There’s one thing and one thing only I look for in a binge-watchable new summer TV show: teenage drama. Good thing The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 is going to be full of it. So to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action happening over at Cousins Beach, I’ve created this handy guide on how to watch The Summer I Turned Pretty for free, including the three new episodes from season 2 that premiered today on Amazon Prime Video.

As someone who grew up on Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars, I find something incredibly refreshing about the soapy coming-of-age storylines on The Summer I Turned Pretty. Unlike Cruel Summer, Riverdale, Euphoria, and other bingeworthy teen dramas on TV today, the show’s plot doesn’t revolve around kidnapping, murder, anonymous stalkers, or addiction. Just a good old-fashioned love triangle (and a Taylor Swift–filled soundtrack) that will have you equally as hooked.

Season 1 follows Belly (played by Lola Tung) throughout the first summer after she “turned pretty.” After returning to Cousins Beach with her brother Steven (Sean Kaufman) and her mom Laurel (Jackie Chung), Belly finally catches the eye of her childhood crush Conrad (Christopher Briney) and his brother Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).

Where can I watch The Summer I Turned Pretty online?

But before I get ahead of myself and spoil anything for those of you who haven’t watched season 1, I’ll remind you that The Summer I Turned Pretty is available exclusively on Prime Video. Read: You must be an Amazon Prime member to watch both season 1 and season 2 of the show.
