UPDATE: Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) are expressing disappointment following the series finale aired on September 17, 2025. The conclusion of the much-anticipated love triangle between Belly and the Fisher brothers has sparked an urgent debate online, with many viewers deeming the finale a ‘missed opportunity.’
The final episode culminates in a dramatic moment as Belly (played by Lola Tung) chooses Conrad (portrayed by Christopher Briney) just in time for her birthday in Paris. However, despite the romantic setting and heartfelt confessions, fans are divided on the execution. They argue the episode felt rushed, leaving many key moments unexplored.
In the finale, Conrad rushes to Paris, where he and Belly share a pivotal moment that leads to a passionate declaration of love. Yet, as the credits roll, viewers are left yearning for more. The finale ends with a nostalgic photo album, showcasing a Christmas in Paris, rather than moments of engagement or wedding scenes that fans desperately wanted to see.
“Conrad, I choose you of my own free will. If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you in every one of them,” tweeted a fan.
While many fans celebrated the conclusion of the long-standing romance known as ‘Bonrad,’ others took to social media, expressing their dissatisfaction with the lack of depth in the finale. “We deserved more scenes of Belly and Conrad’s future together,” one viewer lamented, while another noted, “Jenny Han forced me to watch hours of how a wedding was planned but she couldn’t give me a single scene of Belly and Conrad’s wedding.”
Fans were particularly vocal about the absence of key storylines, including Belly’s reunion with her mother, Laurel (played by Jackie Chung), and the unresolved mystery surrounding Susannah’s letter. “Just realized something… Belly still hasn’t read Susannah’s letter. What does this mean? A special episode?” one tweet questioned, capturing the sentiments of many.
Despite the finale being confirmed as the last episode of TSITP, there’s a glimmer of hope among fans. Author Jenny Han hinted at a possible continuation in a letter shared after the credits, saying, “Maybe we’ll meet again one summer in Cousins. Until then — All of my love always, Jenny.” This has fueled speculation about a potential bonus episode, leading fans to dream of more content and deeper explorations of their favorite characters.
As discussions continue to trend on social media, fans are left in a state of anticipation, hoping for a resolution to the unanswered questions raised in the finale. Will there be a special episode? Only time will tell. For now, the hashtag #TSITP remains a hot topic of conversation as viewers seek clarity and closure.
