Okay, let's talk about The Summer I Turned Pretty. Specifically, watching it. Online. You know you've done it.
The Great Summer Debate
Are you team Conrad or team Jeremiah? This is the question that has plagued friend groups all summer. My unpopular opinion? Both are...fine.
Don’t @ me. I said what I said.
Finding Your Perfect Watch Spot
First, you need to find the perfect watching environment. Is it your couch? Your bed? Hiding in the bathroom for "five minutes" of peace?
Wherever you choose, make sure snacks are involved. Preferably something summery like watermelon or ice cream.
And don't forget your phone. You know, for "research" on the actors' dating lives. Purely for research purposes, of course.
The Streaming Struggle
Finding a reliable place to stream can be a whole ordeal. There's always that one website that looks suspiciously like it was designed in 1998.
Or the one that promises HD quality but delivers something closer to a blurry potato. We've all been there.
But fear not! A quick Google search and a prayer to the streaming gods should do the trick. Hopefully.
The Binge-Watching Black Hole
You tell yourself you'll just watch one episode. Famous last words, right?
Suddenly, it's 3 AM, and you're emotionally invested in the love triangle. Your sleep schedule? A distant memory.
Who needs sleep when you have Cousins Beach and angsty teen drama?
Reliving Your Awkward Years
Watching The Summer I Turned Pretty is like reliving your own awkward teenage years. The crushes, the first kisses, the questionable fashion choices.
It's both cringey and nostalgic all at once. You might even find yourself relating to Belly's awkwardness a little too much.
Hey, we've all been there. Rocking braces and questionable haircuts.
The Soundtrack Obsession
Let's be real, the soundtrack is half the reason we're watching. Those perfectly curated songs that make you feel all the feels.
Next thing you know, you're creating a The Summer I Turned Pretty playlist on Spotify. Ready to soundtrack your own summer adventures (or just your commute).
Suddenly, you are Belly, walking on the beach. The power of music!
The Unpopular Opinion: The Beach Is Overrated
Okay, controversial, I know. But hear me out. Beaches are sandy. And hot. And full of screaming children.
Give me a cool, air-conditioned room and a laptop any day. Watching other people enjoy the beach is way more appealing.
Plus, you don't have to worry about sunburn or sand in your swimsuit. Win-win!
The Joy of Guilty Pleasures
Let's be honest. The Summer I Turned Pretty might not be high art. But it's entertaining.
It's a perfect escape from reality. Sometimes, you just need to switch off your brain and enjoy some teenage drama.
So go ahead, embrace your guilty pleasure. Binge-watch away, my friends! You deserve it.
And remember, it's okay to be team "watching from the comfort of my couch." No judgement here!
