'The Summer I Turned Pretty 3' Gets Mixed Fan Reviews Despite Crossing 25 Million Views In A Week

The Summer I Turned Pretty is a television series which was first released on June 17, 2022, on Amazon Prime Video. The show is based on the novel trilogy by Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty. The second season of the show premiered on July 14, 2023, and it was in August 2023 when the makers confirmed the show would return for its third and final season. After two years of anticipation, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 has finally been released, and here is what the fans think about the show.

The Summer I Turned Pretty is back with its third season

The third season of the show, The Summer I Turned Pretty, was released on Amazon Prime Video on July 16, 2025. The show brought back the romantic triangle of 'Belly Conklin', 'Conrad Fisher' and 'Jeremiah Fisher' for the third instalment. However, it seems like the audience is tired of going in circles. For the unversed, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is the final instalment in The Summer I Turned Pretty series by Jenny Han, and after two successful seasons, fans and makers were certain that the show would end with a bang. Unfortunately, it seems not all are pleased with the series. The show has released four episodes so far, and fans feel like they have been going in circles.

While the fans were beginning to enjoy The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, it took a massive step back from its preceding seasons. While it was understood that the show would have a more mature tone given that the three leads had grown up since season 2, fans felt like certain scenes were dragged and on the other hand, scenes like where 'Jeremiah' proposes to "Belly' fail to create the impact that they had hoped for. While they are loving the return of 'Conrad' in the series, their presence seems limited in the show. Some fans are loving the more realistic, mature, and relatable growth of the show, while others are missing the old sunlit charm of the show.

Netizens react to The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3

Netizens soon took to their social media handles and shared their views on the show. While some stated that they had been skipping through the show, others felt the storyline had captured their hearts. A user penned, "The summer I turned pretty is so bad, the actors don’t know what they are doing, the writers don’t know what they are doing. Horrible acting, weird ass plotline. I feel ashamed I even watched it." Another penned, "These two idiots mocking each other and Conrad's response being a miserable sigh is a clear summary of the first four chapters of the third season: The Summer I Turned Pretty."

Some users even took to the discussion platform, Reddit and shared their views. A user penned, "Them mocking Conrad on the pool literally pmo so much. I was praying for Conrad to leave and never come back." Another wrote, "The only thing bringing me peace is knowing Cam Cameron is somewhere on a whale boat being wistful in big rubber overalls away from all these freaks." A comment read, "I’m going into this episode assuming it’s filler, but with some key nuggets, that’ll get us to the meat and potatoes of the season."
