Show that's a sweet slow burn in this World Cup of rom coms

As calendars turn to September and the sun has started to cool, another summer has already slipped away. And in just one week's time, The Summer I Turned Pretty will air its final ever episode. Gen Z waits with baited breath.

- Jennifer Cartwright on The Summer I Turned Pretty

The Summer I Turned Pretty is a coming-of-age drama focused on Belly (Lola Tung), an American girl who finds herself entangled in a love triangle with two brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).

The show has offered an abundance of heartwarming and heartbreaking scenes along the way but now it's time for Belly to finally make up her mind.

The drama began as a teenage dream style of show. It was a gentle romance that celebrated young love that would have you giddy and crushing and dizzy and blushing. With bonfires on beaches and an abundance of boys to choose, summer tasted oh so sweet.

But as our favourite characters have grown up, The Summer I Turned Pretty has become more intense and more serious.

As Season Three begins with a four year time jump, Belly is no longer a naive teen with salt in her hair and sand in her shoes.

Instead, she's a college student with an immense amount of decisions to make about her future.
