Who doesn’t love a summer romance? The Summer I Turned Pretty knows this better than most—this coming-of-age Prime Video show revolves around 16-year-old Belly Conklin and her complicated relationship with the Fisher brothers, the sons of her mom’s best friend. While the series explores grief, friendship, family, and what it means to grow into your self, one of the biggest questions it asks is: How do you decide where to put your love? And who is worthy to give it to?
