*The Summer I Turned Pretty* ha mantenido una fidelidad sorprendente a la serie de libros de Jenny Han – hasta la temporada 3, cuando el programa introdujo algunos de los cambios más significativos en la pantalla.
Basada en las tres novelas de Han, *The Summer I Turned Pretty*, se centra en un triángulo amoroso entre Belly (Lola Tung), Conrad (Christopher Briney) y Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). La temporada actual está destinada a ser la última del programa, ya que finalmente Belly toma una decisión entre los hermanos.
La autora, que previamente dio vida a su aclamada serie *To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before* con tres películas de Netflix, ha hablado sobre cómo abordó la evolución de sus historias en la pantalla.
“Hay sorpresas. Y hay cosas que no son exactamente como los libros”, dijo Han a *Entertainment Weekly* en marzo de 2025 sobre el “satisfactorio” final para todos. “Un triángulo amoroso exitoso es aquel en el que, sin importar lo que suceda, alguien estará herido y desolado”.
Los Cambios Más Grandes entre la Serie de TV y los Libros
Continuando…
En la tercera novela, *We’ll Always Have Summer*, la historia se ambientó después del primer año de universidad de Belly. Los fans vieron a Belly y Jeremiah aproximadamente dos años después de haber comenzado su relación. Pero en el programa, llevaban cuatro años juntos y Belly era una estudiante de cursos superiores mientras Jeremiah era un estudiante de último año.
Las narraciones…
Han’s books were written in the first person narrative, which offered *Us* a glimpse into Belly’s state of mind. There were occasional moments when Conrad or Jeremiah got to share their perspective, but it was primarily Belly’s POV. In the name of storytelling, season 3 removed Belly’s inner dialogue from crucial scenes ripped straight from *We’ll Always Have Summer*.
Nuevas Romances…
More episodes meant more screen time that had to be devoted to other characters. As a result, Steven (Sean Kaufman) and Taylor’s connection was explored more and Belly’s parents and their reconciliation a new plot point.
Jeremiah also may have a new love interest in Denise (Isabella Briggs). In *We’ll Always Have Summer*, Jeremiah had a date at the end of the book but her identity wasn’t revealed and his love life wasn’t the focus.

Escena Flashback…
Season 3 featured a flashback scene showing the last time Conrad and Belly were together before their breakup. *We’ll Always Have Summer* had was no mention of Conrad and Belly having sex. In fact, the books made it clear that Belly wasn’t intimate with Conrad or Jeremiah.
Accidente de Carro de Steven…
On the page, Belly and Jeremiah got engaged after she found out he cheated and he tried to make amends by proposing. The TV version made it a bit more complicated by having Belly’s brother get into a car accident, which was more the catalyst for her to reconsider her split from Jeremiah.
Tiempo de Belly en París…
The final chapters of We’ll Always Have Summer feature a time jump between Belly and Jeremiah’s failed wedding and her eventual nuptials with Conrad years later. Belly explained in the epilogue how she went abroad (to Spain) before reconnecting with Conrad.
On the show, viewers got to see more of her time aboard as the show devoted several episodes to Belly’s adventures overseas.
Reconexión de Conrad y Belly…
As mentioned above, Belly and Conrad didn’t get in contact until he started to send the letters and then they met for the first time again at her graduation. The show took some liberties by having Belly nearly go to Conrad at the airport and then he was seen flying to Paris before the finale, which also didn’t happen in the book.
