The Summer I Turned Pretty takes on the messiest kind of love triangle
Dr. Orna Guralnik, psychoanalyst and host of Showtime documentary series, has a Freudian explanation for all of this. “Triangles generally hearken back to the original triangle in childhood—which is the triangle in which desire and rivalry get worked out by way of internalizing social norms—and that’s the Oedipal triangle,” she says. “In heteronormative families, the Oedipal triangle is mother, father, and children.
In her early 20s, Emily was stuck in a love triangle with brothers Kevin and James. She eventually decided to pursue a relationship with James, only to realize her underlying feelings were really for Kevin the entire time. “It was like a saga of an on-and-off thing with him because I just didn't like him as much as Kevin. James was everything Ihave liked: the total package,” she explains.
And as soon as I asked myself that question, the answer was very obvious to me,” says Fortune. “It’s very much foreshadowed in the book, but I think it can catch readers by surprise. It felt really real to me. Percy is really insecure in her relationships with her friends and with her boyfriend; and with Sam, they have this history of him pulling away and coming closer and pulling back again, and she wants to feel seen when he abruptly starts cutting her out of his life.
Sex and relationship therapist and researcher Laura Vowels makes another important point. “If we think about the research into attraction, we’re generally attracted to people that are good-looking, have a high status, have good humor, are nice and respectful,” she says. “Imagine two siblings from the same family—they probably have very similar upbringings, they’re going to look somewhat similar, they might have similar ways of talking, and similar humor because they grew up together.
