Both boys bring different attributes to the table and boast vastly different dynamics with Belly.
The question is: who is better for Belly?
Who brings out the best in her?
Who makes her feel alive bursting with uncontrollable lust and wonder?
Who makes her feel safe protected by a shield of shared vulnerability?
Who makes her heart skip a beat?

Who makes her smile from ear to ear?
At the end of the day, Conrad and Jeremiah would be vastly different as long-term partners.
So, lets break down Bellys relationship with each Fisher boy.
Jeremiah in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ | Prime Video
The boy she has wanted since she can remember.
The boy shes been ogling at from afar with stars in her eyes since she was in braces.
Conrad also boasts that mysterious and brooding nature thats oh-so-intriguing to the naive adolescent.
Theres something to uncover.
Its an aspiration almost never met.
She is addicted to making him the man she sees (or at least trying to).
Conrad is also very protective over Belly, and he thinks about her all the time.
He is a sweet boy just a broken one.
Hes thoughtful and compassionate (lets not forget about the necklace).
They make each other laugh with ease.
Jeremiah knows all of Bellys favorite snacks.
All her favorite movies.
All her hopes and all her dreams.
All her stories so many of which are wrapped up in him.
The two of them fit together like PB&J.
Its so easy, but it is a consequence of such ease that theres also a lack of tension.
Theres a lack of heat.
Its not inexistent, but it pales in comparison to the sparks Belly feels with Conrad.
Belly and Jeremiah are cute and cozy.
Belly and Conrad are hot and heavy.
That being said, Jeremiah will never leave Belly to wonder.
Hes open about his feelings.
Jeremiah is understanding and compassionate, but also fun-loving and free-spirited.
Jeremiah also reciprocates Bellys feelings from the start, making him the more reliable choice.
Yet, reliability and consistency arent always sexy when youre young and explorative.
It should be, but shoulds and coulds only go so far.
And, just maybe, when that happens, shell see the perfect match that is Jeremiah.
However, whether shell be worthy of him then is another question entirely.
