The Summer I Turned Pretty: Sorry Fisher Boys, My Heart Still Belongs to Peter Kavinsky!
Abheet Gupta 
Let’s be real—The Summer I Turned Pretty has the internet in a chokehold right now. Every time a new episode drops, my feed is flooded with edits of Conrad’s smolder or Jeremiah’s sunshine smile. Girls are out here switching “teams” like they’re changing swimsuits—Team Conrad one day, Team Jeremiah the next. And trust me, I get it. The Fisher boys are objectively dreamy. They’ve got the windswept hair, the deep stares, the whole “I’d drive you home at 2 a.m. just because” vibe. Cousins Beach is practically a thirst trap at this point.
But here’s my little secret: no matter how many peach-wiping, boat-sailing, back-from-the-brink romantic moments the Fisher brothers throw at me, I just… can’t move on from Peter Kavinsky.
Yes, that Peter Kavinsky. The lacrosse-playing, scrunchie-stealing, “who’s gonna drive you home?” boy from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. He’s got a permanent residency in my fictional boyfriend hall of fame. While Conrad broods beautifully and Jeremiah charms effortlessly, Peter was out here spinning Lara Jean around in the cafeteria, writing her actual love notes, and making us all believe that maybe—just maybe—the golden retriever boy who sits behind you in chem class could be it.
The Fisher boys are summer flings; Peter Kavinsky is endgame energy. Conrad might lean on a doorframe like it’s a full-time job, but Peter? He’s the guy who makes you feel like the only girl in a crowded room. Jeremiah might make you laugh in the sunshine, but Peter is the one who would pick you up in the rain without a second thought.
So yes, I’ll watch the Fisher brothers battle it out for Belly’s heart. I’ll even swoon a little during the peach scene. But when the credits roll? I’ll still be rewatching To All the Boys, rooting for the boy who started the Netflix rom-com renaissance. Sorry, Cousins Beach—Peter Kavinsky has the real deed to my heart.
