*Contains Spoilers*

In this episode of the podcast, we are discussing the come down after the high of last week's finale and big announcement. We are so excited to be back and still with fun things to discuss. We are highlighting some of the key things we've learned about the movie, the post-script on scenes as discussed by the actors and just the lovely content that has come our way via cast interviews after the finale is finally out there for public consumption! More fun to come... we're just getting started!

*Includes Spoilers from the Show and Book Series*

In the last episode of Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' called "At Last" we finally get our endgame. The will they/won't they of Conrad and Belly finally comes to the forefront of the series in plot IN PARIS. This was as seamless and perfect as one could ask of a series finale! We are so excited to breakdown all of the scenes. From Jeremiah finding his way the new culinary world & making real progress in moving on from Belly with new goals/attitude/focus to Staylor...

*Contains some book and show spoilers*

Not much to say here. We are so excited and sad for the bittersweet series finale. We are discussing a little bit of fan theories but mostly how we think it will end. Do we think Conrad will be endgame? Yes. Do we think Belly will immediately be thrilled to see him? No. Do we think we will see them come back together? Yes. And if not, Vicky will not be okay... haha. Tune in as we predict and preview the last episode of our favorite show and give thanks to...

*Contains show and some book spoilers*

The penultimate episode of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 really delivered. It is the second to last episode of the series and man, did it do a great job tying up some loose ends and giving us hope leading into the finale. We are excited about this super-sized episode and are going to talk through scene by scene as usual. We are ready to discuss the Conrad and Jeremiah conversation, Belly's arc in Paris over the course of 8-9 months and of course, everything set up for chef Jeremiah finding...

*Contains show and book spoilers*

[Sans music/intro due to computer being dead but we will try to reupload when able]

We cannot believe we only have two episodes left of this wonderful world and show. We are very excited for the uncharted waters that Episode 10 of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 has to offer. Obviously we are anxiously waiting for the letter(s) to Belly and the reuniting of Bonrad but we also want to see 1) How Belly is doing in Paris 2) What is going on with the other characters...

*Contains book and show spoilers*

On this episode of the podcast we are reviewing and recapping Episode 9 of Season 3, called 'Last Call.' We follow Belly on her journey to Paris for what at first starts as running away but ends with a declaration to find herself. We also thoroughly enjoyed the character development we see and candidly, some of the funnier moments of what happens in the aftermath after the wedding is ruined. From Adam and Conrad to a very hurt and evil apple-eating Jeremiah to Staylor rekindling this episode had a lot of good moments...

*Contains some book spoilers*

As usual we are back for a preview podcast for 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' This time we are trying to predict what will happen in Episode 9. We are very much in unchartered water and have a very loose text to go off of. The wedding has been called off, Belly is at the airport and we know she ends up in France. Whatever else is going to happen and when we really have no idea but we are hopeful to see and we are at least talking about what we want...

*May contain spoilers/predictions*

In this bonus episode, we are specifically breaking down the SURPRISE end of series trailer that 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' just released on Friday! We are going to talk through each scene and what we think it means for how the last three episodes go. We also spend some time gushing over Paris, how happy we are for Belly's journey and for the CONRAD LETTERS MAKING AN APPEARANCE.

*Contains Spoilers from the Show and Book*

This episode was recorded a little differently so sorry for any differences or incontinuities. We had to talk on Zoom from different locations instead of both in studio. But what matters most, is we still spent damn near 2.5 hours discussing this glorious episode. Listen in as we break down arguably one of the best episodes of the series. A big secret is revealed and causes everyone to dish out some real talk and do some big thinking about this wedding! From forehead kisses to kitchen fights to...

*Contains book spoilers and related scenes!*

Fact Check: Joshua Jackson not in Free Willy.

In this episode of the podcast, we spend some time diving into where we are at this season so far of The Better With Glasses Podcast. We are getting closer to the end and wanted to take a moment to plug some giveaways and thank our fans. We also previewed a bit of how this next episode recap will go.

Most importantly, we predict what we think might happen in the next episode...

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*What a big episode and we're here to break it all down scene by scene. We will also compare the infamous beach fight to it's counterpart in We'll Always Have Summer and some other book-to-show changes because these are BIG. Episode 7 of Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' has got the light-heartedness that we love and is FINALLY set all in Cousins. It's got shenanigans and debauchery as Tay Tay calls it. But moreover, for better or for worse, it's got Belly tied up in knots over Conrad and Jeremiah...

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

Are we getting the bachelor / bachelorette party? Do we end with a heart-wrenching confession of love on the beach? Is there Conrad/Steven bonding? And what will it be like with everyone back in Cousins at the same time?

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

In this episode of the podcast we are sharing our thoughts on the latest episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Last Name. This was such a fun episode seeing the Fisher boys together, Belly's bachelorette and of course, Belly's reunion with Laurel and THE surf cut scene. It was so well done as an adaption with upgrades everywhere that felt so true to the show. It was so fun and the one-liners are so good!

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*In this episode of the podcast, we are gearing up for Episode 6. Cannot believe we're just about at the halfway point! We are expecting some apartment hunting from Jeremiah and Belly as Belly rushes off to Boston to avoid Conrad's passionate peach-scene glances? And now that Adam is paying for the wedding, what does that mean for Belly's dreams? And what happens once Jeremiah finds out about Kayleigh - or will he? There's a lot that could happen. Let's chat!

