding storyline, so I’m interested to see how it goes
She gets me. Every opinion she has on conrad, belly, Jeremiah and everyone else it's like she took it out of my mind
same, like literally every point she made was what I was feeling, if anyone ever asks me what I think about tsitp imma just show them this video and say; this right here, all of it hahhaha

I also was mad more family members and people didn't find out and made that a bigger part " He proposed after he cheated on you" and on top of it she is a freshmen or sophomore in high school and jus shows the maturity if a junior college guy. That blew my mind and hated that plotline of getting engaged. I need to go back and read these cause stuff you are reading I don't even remember, I think i was in a haze at 3am reading that I wasn't even processing most of what I was reading like the fruit stand, the kiss where he looked back to Conrad i need to at least re-read the 3rd I missed a bunch except the ending. I did hate though that when she was honest about what Conrad told her he turned it around on her and it was like dude you proposed to erase that you cheated on her like wtf. It was all about winning over Conrad as he had always been 2nd best to his dad, football and belly so I do think he loved her it wasn't for the right reasons
Your description of conrad is literally the same as mine, team conrad all the way
So glad that you hated the formatting too. I was getting so confused with all of the jumps in the timeline I couldn't remember what was present and what was a long time ago. And team Conrad always!
one hour of steph defending conrad this is my FAVORITEEEE SONG❤️❤️❤️❤️
A whole hour long UA-cam video! Thank you Steph! Love your videos! 💗
I read the book 2 and 3 in one day, I haven't read this fast ever, I just wanted more after reading book 1 and watching the show. I like some scenes better in book and some in the show but overall I liked the show better, it felt so nostalgic, refreshing like a fresh air that reminds me of something. And Cam was better in books. I want season 2 right now!! And definitely TEAM CONRAD!!!
Conrad is forever my favourite and I’m shipping Belly and Conrad together forever lol. I agree with you, even without the cheating, I felt that Belly and Jeremiah were cute as friends but not romantically. I read the books right before I watched the show and I liked the show much more! They corrected all of the icks I had with the book and added much more bellyconrad scenes (+conrad’s expressions and povs) I LOVED IT and the soundtrack was immaculate
i love that in the show belly is actually friends with nicole and genuinely likes her
I wish that there were more scenes of Conrad and belly finally being together at the end of the 3rd book cos that last chapter wasn’t enough 😫😫
@@elegerard I disagree. While I agree there should've been more belly and conrad scenes at the end, the books were mostly boring (despite trying to be very dramatic) and I don't know if I could take reading another book. She could've cut quite a bit from book 2 and 3 and just added more scenes with conrad.
FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME ABOUT JEREMIAH THANK YOU
currently obsessed w this series and these videos so this is perfect LOL
ive watched the show and i just finished the book series and i absolutely loved it!! book 3 was 1000% my favourite and i also loved seeing things from conrads perspective and obviously im team conrad, i literally am in love w him lmao. i was a conrad girlie throughout the books and show too lol and i also AGREE W EVERYTHING U SAID ABT ALL CHARACTERS like i do not understand how ppl are team jeremiah??
i’m for sure team conrad. this whole series is low key a toxic mess but i love it
You didnt read conrad and belly's letters to each other in that time jump. They were everythingggg♥️♥️😍
Agree with every opinion! Team Conrad for sure
I’m so team Jeremiah 😭😭 honestly maybe it’s because he reminds me of someone I would want to date. But I loved him in the books but the show made me love him even more
Ikr, who wants an emotionally damaged Conrad. I've had some in the past and they're so draining.
same, girl 😭
i agree with u when u said the show was better. Personally, I feel like with jenny han and the series this was kind of a second chance for her to do some things that she might have wanted to differently the first time she made it, and she made it for relatable for teens right now. The show made all the characters much more likeable, and I feel like I got more insight on each characters actions and why they did them. Also, I loved seeing susannah and laurel's friendship in the show and I feel like all the characters were well rounded. I'm so glad that in the show she didn't take the necklace because in the books that really embarrased me too.
I literally love you!!!!!!!!!! Also ive wanted to read this for so long but don’t have the time so im just gonna watch this to cope
We do get Conrad's letters to belly after she breaks off her marriage so the time jump didn't really matter to me after reading his letters to her😭💘💫
reading the trilogy was sO stressful but i honestly had so much fun 😭😭
i wish they kept the necklace storyline in the 2nd book it seems so vital to the scenes in book 2 and also in book 3
I feel the same way about Jeremiah and Belly. I was so mad reading the 3rd book😂
I loved this vid it was so fun to watch :) also I loved watching the show and I am now obsessed with it and I can’t wait for season 2!! And I do agree with everything that u said and even though I do like Jeremiah because he’s the type of guy that I would date, but I agree with ur points of how Belly and Conrad are meant to be together
I AGREEEE, the way you explained why you’re not team jeremiah omg
So excited for this!! Love your reading vlogs, they are my absolute fav
THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY BY JENNY HAN IS MY LITERAL FAVOURITE TRILOGY OF ALL TIME AND I READ IT IN MAY THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN ✝️
One thing we all can agree on the soundtrack was STUNNING.
