The Summer I Turned Pretty

Conrad or Jeremiah?
Conrad! How can you not want to be with him?!
Beck's boy jemeriah! He was always there for belly, and he was her first kiss, how sweet was that? Conrad, to put it in the nicest way possibly, was an ass hole to belly, and I can't believe that she didn't see that! Jeremiah was always the one, even thou he made a mistake he should always be her one and one :)
Sheridan says: Conrad for belly and Jeremiah for me :) Sheridan, you might have a little bit of competition!
Conrad! Definitely Conrad.
I love how you can really talk to Conrad and trust him with every bone in your body but Jeremiah is more of my type. Funny and willing to comfort you and be there by your side. Almost like a puppy
Jeremiah all the way!!

the whole entire book, I was in love with Jeremiah. He was sweet and blonde and adorable everything I think it awesome. He was cute and sweet and Conrad was an asshole most of the time...almost all of the time. When Belly and Jeremiah were crying together and they fell asleep together I just thought it was so sweet, but then I knew. She loves Conrad so freaking much, which in turn, made me want to love him too. The way he was so withdrawn from the world and how tortured he was with his feelings for her. Ugh.Bottom line, I was at a struggle until the end. Now I know I pick Conrad.
Conrad Fisher, of course! :)
Guys, thanks for all your great comments! XOXO
I would really like to know who you prefer, being the wonderful author of this series :)
I don't know, Conrad was kind of a jerk towards belly,and Jeremiah was so nice to belly and was kind towards her but however I do like the fact that was Conrad was a mysterious person and I loved the first book, I haven't read the rest of the series( I only read the first book which I loved ) but I would love to read the rest of the series ? I go for Jeremiah all the way!
I think I would be extremely attracted to Conrad, but I'd definitely say Jeremiah. I feel like we all need a Jeremiah in our lives. That person who can always make you smile, and cares about you more than you'll ever know.
I would probably say Jeremiah he seems more fun to be with.
Conrad and her are probably the cutest things in the world, but in a way, I still kind of think it's a little weird for them to date and stuff. He just seems to old for her, even though it's only a 2 and a quarter years age difference. Something about it is just...wrong. But SO cute!! It's just the fact that, yeah, she is 16, but she acts like she's 10, with her hissy fits and sticking her tongue out. It can get really annoying, but it's not like I'm saying that I'm not jealous of her love life, Ahah, cause I totally am. I had no clue who she'd end up with. I thought maybe, for a twist, it would be Jeremiah because he always knows how to cheer her up, and he's really nice, caring and sweet. But then I thought... she loves Conrad, and if you love someone, you can't just stop loving them. Especially if you don't want to stop. I felt bad for Jeremiah though. He deserves someone special, he's amazing. I prefer them just as really close friends though. And as for Conrad...he's complicated and a complete ass. Or so we thought. He's just sad, and a little lost. But not for long, because Belly comes to the rescue and helps him up again (: She has like a billion nicknames. Belly, Bells, Bean... Point is, Conrads awesome.
Conrad Fisher all the way! :)
well if i had to choose between the two i would chose jeremiah but i think conrad is meant for belly even though i thought belly and jeremiah were cute together.
In the end I'm Conrad all the way! But, throughout the series my opinions did change a lot on the matter. The first book I was for Conrad. Then, in the second book Jeremiah was acting totally sweet so I was happy they got together, until he decided to cheat... Like seriously? That made me rethink his whole character. Finally, In the third book where you got to hear Conrad's perspective and learned that he was totally serious about being in love with Belly, I was back to wanting them to get together. So, Yeah :)
i felt like she should have ended up with the dude she dated before them both. the guy she met at the bonfire. i can't remember his name i read these books so long ago.
So totally Conrad Fisher!Jere is.. ugh. He used to be sweet, but not in the last book.
Conrad<3 i luff-ed EVERYTHING about him. he might be a jerk but deep inside we all know he's the best!
Team Conrad! He may have isolated Belly and was always selfish, but in the end, he had the right intention. He dealt with his own issues, even though nobody understood that. He's a good guy!
How can you even THINK of Jeremiah? He cheated on Belly! If you can care at all for someone you just don't do that. Conrad had his reasons for keeping Belly away. As noble as he thought he was being - it was silly. Still - Conrad all the way.
Conrad. I understand that some readers felt that he was kind of, a jerk. But I don't know, i guess I just feel in love with the guy that is trying so hard to hide under his mask.
I pick Jeremiah because he is so kindful and nuturing
CONRAD ALL THE WAY! I liked jeremiah but Conrad was the one for and i kept waiting for him and belly to get together.
Jeremiah!!! I like guys who are outgoing like jeremiah!! not boring CONRAD!!!
Conrad, all day, everyday. He is definitely my favorite book boyfriend. Jeremiah was a good friend and all, but then he went and cheated on Belly, and he didn't tell her until she brought it up. Conrad was always in love with her, he was always looking out for her feelings, and he lied and gave Jeremiah the go-ahead because he thought that Belly needed him more. Plus, Conrad gave Belly infinity. <3
This is so difficult. I love the way Jeremiah is,so carefree,very loving but it just didnt seem right when it came to love for Belly. He really loved her alot for sure. Conrad is mostly not a person who talks so much about himself so its really difficult to understand his feelings too. But I support Conrad Fisher anyway.
Conrad definitely. Jeremiah really messed things up in the last book...
conrad. jeremiah was sweet, but kind of average.
i honestly fell in love with conrad. until he treated belly horribly. so im going to go with jerimiah. belly was just oblivious in the first two books.
I'm definitely in team Conrad!!!!! :)
jeramiah because have only the first one and he was such a gentlemen (endangerd species) %)

