The summer when I became beautiful, what does it say?
Isabel “Belle” Conklin (Lola Tung) spends the summer at Cousins Beach with her mother and older brother, as well as friends.

A year after its standout first season, the novel adaptation The Summer I Became Pretty returns to Prime Video. Looking for the perfect series for your summer vacation? You may have just found it!
This article will reveal elements of the first season of The Summer Where I Got Pretty.
Who loves who again?
If you’re trying to reminisce about your 16th birthday, it’s quite possible that memories of budding love, rivalry, and betrayal will come to mind. All teenagers go through these stages at some point, and young Belle is no exception!
First, there is Konrad, whom Belle has known since childhood and has always had a crush on. This athletic and popular young man, played by Christopher Brynn, is the star of his school. Convinced that she has a chance with him, Belle is disappointed to see him getting close to another girl, Nicole (Summer Madison).
And to add fuel to the fire is Jeremiah, Konrad’s big brother. Much gentler and more attentive than his younger brother, he is also very attached to his belly, whom he gradually grows closer to until he ends up inviting her to the summer ball. The situation gets tense and two brothers face each other. Between Konrad and Jeremiah, the heart of the stomach turns. Which one will you choose?
On the other hand, Stephen (Sean Kaufman), Belle’s brother, is far from it. In a relationship with Shayla (Minnie Mills), the young man slips into a slightly drunken evening and gets a little too close to Taylor (Rain Spencer), his little sister’s best friend. A secret that Belle finds difficult to witness despite herself and difficult to keep…
And then there are the parents who also have secrets and adventures. The summer ends on a particularly sad note when Susanna (Rachel Blanchard), Conrad and Jeremiah’s mother, learns that she has cancer. Will they return to Cousin’s Beach next year?
Here you are ready to catch the second season of The Summer I Got Beautiful starting July 14th on Prime Video!
