HELLO!'s Deputy Online Editor, Sharnaz Shahid, is a big fan of the show. She said: "I've always loved The Summer I Turned Pretty because it's the perfect summer escape - full of sun-soaked days and emotional twists. It captures nostalgia, those bittersweet coming-of-age moments and the magic (and mess) of first love. I was always Team Jeremiah but after what he did to Belly, I was left heartbroken... and unexpectedly found myself rooting for Conrad. Sometimes, the one who's been quietly hurting loves you the loudest."
The latest episode was told from the perspective of Conrad, who is coming to terms with Belly and Jeremiah's upcoming wedding.
Taking to social media, viewers hailed the episode as a "masterpiece" and called for more instalments from Conrad's point of view.
