I didn’t watch the show but I read up on the source material and overviews of the show and found myself Team Conrad. That said-it all seemed so unhealthy and unhinged that this girl was sleeping with both brothers and found “true love” with one-like how awkward would family get togethers be after that. I like one person’s assessment that she just really wanted that summer house and belly was a sociopath that did want she had to secure that home.
Watch the show because there’s way more to that then folks who are male centered think.
I watched the show and there’s not a lot more to it than that. The boys’ mother dies and everybody talks about her with sad faces because she was the bestest person ever. Belly should have gone with door number 3 (Cam Cameron).
Ma’am-the television show made it so she slept with them both-that doesn’t happen in the book-but yes I’m male centered. Yikes bikes
I wish people did not take this work so literally. Like most books featuring young people and love triangles, it’s not about the choice of love interest, it’s about identity and coming of age. I beg you, internet, please, open your mind to subtext.
I’ve never seen the show but I had just assumed that the Jennie Han books were inspired by that old film Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn and Lola was essentially the Audrey character. Lol, did I just make that up though? All the clips I’ve seen have given me that vibe.
Lola is beautiful and talent as f*ck. Team Belly! (*chuckles warmly* and team Conrad.)
Did Baldoni’s old lawyer leave or was he fired?
Back in the Silver Spoon days is where my crush on Jason began. I wonder how he gets along with his fascist sister?
I forgot he was on SS. My crush started when he was on The Hogan Family (or “Valerie” if you’re REALLY old lol). I never read anything about him and Justine hanging out–I would imagine their relationship is strained at best.
Right??? While everyone had a crush on Ricky Schroeder I was team Derek. He was had a short lived sitcom called It’s your move.
Team no one. Both brothers suck.
Can’t take a show seriously when the main character is called Belly.
Only Murders in the Building is on Disney Plus. Not watching anymore.
Same, canceled.
I read the books first because my niece was into it. And she got her mom and me watching the show-all 3 seasons. Childhood friends, a parent died tragically, and It’s a triangle that involved 2 brothers in love with the girl they grew up with. Simple plot line that pretty much broke the internet and Prime video got a huge global hit in their hands. Lola’s first role , she was only 18 when she started the series and she’s grown to be stunning. Looks like Her next 2 projects are going to be away from romance and love triangles.
Are we kidding here with team Conrad?! Celebitches, this is so comme il fast. The guy who broods and tells you he doesn’t love you, treats you badly and breaks your heart–why do we always love this guy?
Personally, I am team # all these kids need to grow up and go their separate ways. The show does such a beautiful job of showing the intensity of these young years and I keep thinking that front page to screen, it just feels more right than the book ending that they all release each other and stop going to the beach and love beyond their high school circle. Jenny Han has said in interviews she wanted to go off book for the show and I’m wondering if they are going to have the courage to give the show, not the book, the ending it deserves. Which at this point is NOT about Belly ending up with either one of these fellows. (and wow, that name, Belly, and scant use of Isabel, really grated. It seemed increasingly contrived as well, and it was like the writers doubled down on it). I speak as a hugely invested fan, not critic.
Didn’t come here to say that though–I just wanted to say that I looked at the group picture and this is the most banging perfect styling for a cast press appearance that I have ever seen! Seriously–never seen such a great job of giving each actor their own personality and beauty and yet making them look like a cohesive group.
I agree with you. Isabel went back to a hs relationship that was pretty toxic imo, which many of the fans are ignoring. I was hoping too the ending of the series was going to be different, that showed better growth and character development than what it was. Instead the characters couldn’t get past high school. Idk if the movie would be any different.
I thought it was a cute show ala Dawson’s creek. Not that deep. She’s adorable. ❤️
