The movie isn’t here yet. There’s no release date. No trailer. No official confirmation to hold onto.
And yet, The Summer I Turned Pretty fandom is right back where it always ends up — asking the one question that refuses to go away:
Team Connie or Team Jere?
What makes this debate so relentless isn’t just that both brothers loved Belly. It’s that they loved her in completely different ways — and fans see themselves in those differences.
Team Connie believes in inevitability.
In the idea that some loves are written into the story no matter how messy, painful, or quiet they are. Conrad is the slow burn, the internal storm, the one who feels too much and says too little. His love isn’t always gentle — but it’s deep, consuming, and impossible to erase. For Connie supporters, Belly and Conrad aren’t just a choice. They’re gravity.
Then there’s Team Jere — the heartbreakers of the fandom.
Jeremiah is presence. Warmth. Certainty. He shows up, speaks up, and loves out loud. He doesn’t make Belly guess. He doesn’t hide what he feels. And that’s exactly why fans argue he’s the healthier choice — the one who gives her joy instead of longing. For Team Jere, love shouldn’t feel like suffering just to prove it’s real.
And here’s the truth no one wants to admit:
Both sides are right — and that’s why it hurts.
Because Belly’s story isn’t about choosing the “better” brother. It’s about choosing between two truths:
-
The love that feels like home, even when it breaks you
-
And the love that feels safe, even when it isn’t the one your heart keeps circling back to
That’s why every rewatch reopens old wounds.
That’s why one line of dialogue can reignite a war.
That’s why waiting for the movie feels unbearable.
The debate isn’t really about Conrad vs. Jeremiah anymore.
It’s about whether love should be destiny… or decision.
And until the movie finally gives an answer — if it ever truly does — fans will keep asking. Posting. Arguing. Defending. Hurting.
So while we wait 🙃
We ask again.
Team Connie or Team Jere?
Because some summers end — but this argument never will.
