The Summer I Turned Pretty: Belly's Real Problem, Explained

Go to http://uncommongoods.com/thetake for 15% off! | The Summer I Turned Pretty has become one of the biggest teen dramas of our current era, and one of the most contentious aspects of the show has actually ended up being the girl at the center of it all: Belly Conklin. She is quite the polarizing figure; while many find her to be relatable, others have had a very hard time connecting with her at all (and some have even come to see her as the villain of the show.) Belly’s story digs into the true messiness of growing up and trying to figure out who you are in a world that doesn’t always seem to make sense. She’s cringe, messy, indecisive, a little (okay, maybe a lot…) selfish – but not necessarily unrealistic. So let’s take a closer look at Belly and her story to uncover why her flaws are integral to her growth journey (even if they make us want to yell at the TV sometimes…)