The soundtrack really needs its own prize 😩
rewatching this after the first 3 eps of s2. and what steph said about jeremiah being icky, i see that a lot in the first season but this season conrad is just so much more icky
the craziest thing is she's absolutely right the prom scene is what converted me to team jeremiah 😭😂
honestly ik that these 2 books have nothing in common but reading it’s not summer without you genuinely reminded me of the way i used to be, like when belly says all those mean things to conrad at his funeral and then goes “i didn’t hate him i hated myself” i really thought that the mc from TWIUTB and TSITP both react to trauma/grief by being so bad at communicating what they’re feeling and adding fuel to the fire does it make sense-
yesss the soundtrack of TSITP was SO GOOD! specially with taylor's songs on perfect time! 🥺🥺
Best book trilogy I've ever read, just finished book three last night and I cried a lot 💗💗💗💗
You’re almost at 500k!!!! Congrats girl! 🎉
Yesssss this is exactlyyy meeeee I can not explain how happy this made me!!!!!
omg Steph I love the way you talk about the book and your laugh, u are so funny 🤣🫶
your reading vlogs are my favourite things to watch!!
Love this!! FRRR Jeremiah got on my NERVES UGH!! Can you do a reading vlog of American Royals by Katherine McGee? It’s like Gossip Girl but royalty
I am reading the books while you are giving your take on each part pretty much. Exactly what I have been thinking. Can't get enough of these books!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SERIES SO MUCH 😭😫
this is a certified video of roasting jere 😂😂 i love it
ok im glad we are on the same page about the brothers becuase i dont trust a single person who is team jere tbh
I'm 1000% team conrad. I did watch the show before reading the books so I was always team conrad. Jeremiah just gives me best friend energy. And there was just no build-up with jeremiah like when I saw people on team jeremiah I was like "is that even a team like they're best friends" So yeah team conrad
Same goes for me
if you can, you should find the letters conrad wrote to belly while she was studying abroad! definitely worth all the back and forth
thank you for explaining exactly my thoughts
I hope you would be coming up with the GREATEST review of THE TWISTED LIES can't wait for your review damn.
I read the trilogy years ago, And I love it! Now that im watching the series and im surprised of how much im liking it! Cuz we all know 'the book is always better'
Omg I loved the video, it felt like you were taking the words out of my mind. And also you're so pretty miss girl, loved your energy.
in the show belly n jere had a little bit of chemistry, very little but it was kinda there, some cute moments yk. But her n conrad were a whole other level.
I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN HAPPIER AFTER SEEING THE VIDS TITLE ONG
Girl so I'm mad. Conrad is such a bad person. I know he has issues but we all do so stop taking it out on the people around you. Especially the way he was leading Belly on the whole time is so manipulative. Also the way he is like "protective" annoyed me so much. He is acting like her father like leave Belly alone.
actually he was never leading belly like he was emotionally unavailable. and he was already dealing with so much. jeremiah was the manipulative one. he literally knew that belly and conrad are into each other but he still inserted himself in the equation. like wtf. even the moms knew. and he shot the firework at them just bcz he was jealous.
Right? Like i get he’s going through stuff but belly is also younger than him and they way you treat a girl at that age can mess them up for a long time. I felt bad but at the same time Belly was flip flopping through 3 guys loll
@@teddybear701 lmao yea I agree. I think the real victim here is Cam lol
rewatching this masterpiece to prepare myself for season 2
HAHAHAHHAH LOVE THISSS VIDEO, before I read any of the books I watched the show and loved it, was kinda team jelly but like you said he flirted with everyone: ick, BUTTT after the first book oh gosh yeah team conrad haha
I've only seen the show and never read the books but I totally agree with you on the Jeremiah/Belly relationship. I thought it just came out of nowhere and made no sense ! I like Jeremiah but I don't get any romantic vibes between him and Belly and can only see them as friend... Anyway I can't wait for season 2 !
I really think you would love The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. The love triangle in that one is just amazing. And don't get me started on Magnus Bane
I think this may just be my favourite video on UA-cam
"aww the bare minimum"
bruhh you comments were so funny lmfao
Wow that was a rollercoaster, thanks for saving me hours of reading by recapping the plot. Honestly, I feel like the show is going to change a lot probably because the whole lashing out at prom and cheating thing, both brothers hurt her so much, really both are pretty toxic, which I don’t know that they would want to perpetuate that. Plus the cast might be a little young for a wedding storyline, so I’m interested to see how it goes
I agree with everythingggg you said about Conrad and Jeremiah and Jeremiah being just good friends with Belly.
U ARE TAKING THE WORDS FOR MY MOUTHH!! ive always hated jeremiah but the 3rd book topped it
You just put my thoughts and opinions in to words! And worded it so well. You Get me, us.
