No switching.
No “it depends.”
No neutral ground.
If you had to lock in your The Summer I Turned Pretty endgame forever, who are you choosing?
Conrad or Jeremiah?
And don’t just drop a name. Defend your man like your life depends on it.
Was it the fireplace scene?
The candy moment?
The jealousy?
The angst?
The chemistry?
Or are we being honest and admitting… it’s the looks?
Let’s break down one passionate take that has fans talking.
The “Virginity Changes Everything” Argument
For some viewers, the turning point is simple: Belly’s first time.
When Conrad Fisher and Isabel “Belly” Conklin cross that line, it permanently alters the dynamic.
In this perspective, once Belly and Conrad become that intimate, the brother is automatically off the table.
Not out of judgment. Not out of shame.
But out of long-term reality.
Future holidays. Family gatherings. Shared memories. That kind of history between siblings isn’t something you can just pretend doesn’t exist.
When Belly later moves toward Jeremiah Fisher, some fans argue the emotional complications were inevitable from the start.
The table was already set for tension.
Was Jeremiah Playing to Win?
A harsher take suggests Jeremiah knew exactly what he was stepping into.
He knew Conrad and Belly had history. He knew the depth. He knew what had happened between them.
And he pursued her anyway.
For some viewers, that’s romantic persistence.
For others, it’s competitive energy.
Was he trying to build a life with Belly? Or trying to win something that had always felt out of reach?
The idea that he wanted to hold the “I got Belly” card over his brother’s head is controversial — but it’s a theory that won’t go away.
Conrad’s Distance: Avoidance or Sacrifice?
Meanwhile, Conrad’s defenders point to something else entirely.
Instead of fighting dirty, he tried to distance himself. He tried to let them be. He attempted to move on and build a life separate from the triangle.
That restraint reads as maturity to some fans.
When you truly love someone, you don’t just erase them. You carry that emptiness quietly. You try to do the right thing even when it hurts.
And when Conrad eventually learns about Jeremiah’s betrayal, many believe that was the moment he realized something wasn’t sitting right.
Not out of jealousy.
But out of clarity.
Paris, Growth, and the Soulmate Theory
Time apart changed everything.
Belly’s time in Paris wasn’t just geographic distance — it was emotional growth. Reflection. Healing.
Some fans believe both she and Conrad needed that separation to become the people they were meant to be.
Call it fate. Call it timing. Call it destiny.
But for many, their reunion doesn’t feel accidental.
It feels inevitable.
Soulmate energy doesn’t disappear. It waits.
Let’s Be Fair: Jeremiah Isn’t the Villain
Even passionate Team Conrad fans acknowledge something important: Jeremiah wasn’t evil.
He was young. They all were.
Growing up as the younger brother can create deep-rooted insecurities. Living in someone else’s shadow leaves marks. That context matters.
And in a different story, with a different girl, Jeremiah could absolutely be someone’s endgame.
Just maybe not Belly’s.
So… Personality, Chemistry, or Looks?
At the end of the day, your answer probably depends on what you value most.
If you believe love is about history, depth, and enduring connection — you’re probably locking in Conrad.
If you believe love is about passion, choice, and fighting for what you want — you might still stand with Jeremiah.
Either way, this isn’t just about two brothers.
It’s about what kind of love story you believe in.
So choose wisely.
Because in this fandom?
There’s no switching sides.
