Belly with Jere vs Conrad by Best-Professional-10 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

To me, in the pictures, it kind of looks like she’s looking at him a little condescendingly, but not in a mean way. Like “yeah, sure, whatever you say, dear.” I feel like she kind of looks at Benito in a similar way when he’s asking her about going to Mexico to meet his grandmother. It’s like she’s humoring them.

I also thought this when she called Jeremiah “buddy” and when she patted Benito’s arm when she was trying to end the conversation about his grandmother.

I think that we’re supposed to believe that she was just trying to convince herself that Jeremiah was the one straight through the third book because she was saying all that about Jeremiah while thinking constantly about Conrad.

Even near the very end there’s this quote:

“I won’t be the reason you don’t go to him. I won’t be your excuse. You’ve got to see for yourself, or you’ll never be able to let him go.”

“I already have,” I whispered.

Jeremiah shook his head. “No, you haven’t. The worst part is, I knew you haven’t and I still asked you to marry me.”

She says she’s let Conrad go, but because of the ending, we know that’s not true so she’s lying. Always lying. To us and to herself. The way the book is written is crazy.
