The Summer I Turned Pretty fans will no doubt already know that the new series is based on the iconic Jenny Han trilogy of the same name. Just like the series, the books see Belly caught in a love triangle, well square, with three boys vying for her attention. There's Cam, her kind first boyfriend, Conrad, her broody first crush, and Jeremiah, Conrad's carefree brother.

Belly breaks up with Cam midway through season 1 after confessing that she's in love with someone else and, at the end of the season, Jeremiah reveals that he's in love with Belly. Belly begins considering a relationship with Jeremiah. He's set to take her to the debutante ball but, when Jeremiah finds out that his mum Susannah has cancer, Conrad fills in for him.

The season, like the book, ends with Belly and Conrad revealing that they're in love with each other and it looks as though they may finally take a crack at a relationship together. Should the second series stay true to the second book, It's Not Summer Without You, Belly and Conrad will properly date each other going forward.

However, Susannah dies in the second book and this causes Conrad to pull away from Belly and insist that she be with Jeremiah instead. In the third and final book, We'll Always Have Summer, Belly and Jeremiah start a serious romantic relationship and go to college together.

Things begin well, but at college Jeremiah cheats on Belly at a frat party and she ends things with him. In response, Jeremiah begs Belly to forgive him and he proposes to her. Despite her family's concerns, Belly agrees.

QUIZ: Which The Summer I Turned Pretty boy would date you?

As for Jeremiah, he and Belly decide to be friends and he attends Belly and Conrad's wedding with an unnamed date. We imagine that the series may explore who that is in further depth. Meanwhile, Cam only appears in the first book.

Whether or not the series makes any changes to this storyline going forward remains to be seen.

What do you think? Are you team Conrad or team Jeremiah?
