Despite his character being something of a jerk or "asshole" to everyone throughout the novel, getting drunk and locked in his room, it is hinted at that he has developed newfound romantic feelings for Belly. However, it appears that Conrad now suddenly sees her as a girl, not a little sister figure as before. While Conrad has always cared for her in a brotherly sense, he strictly saw her as "his best friend's little sister". He has been Belly's crush since early childhood, a fact well known by everyone. He showed a typical brotherly protective side towards her at times, though. Prior to the trilogy, as seen in flashbacks throughout the first novel, Conrad had not seen Belly as anything more than his best friend's little sister. When she realizes she also has feelings for his brother, Jeremiah, and the younger brother wants to start a relationship with her, it only serves to further complicate matters between them. The relationship faces obstacles due to Conrad's unstable negative emotions regarding his mother's death and inability to express his general true feelings, which leaves Belly frustrated. Despite this, the two show repeated signs of still harboring feelings for each other and have a rather rocky and unclear relationship together. However, it meets a crash and burned ending by the following novel, It's Not Summer Without You. By the end of the novel, the two enter into a relationship. It is only in The Summer I Turned Pretty that Conrad finally began returning her feelings after she "blossoms" into a beautiful young girl and he finally takes notice of her. While Belly had a childhood crush on Conrad, he never returned the feelings, and her crush was largely known in the family. Their relationship begins as close friends as they grew up together throughout the many summers she and her family spent at their beach house. The relationship between Isabel Conklin and Conrad Fisher is a central, if not the main, relationship of The Summer Series.
