Summer I Turned Pretty Star's Unexpected Announcement: Wait, What?!
Remember that cute, beachy summer romance we all binged on Netflix? Yeah, Summer I Turned Pretty – the one that made us crave the ocean and fall head over heels for Conrad Fisher (sorry, Jeremiah fans!). Well, the show's star, Lola Tung, just dropped a bomb on us that had everyone saying, "Wait, what?!"
It wasn't a new season announcement (though we're all desperately hoping for one!) or a "Conrad and Belly are together forever" update. Nope, Lola Tung, who plays the love-struck Belly, announced she's taking a break from acting! Yeah, you heard that right. She's trading in the camera for... college?!
College Over Hollywood: A Shocking but Smart Move
Now, we all know the Summer I Turned Pretty cast is bursting with talent. But for Lola Tung, acting was just a fun side gig. She's actually a serious student with a passion for learning – and a future beyond the silver screen. She's heading off to Yale University to major in English, a field that’s probably way more exciting than playing the same character for another season (even if that character is Belly).
Lola Tung's Future: A Mystery for Now
So, what does this mean for the Summer I Turned Pretty universe? Is this the end for Belly? Will Conrad and Jeremiah ever get their hearts broken by a real-life college girl instead of a fictional one? No one knows for sure, but we're hoping that Lola Tung's time away from acting is just a temporary detour – and that she’ll return to our screens, maybe even with a new, even better story to tell.
For now, we're just gonna have to enjoy all the Summer I Turned Pretty content we can, and maybe even crack open a good book ourselves in honor of Lola Tung's academic ambitions. Who knows? We might even find our own summer romance... in the library!
