Show notes

*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 to happen. Listen in to get ready for this highly anticipated episode!

Show notes

*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 Jeremiah truths revealed... and Belly trying desperately to keep it altogether this plot MOVED and it was so rewarding. The big reveal at the end was everything! We are so excited to share our thoughts and takes on Last Kiss!

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 (Episode 8 of Season 3). There are so many book moments and plot points we think the writers will keep from the original text and we're excited to see everything leading up to the realization that this wedding should be called off!

S3, Ep. 7: Last Hurrah Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

*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 - one of whom she's marrying. The episode is fun and fast only to end in heartbreak for damn near everyone. Belly's voice is back and so is Taylor Swift singing softly in the background.

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?

S3, Ep. 6: Last Name Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

*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!

Season 3, Ep. 6 Preview: Peach secrets and now Kayleigh is the wedding planner? Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

*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!

S3, Ep. 5: Last Dance Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

*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!!!

S3 Ep. 5 Preview: What have I done?!?! & Wedding Planning Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

*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).
