Why Is Belly Hated So Much?
The book’s main character, Belly, is not very likable and exhibits a number of harmful behaviors. Belly is a bit of a problematic main character because she is going through typical adolescent heartache and confusion. She actually ends up creating quite a mess between the main leads.
She ends up falling for three guys—Cam, Jeremiah and Conrad—at the same time. And is most of the time confused about her feelings and who she likes more. She also occasionally exhibits irritable, unpleasant, and selfish behavior.
Belly’s constant attempts to make things complicated between the two brothers have upset fans. And becoming the reason for them often being bitter with one another. Her not being able to choose any one of them, rather playing with both their hearts makes her more unlikable.
The characters of the show even made a playful video where Belly, played by Lola Tung, is lip-syncing the words “I’m the problem, it’s me” by Taylor Swift, which they posted across their social media.
