Plus, it reminds viewers that these are teens and are still growing up and it gives a better outside view of Belly’s actions and state of mind over the summer. It also serves to clearly show the money differences between the Conklins and the Fishers. For example, Belly doesn’t have many friends outside of Taylor. For the purposes of a show, especially one that wanted to move away from being solely first-person narrated, it made sense to introduce a big plot point that created opportunities for new characters and moved the story along.Įven though it didn’t exist in the book, the debutante scene works wonderfully to carry some of the key points from the book. Plus, a lot of what is happening throughout the book is primarily happening inside Belly’s head. The book is wonderful, but it really only has about six characters that carry the story: Belly, Conrad, Jeremiah, Cam, Laurel, and Susannah. The entire debutante storyline was added completely for the purposes of the series, and in some way it makes sense.
In the case of The Summer I Turned Pretty there are three of these big notable changes that I want to talk about, plus two smaller changes that might end up becoming one of those big changes in future seasons. While every screen adaptation makes some changes to the book’s plot, there are definitely some changes that are more notable than others. Warning: From this point on there will be spoilers for both the show and the book.
