Spoilers for the primary two episodes of The Summer time I Turned Fairly Season 3 and the e book We’ll At all times Have Summer time are forward! Learn with warning, and watch the present with an Amazon Prime subscription.
To be blunt, the season of The Summer time I Turned Fairly that’s now airing on the 2025 TV schedule had an uphill battle forward. That is as a result of I used to be not a fan of how We’ll At all times Have Summer time dealt with Stomach and Jeremiah’s relationship. Nevertheless, after watching the primary two episodes of Season 3, I’m thrilled to report that the present has fastened my largest difficulty with the novel in ways in which left my jaw on the ground.
Now, my largest difficulty with We’ll At all times Have Summer time has to do with Jeremiah and Stomach getting engaged as teenagers proper after she realized that he’d slept with one other lady over spring break. It was a rash and illogical resolution that I might by no means perceive or get behind. And that also occurs within the book-to-screen adaptation. Nevertheless, some main adjustments had been made to make all this make far more sense.
The Story Juxtaposes Jeremiah And Stomach’s State of affairs With Steven And Taylor’s
In brief, the present made the story messier for Steven and Taylor, which put Jeremiah and Stomach’s state of affairs into perspective, no less than to me.
Steven and Taylor’s relationship has grow to be a fan-favorite aspect of the present (and it doesn’t exist within the e book), and I don’t learn about you, however I all the time wish to root for them. That help continued in Season 3, because it was revealed they’d been on once more, off once more, and of their newest rekindling, they’re each dishonest on their companions. That’s dangerous. Like actually dangerous. Nevertheless, I nonetheless need them to be collectively.
So, if I’m hoping they wind up collectively, it makes me reexamine what Jeremiah did to Stomach.
Clearly, it’s horrible. Nevertheless, what Steven and Taylor are doing is horrible, too. Subsequently, I’m over right here debating what’s occurring much more, as a result of how might I be right here for 2 individuals dishonest to be collectively and upset with Jeremiah for sleeping with one lady when he and Stomach had been on a break?
Steven’s Accident Heightens Everybody’s Feelings, Which Helps Justify A Grand Gesture
Within the e book, Jeremiah spontaneously proposes to Stomach proper after she realized about spring break. That additionally occurs within the present; nevertheless, it happened after Steven’s accident, which is presumably one of many surprises that writer and showrunner Jenny Han teased.
He practically died in a crash that occurred proper after an enormous combat he had with Taylor. As he was recovering, everybody was enthusiastic about how quick life may be, and what they wished after this. So, grand gestures do make a number of sense on this context.
Whereas I nonetheless assume Stomach and Jeremiah’s engagement isn’t a superb resolution, I get their rationale. Their feelings had been heightened, they usually determined they didn’t wish to be aside. Is marriage the fitting selection? No. Nevertheless, I can no less than perceive their logic behind this transfer.
To Put It Merely, They’re Older And Not Actually Teenagers
Lastly, Stomach and Jeremiah have been collectively for principally all of school once they get engaged within the present. Within the e book, she was 19 they usually had been collectively for not practically as lengthy. Teen marriage is rarely a superb resolution in my thoughts, and that, combined with the truth that they hadn’t been collectively very lengthy, made me despise their engagement.
Within the present, Stomach is simply ending her junior yr, and Jeremiah is about to graduate (though he realized he’d have to remain another semester). They’d been collectively for practically 4 years, they’re each of their 20s, and this developmental chapter of their lives was developing on its last pages.
So, I might get behind their option to get engaged a bit extra.
General, all of that is actually stunning as a result of they in the end helped rationalize this selection by way of some chaotic and life-threatening adjustments. However, by making it messier, shopping for into this fast resolution turned simpler.
New episodes of The Summer time I Turned Fairly drop on Amazon Prime each Wednesday.
