The main plot of the second season is after Susannah Fisher who is Conrad’s as and Jeremiah’s mom and Bellys mom best friend, she passed away 2 months before season 2 began, Belly, Jeremiah and Conrad go to save the beach house of their childhood in Cousins, In this season we see new relationships and development in characters, but what were the public’s thoughts in the new relationships between characters and how did you feel about the characters and the new season.
Julia Adams, a student at Joliet West High school, states her thoughts on the new season, “ I didn’t like it, the first season made me have high expectations, i also didn’t like belly this season” Last season got a lot of praise and attention with the plot, romance and story line of the series. This season was long awaited by audiences, to see the characters again and continue the story. What did they think of the characters and their new relationships? Julia stated “Belly used to be sweet in season 1 and she turned into a boy crazy and indecisive this season. Conrad got better overall especially with his depression. Jeremiah stayed the same overall the seasons.”
Belly had turned boy crazy and started to obsess over the fact that she was getting to spend another summer with Jeremiah and Conrad, she kept going from one to another. Julia said “Steven and Tayklor, I liked it, they were made to be bound to each other and both contrast and balance eachother out. Cam and Skye were very awkward with each other and i didnt like them.” Previously Steven and Taylor had a one sided love in the first season and then the same in season 2 but from a different perspective, so the audience expected them to happen. Cam and Skye had a very unexpected relationship especially after they had only known each other for just a few days or weeks. The season overall was unexpected and controversial, because everyone has a different perspective of what they had thought about it.
