Tech Vest Dad Drowns Beach Romance in $20K Resentment
In a series where teenage love triangles ferment like unpaid tuition bills, 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' serves up more drama than a Boston VC firm's board meeting. Lola Tung's Belly dates brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher from squabbling families richer in salt-and-pepper hair and puffy tech vests than affection. Dad Adam Fisher, who owns a fictional Boston VC, is the real villain, throwing shade with $20,000 tuition tantrums and favoring med-student Conrad while branding Jeremiah 'super senior.' Weddings planned by VC dads scream country clubs, not beach houses, turning romance into a shareholder meeting with backhanded toasts. Everyone's awful, but the tech vest boss is Oscar-worthy villainy.

Turns out, the real villain isn’t the girl dating brothers but their dad, who budgets $20K like it’s weaponized love and uses a tech vest as armor while turning sibling rivalry into a full-scale VC-backed war. Welcome to family dysfunction, Amazon style.
Jeremiah needs a $20K bailout from Dad but only gets a country club wedding with investors as guests. Nothing says love like shareholder engagement and power ties tighter than a love triangle.
Belly’s just a 16-to-21-year-old navigating feelings while Dad turns his VC firm into the official villainous parent company of sibling drama. Spoiler: He funds heartbreak better than he funds tuition.