You know.. each guy had a great personality, and were really hot and decent people. But... for Belly, i would say that NEITHER of them were perfect for her. Seriously! I didn't feel that her marrying Conrad was the right thing at all.

I didnt like how the author made Jeremiah into the tosser who cheated on Belly and was an idiot frat boy who never knew what she wanted. Jer always seemed to know Belly the best in the other books, i dont get why in this one he suddenly didnt. And he always loved Belly, i dont get why he would cheat, the Jer i loved wouldnt do that. I loved Conrad too, but i felt i didnt see enough effort on his part, not until the very last parts of the last book, plus he took too long. I was glad when Belly decided in book two to move on without him, to be with Jer, i could have been happy with that ending. The last book made me wary about the whole series if im honest. xxx
Conrad !though he was a jerk throughout most of the books but there were points of the book were he did the sweetest things that you had to love him for <3

u'll find out the jeremiah cheated on Belly
and was always busy
but Conrad stayed with Belly and tried to be there for her the whole time
he also was the one to convince her mom to come to Belly's wedding
Jeremiah. He was always there for Belly.
Conrad! >.< I love his mysterious aloofness. I love how he was really senestive he just didn't always know how to show it.
Jane wrote: "Maddy wrote: "Beck's boy jemeriah! He was always there for belly, and he was her first kiss, how sweet was that? Conrad, to put it in the nicest way possibly, was an ass hole to belly, and I can't..."Yeah, but i hated how the author completely changed Jeremiah's character, he was always there for Belly in the other books, and Conrad was the insesitive one mostly. And i know people change over time, but i just didn't like how drastic the changes were, like it was forced, im re-reading them at the moment to see if i'll like them better than i did a year ago, you never know i might change my mind, you should always read a series more than once, just in case ;) xxx
Jeremiah he's so adorable with her i loved all their cute moments together . :)It's so strange how i can relate to this book everything seems like my life .That's why i love it so much i hope the love story will happen too .
jeremiah!!!!!!!!!!!!! conrad barley spoke 2 words!! but >> (sighs) i always knew belly was an idiot.... i am still annoyed but he loves her even when he cheated.... but then again.... forget it.... he would have married her knowing she loved conrad.. stupid conrad
Jeremiah!
Conrad !!!! i love his mysterious side it make me want to know more about him ....
My mind changed so many times in the course of all 3 books. Each guy had his moment to shine, and also bad moments as well. I think in books 1 and 2 I was totally 100% on jeremiah's side. He's just more of my type of guy I like guys who are funny and aren't afraid to look silly and I loved that he was always there for Belly. I spent the whole trilogy being torn over conrad I couldn't figure out if I hated him or I loved him. I loved how smart and mature he was but couldn't stand how he treated people. BUT, in the end i was satisfied with her picking Conrad even though a part of me felt crushed for Jeremiah ;(

Conrad knew he loved Belly from the beginning... He loved her enough to let her go when he knew keeping her for himself was a bad idea after his mom died. Remember when he was in college and that girl asked him if he was ever in love? He said once and it was Belly. Conrad also never cheated on Belly when they were going out unlike Jeremiah.