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

New podcast all about the Conrad Fisher mini movie is out (aka 'Last Dance'). This was the directing debut of Jenny Han and THE peach scene episode and Conrad's POV. It's full of unexpected twists on the original text that are delivered in a way no one was ready for. Listen in as we discuss Every. Single. Scene. for two hours!!!

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

Hey everyone... we are so excited about this next episode of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3. We all think it is going to be the Conrad POV episode with his narration. It will likely be sad but with some great present-day scenes spliced in. And while we have our hopes up for things we'd like to see, I think we are even more excited about the new twists on the material as we see Jeremiah and Belly navigate wedding planning apart and Belly living with Conrad (presumably).

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

There are just so many lovely thoughts about this episode. We were so excited to rewatch and discuss these scenes. There is a lot to unpack as we watch Belly's grief, Jelly trying to stand their ground and gain support for their decision and of course, Conrad coming in with the biggest sacrifice/romantic gesture I think we've seen to date. It hits us in the feels and this episode is the true return to Cousins and the rollercoaster with heart that we've come to love about the series.

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

We're back again before Episode 4 of Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Let's discuss where we think episode 4 picks up and where we end up by the end. Will there be a Taylor Swift song? What is going on in Conrad's head that makes him STAY after all that? How heartbreaking are Laurel/Belly scenes going to be? We're gonna dissect it all.

*May contain book and/or show spoilers*

This was such a hard watch no matter who you root for! From Belly's insane development to Conrad's worst nightmare come true to Adam Fisher antics... only to be left with bewildered parents, an embarrassed Jeremiah, hopeless Belly and a broken Connie baby. The rollercoaster is back and you know what... we're ok. We're sad and tortured but its gonna be okay.

*Contains Spoilers*

Where do we go next after Conrad gets fired, Steven is physically and emotionally on the mend and Belly/Jeremiah are engaged? Well, if we are correct, we're all on our way back to Cousins. Most of us are going to celebrate a memorial dedication for Susannah but some of us are running away from home? And possibly an attempt to face their feelings, ahem, Conrad. Listen in because we're so excited!

*Contains books and show spoilers*

The only thing better about one episode is two episodes!!! This episode is now lovingly called the Ballad of Med Student No. 1. We are so excited to discuss our scene, this very dramatic episode & of course, Bonrad Christmas in Cousins Pt. 2.  This is a rough watch especially because we care for all of these characters so much but we're here to break down every tear, every apology, every flashback and the big proposal.

*Contains books and show spoilers*

It's back and we are so back! In this episode, we are fully breaking down the whirlwind of things that have happened to and are currently happening in the lives of our favorite Cousins Beach characters. It's been 4 years and we are so thrilled to talk about Conrad rising, Jeremiah and Belly relationship & the Staylor messiness.

Gotta say, this is a tough watch! It's so nice to see fences being mended and things with the house coming to a close and the Fishers/Conklins dance party. But of course, that all comes to a screeching and very awkward halt.

Belly, Jeremiah and Conrad finally hold no punches, interact with utter honesty and come to terms with the love she has for each of them. It's sad and beautiful. And it got Casey right in the feels!

And a special thanks to everyone who wrote in and participated in this entire series. It was so fun to hear/see/read all of your takes on each...

On Friday, June 7th Prime Video/The Summer I Turned Pretty hosted an event for fans with the cast sharing some behind-the-scenes insights on some parts of Season 2, Episode 4. We're going over our thoughts and recapping the Watch Party which included some commentary by Lola, Rain, Gavin and Chris alongside of Episode 4 of Season 2 (Love Game)... aka the boardwalk episode.

On this episode of the Better With Glasses Podcast, the girls are reunited and it feels so good. This is part one of two parts. In this episode we answer the questions on every girls' mind: 1) What did we think of Mean Girls and was there enough Chris? 2) What scenes and plot devices are we predicting for TSITP Season 3 and 3) What about Connie Baby's new look!?!

Part 2 will feature more Bonrad, answering fan submitted questions & a discussion about The Tortured Poets Department.

We're doing a 'emergency' episode to announce how we're going to increase engagement/opportunities with fans AND our exciting content to help bridge the drought between Summer 2024 and Summer 2025 when we'll be reunited with our beloved 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' characters!

Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' will be out in the Summer of 2025. This news is paired with promos and we're going to discuss it all!

Book Club Assignment #9:

Read Chapters 53-THE END 

Due Date: Next Week

In this episode of book club we are reviewing and breaking down Chapters 40-45 of 'We'll Always Have Summer.' Things are getting complicated for our heroine as almost kisses, jealousy, fond memories and mixed feelings enter the picture!! What's a girl to do???

Did you hear the good news!?!? We’re back with anotherepisode of ‘Other Conrads’ and we’re talking about NHIE’s Paxton Hall-Yoshida. Yes, it’s true. Vicky is Team Paxton but was there ever any doubt? A smart, inexperiencedgirl and a crush finally reciprocated by a popular, older, seemingly unattainable guy? Sounds just crazy enough to work but Belly is not Devi and Ben is not Jere - listen in as we discuss and debate!

In this episode of the podcast, we have so much to discuss! Michael's trips, THE peach scene and some Jere/Belly marriage arrangements bring to light the MESSINESS of this triangle. Listen in as we discuss and share our own anecdotes that prove just how realistic some of these topics, settings and situations truly are.

On this episode of the podcast, we take a little break from 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' to review and recap our experience seeing Lola Tung in her Broadway debut in Hadestown. From Belly to Eurydice, Lola brings such a loveable and heart-breaking innocence to the role and we're excited to share our thoughts and our experience!
