About this listen

Are you Team Jeremiah, Team Conrad… or Team “Belly needs therapy and a passport”? On this episode of AW Confidential, we dive deep into the love triangle at the center of Prime Video’s hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty, but make it real. Like, painfully real.

We’re not just talking beach romances and brooding stares—we’re unpacking codependency, emotional maturity, self-worth, and the dangerous ways we lose ourselves in the name of love. With Jeremiah, Belly becomes passive and self-sacrificing. With Conrad? She shines. This episode explores how the people we date can either shrink us or help us rise, and why the kind of love we choose reflects where we are in our healing.

From toxic patterns to trauma bonds, from canceling Paris for a boy to the now-iconic peach scene (yes, we said what we said), this convo is part fangirl therapy session, part truth-telling mirror.

Whether you watch the show or not, you’ll see yourself in the mess. Because let’s be honest, we’ve all been Belly at some point.

💔 Love, identity, validation, self-sabotage… It’s all on the table. And this summer? We’re turning pretty honest.
