- Jenny Han's "Summer I Turned Pretty" novel was adapted into a series on Amazon Prime.
- The series plays multiple Taylor Swift songs and there's a nod to her on the volleyball board.
- There are references from the book, like the stuffed animal from Conrad — and Han makes a cameo.

Belly has a polar-bear plushie in her room named Junior Mint. She and Jeremiah comment on the bear, and Conrad later pokes it while he's looking for Belly in her room, but no one mentions where it came from.
In the book, we learn that Conrad won the bear for Belly at the boardwalk when she was younger.

Belly tries on several dresses while shopping with Laurel and Susannah.
The dress Belly ends up wearing to the first debutante tea is one that Laurel picked out at the store, though Belly never tries the dress on during the shopping montage and isn't seen in it until arriving at the tea.

While arguing at the bonfire, Conrad mentions that Steven and Belly left Cousins early the previous summer so that Steven could look at colleges.
This could be a reference to the book, where Steven is gone for most of the summer looking at schools with his father.
Mentioning that Belly was out of town before last year's debutante ball also explains why she doesn't know any of those girls until the bonfire.

When Belly shows up to the debutante tea with a bruise on her face, Shayla offers to cover it.
She reaches into a bag and pulls out a makeup sponge that already has a dab of foundation on it and covers up the bruise in seconds.
There's no reason why Shayla had wet foundation already on the sponge, and it seems unrealistic that the bruise would be covered so quickly and easily.

The series' soundtrack includes Swfit's "Lover,""False God," "The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version)," and "This Love (Taylor's Version)."
"This Love (Taylor's Version)" was not officially released until after appearing in the trailer for the show.

When Laurel originally introduces Conrad to Cleveland, she mentions that Conrad won last year's regatta, an event that's a series of boat races.
When Belly is in Conrad's room later on, there's a sailing award and framed pieces of rope demonstrating some of the knots Conrad has been teaching Cleveland.

In the Fisher beach-house kitchen, there's a corkboard with a picture of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
In that same section, there's a wooden fish and a letter-board sign telling people to clean up after themselves.
Amazon Prime
When Belly texts Conrad the morning after they almost kissed, her phone shows barely any recent messages between the two.
While she's typing, viewers can also see her recently used Memojis and emoji list, which includes multiple unicorns and crying faces.
Amazon Prime
Though Susannah spends this summer painting the kids, there are already multiple finished paintings that seem to be made by her around the house.
There are two Susannah-style paintings in Belly's room, and one in the breakfast nook near the kitchen as well.
Amazon Prime
When Belly first confronts Conrad about drinking at the start of the summer, he says he always remembers what happens when he drinks.
After their almost kiss, Conrad at first tries to tell Belly that he doesn't remember it because he was drunk, but she already knows that wouldn't be true.
Amazon Prime
There's a Pink Ladies team that's referencing "Grease" and The Capulets, which is referencing Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet.""
Team Swiftie is on the board as well, which is the name for Taylor Swift fans and a likely reference to the use of Swift's music throughout the show.
Team Turducken is also on the board and it's a nod to the books. Jeremiah's first kiss was with Christi Turnduck whose nickname was "Turducken."
Amazon Prime
Taylor makes a "Team Jelly" instagram account to post pictures of Jeremiah and Belly together.
The pictures are all from the volleyball match, and Taylor seems to have posted them during the game.
Despite having presumably made the account and posted within the past few hours, there are somehow already likes on the photos.
Amazon Prime
Belly has two Judy Blume books on the nightstand next to her bed.
They are both "Sheila the Great" books, and Belly's debutante-ball invitation can be seen under the pile.
Amazon Prime
On the finale, the author of the books that inspired the show appears to grab a class of bubbly off of the tour at the deb ball.
Han typically makes cameos in her adaptations and can be seen in all of the "To All the Boys" movies, which were also inspired by her books.
