how did the summer i turned pretty books end

The series "The Summer I Turned Pretty" ended with Belly choosing Conrad as her love interest. In the finale, Conrad arrives in Paris on the day before Belly’s 22nd birthday, and they spend the day reconnecting, including an intimate moment. Though there is some initial doubt and tension, Belly ultimately runs after Conrad to confess her love. The series concludes with Belly and Conrad returning to Cousins Beach as a couple, walking into the beach house hand in hand, signaling a happy ending for their relationship. The show’s ending deviates from the book's epilogue in some ways but maintains the core resolution of Belly and Conrad being together. In the original book trilogy by Jenny Han, especially in "We'll Always Have Summer," Belly ends up marrying Conrad, with their wedding day featured in the epilogue and a scene of them enjoying the ocean together. Jeremiah, the other love interest and Conrad's brother, breaks off his engagement with Belly after confrontations with Conrad and moves on, eventually cooking and living in Boston, as depicted in the show. Thus, both the show and the books resolve the love triangle with Belly choosing Conrad, culminating in their union and the ending of the series revolving around their relationship and return to Cousins Beach.
