Wife turns husband into Conrad Fisher after watching "The Summer I Turned Pretty" -
One couple is bringing The Summer Turned Pretty to life through a viral TikTok series inspired by Conrad Fisher
Rae McWilliams, a super-fan of the novel-based series, has been posting content of her husband, Hunter, cosplaying as the older Fisher sibling, who has continued to capture fans' hearts in the third and final season of the show
The pair chat with PEOPLE about going viral and the "freaky" similarities between Hunter and Conrad (played by Chris Briney)
Before the US Open or the 2025 NFL season officially began, social media was already lighting up with a fiery team-versus-team debate that had nothing to do with sports at all — and that's all down to very specific fictitious love triangle created by author Jenny Han.
Since The Summer I Turned Pretty (based on the YA books written by Han) aired on Prime Video in 2022, the "Team Conrad" and "Team Jeremiah" discourse has only gotten stronger with the series finale right around the corner.

For context: Main character Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) is currently in Paris and viewers are waiting with bated breath to find out which of the Fisher brothers — Conrad (Chris Briney) or Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) — she'll choose as endgame after juggling her love for both pretty much all throughout her teenage and adult years.
However, for one viewer, who tunes into a new episode every Wednesday like clockwork, the subject was never up for debate. Since day one, she's "never wavered" from her loyalty to Conrad, which might be attributed to the fact that she's got her own Conrad at home.

Before she got invested in Han's universe, Rae's friends and family always said that her husband, Hunter, looks "just" like the broody older Fisher sibling. "So I finally gave in, hit play, and got hooked right away," she tells PEOPLE. "I binged the first two seasons and flew through the third book in like five hours."
It's what inspired the 30-year-old to create a viral TikTok series of literally transforming her man into someone who can only be described as 2025's biggest heartthrobs, dressing him up in Conrad-inspired outfits — think classic button-up shirts, white T-shirts — that have earned the character major brownie points in season 3.

Rae made her first video around the same time the episode "Last Supper" came out (if you aren't caught up yet, this is when Jeremiah — still engaged to Belly by the way — shows up to his late mom's memorial ceremony in a wrinkled button-up shirt while Conrad returns from San Francisco in a well-pressed suit of his choosing).
"I handed Hunter a shirt and jeans for the TikTok video, and he straight up refused to wear the shirt unless it was ironed. I begged him to just throw it on for the video, but nope, he would not wear a wrinkled shirt," says Rae, adding that's when she realized "it's the little things like that that make the similarities so crazy." Hunter is also a medical student, avid surfer and "put-together guy" — just like Conrad.
At first, Conrad couldn't be more of a stranger to Hunter, who had never even heard of the show before all the comparisons started rolling in. "Someone showed me a picture of the character and I kind of just rolled my eyes. Once my wife got into the show, I started seeing it more and more and it became apparent we actually did look pretty similar. Then... the similarities just got kinda freaky from there," Hunter tells PEOPLE.

Dressing up for Rae's social media content also took some warming up to. "I'm not a social media person at all so I kind of resisted, but she talked me into it just to see how far it would go and now it's just kind of fun to see people's funny comments and reactions," he says, adding that he thought the popularity of both the candid and staged videos was a "fluke." Now, "it's fun to see people's funny comments and reactions."
While his wife "religiously" rewatches the show, Hunter hasn't yet truly gotten invested in the drama, although, "I will admit the storyline is pretty juicy."
New episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty drop on Wednesdays at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET on Prime Video.
