The second season of the novel-turned-TV series has the same innocence and hopefulness as Jenny Han's books.
From Left: Lola Tung , Christopher Briney in a scene from the new season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.” The second season of the popular show based on the Jenny Han books perfectly captures grief on screen.This piece has spoilers for Season 2, Episodes 1-3 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”
The moment ends abruptly with the slamming of a book on a linoleum classroom floor and Belly lifting her head off her desk. She rubs her eyes and thinks, “I wasn’t in Cousins. Conrad and I weren’t together, and Susannah was dead. Nothing would ever be the same again.” Her internal monologue dashes any hope that — as unrealistic as it seemed — everything is OK. Belly reinforces how different her new reality is when she narrates, “Escaping to your dreams is easier than living with your memories.
Before Susannah’s death, the beach house in Cousins was the constant in everyone’s life, the place they returned to every summer where they were never lost. But now even the beach house is at risk. After Susannah’s death, her half-sister wants to sell the house, and this conflict brings the characters back together in the second season.
