The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Takes Paris Turn in Episode 9 as Finale Countdown Begins

The release underscores a pivot beyond the books, centering a Paris-set self-discovery arc that intensifies scrutiny of character accountability.

Overview

  • Episode 9, now streaming on Prime Video, shifts the story to Paris and focuses on Belly’s independence and reset after the called-off wedding.
  • Critics highlight slower pacing and an extended fallout focus, with several reviews arguing the episode overplays Jeremiah’s victim narrative without accountability.
  • Coverage notes escalating online hostility toward the Jeremiah character and actor Gavin Casalegno, prompting Prime Video to reiterate calls for respectful discussion.
  • The latest installment expands beyond Jenny Han’s novels, with a Paris storyline that diverges from the books’ brief epilogue framework.
  • Two episodes remain in the 11-part final season, with releases scheduled for Sept. 10 and Sept. 17.
