So, why should you care about the cousins? Because they represent the best and worst parts of family. They’re the people who knew you before you became "cool." They remind you of your awkward phases, your first crushes, and your biggest dreams.
The Summer I Turned Pretty isn’t just about who Belly ends up with. It’s about the journey she takes with the people who have known her forever. It’s about messy, beautiful, complicated love—the kind that only cousins can give.
So, grab some lemonade, put on your flip-flops, and dive in. Whether you’re Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah, just remember: at the end of the day, it’s the bond of the cousins that makes the summer unforgettable. And honestly? That’s pretty cool.
