We cannot believe that we are doing two back to back emergency pods! But we're SOOOOOO happy that is the case. We are diving DEEP into the newly released 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 Trailer.

Better With Glasses Pod presents our Other Conrads series featuring all of the other fictitious love interests that have Vicky somewhat goo-goo ga-ga.

Today's Other Conrad is Stars Hallow bad boy turned author and Rory's true match (IMO), Jess Mariano. In a world that's less about will-they won't-they and more about how many love interests Rory can juggle, Jess is Vicky's favorite in the sea of Deans, Logans and somewhat honorable mentions to Tristan, Marty and poor Paul.

It's Belly's sweet sixteen and our beloved summer family is really going through it. Join us, once again, as we recap all of the great moments that episode three of The Summer I Turned Pretty, "Summer Nights" has to offer including budding relationships, new challenges for old friends and infinity.
