Some say that the ‘it factor’ is something that you either have or you don’t, that ‘coolness’ is something that’s just innate within some people, and something the rest of us can never truly hope to capture.

It’s actually more interesting than you might expect, and can be relatable to our own everyday lives in surprising ways.

• The Summer I Turned Pretty: Belly's Real Problem, Explained

  Go to http://uncommongoods.com/thetake for 15% off! The Summer I Turned Pretty has become one of the biggest teen dramas of our current era, and one of the most contentious aspects of the show has actually ended up being the girl at the center of it all: Belly Conklin. She is quite the polarizing figure; while many find her to be relatable, others have had a very hard time connecting with her at all (and some have even come to see her as the villain of the show.)

She’s cringe, messy, indecisive, a little (okay, maybe a lot…) selfish – but not necessarily unrealistic. So let’s take a closer look at Belly and her story to uncover why her flaws are integral to her growth journey (even if they make us want to yell at the TV sometimes…) Learn more about your ad choices.
