summer when i become beautiful Launching June 17 on Amazon Prime, right in the summer. Based on New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han To all the boys I’ve loved, This coming-of-age drama follows teenage girl Belle reunited with her friends Jeremiah and Conrad and finds herself in a love triangle. In the process, Belle finds herself in the midst of the chaos around her.
Fans praised the show for its warm themes and quotes. Adapted from the book series, it’s no surprise that the series has some incredible quotes.
I promise myself
“I thought this summer would be like every other summer, but it’s not. Because I’m not going to make it happen.”
Belly is used to having her summer unfold a certain way. Throughout her life, she has sat on the sidelines and watched others live the lives they want, often holding back or letting others make decisions for her.
This marked a turning point for the series and for Belly herself. She decided not to let anyone decide how her summer vacation would end, and it ended with some memorable adventures.
The importance of lasting friendship
“Boys may come and go, but friendship lasts a lifetime.”
A quote that is timeless, but true every time. While the series focuses on the love triangle that Bel finds herself in, it also scrutinizes teenage friendships.
As a teenager, it seemed the most important thing was love and romance. However, the right friends will outlast fleeting love or summer romance. It’s a great reminder of the importance of friendship, even in the face of romance.
How does the stomach feel about summer?
“It smelled exactly the same, tasted exactly the same, like it was waiting for me to get here.”
There’s something nostalgic about summer, and Belly sums it up perfectly in this quote. Every summer comes, it feels like a forgotten friend, with familiar smells, tastes and sensations.
Belly knows this better than anyone, for she is filled with affection and gratitude for the long summer. The series follows Belly through one or more of the most important summers in her life, so it makes sense for her to approach the summer with pink-tinted baby innocence.
how important is conrad for the belly
“For Pele, Conrad is the sun, and when the sun comes out, the stars disappear.”
It’s probably one of the best ways to describe someone on a TV show, and it perfectly sums up Bailey’s feelings for Conrad.
Bayley has loved Conrad for years, he is her moon, star and galaxy, and this summer she feels like she finally has a chance to be with him. Conrad has been Bayley’s ultimate goal for as long as she can remember, and she’s been vocal about her true feelings throughout the season.
taylor give me some love advice
“Shouldn’t love be a little scary?”
Belly is mostly wise beyond her years, but sometimes she needs a little help from friends and outside perspectives. This is where her childhood best friend Taylor offers some wisdom.
After kissing Jeremiah, Belle begins to question her lifelong love for Conrad. She was confused, overwhelmed, and terrified. It makes sense, she’s loved Conrad most of her life, and she’s just kissed his brother, so her confusion and annoyance is understandable. Adult love is always a little scary.
Stomach feels like she’s finally grown
“They always see me as a kid, but this summer is different.”
Belly is determined to make a difference this summer. She feels like she’s finally grown up and ready to let others know.
Her feelings for Conrad haven’t gone away and she wants his attention on her. She was no longer a child, and she was ready to express her feelings, hoping Conrad would finally see her as his equal. It’s hard for Belly to bridge the gap that has formed between them during the winter months, but she hopes adulthood will help her bond with her brothers.
Jeremiah confesses his true feelings
“You’re my best friend. Sometimes I want more.”
Jeremiah and Belly grew closer over the summer, spending time alone and developing their friendship. In a heartfelt confession, Jeremiah confessed his feelings for Bailey.
This was a pivotal moment for Jeremiah; he knows Belly has a crush on his brother Conrad. Some fans think he is a better choice for Belly because of his selfless manners and kindness. Regardless of who is better for Belly, this moment is a critical one for their future relationship.
Bailey’s fight between Jeremiah and Conrad
“How do you know when it’s the right person?”
This summer, Belle falls into a love triangle, torn between her lifelong love for Conrad and her budding affection for Jeremiah.
She asks herself the hardest question anyone has to answer: How do I know when the right person is there? All summer, she was stuck between the two brothers and trying to figure out which one was right for her in her head, and the answer was always in her heart. Although she did not dare to admit it, in her heart she knew who was right.
what seems to be the end of a crush
“I wonder if all crushes died like this. With a whimper, slowly, just like that.”
Growing up from a love affair is a strange and awkward experience, especially for someone like Belly, who feels everything so deeply.
Her mood and feelings for Conrad have changed dramatically this summer. Suddenly, everything she used to be sure of slipped out of her fingers. Belle doesn’t know how to deal with these emotional changes and once again finds herself lost in the heat and emotions of summer. She is confused about her feelings and behavior.
The beauty of summer nostalgia
“There have been a few times this summer when I feel like I don’t understand my heart. But one thing I do know is that no matter what happens next, I’ll be back to this place and these people.”
It was the perfect end to the season, summarizing the ups and downs that Belly has been through throughout the summer. Despite everything, from forgotten love affairs to her first kiss, she can still spend the summer with the family of her choice.
It also shows this perfectly for the next season, which has been confirmed. There’s still a lot left to say after the season finale, leaving fans eagerly awaiting what’s next.
