Who Does Belly Really End up with? the Shocking Twist in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Book 3
By Elena Rostova
Wedding day arrives, but Jeremiah disappears. Conrad tracks his brother down, finding him nursing a hangover and simmering rage. Jeremiah confronted Conrad, and the physical scuffle that followed stripped away all brotherly civility. Jeremiah realized Conrad still loved Belly, and he suspected Belly felt the same way.
When Jeremiah returns to the beach house, he talks with Belly directly in the bridal suite. He asks her directly if she still loves Conrad. Belly cannot give him an untruthful answer. Jeremiah refuses to be anyone's second choice, and Belly realizes that marrying Jeremiah to prove her devotion will only ruin both of them. They mutually call off the wedding hours before guests take their seats. It is an excruciating, quiet collapse rather than a theatrical altar scene.
