The first episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, titled “Love Lost,” picks up one year after the events of the first season. Belly (Lola Tung) is back in Cousins Beach for the summer, but things are very different this time around. Susannah (Rachel Blanchard), Belly’s mother, has passed away, and Belly is still struggling to cope with her grief. She’s also not in contact with either of the Fisher brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), who she was caught in a love triangle with last summer.
The episode follows Belly as she tries to navigate her new normal. She’s dealing with the pain of her mother’s death, her strained relationships with the Fisher brothers, and the pressure of her senior year of high school. But even in the midst of all of this, Belly is still finding moments of joy. She reconnects with her old friends, makes new ones, and falls in love with Cousins Beach all over again.
“Love Lost” is a beautifully written and acted episode that sets the tone for what’s sure to be a heartbreaking and heartwarming season. Lola Tung gives a standout performance as Belly, and the supporting cast is also excellent. The episode is full of memorable moments, from Belly’s emotional reunion with her grandmother to her first kiss with Jeremiah.
If you’re a fan of The Summer I Turned Pretty, then you won’t want to miss “Love Lost.” It’s a powerful and moving episode that will stay with you long after you’ve finished watching.
