Part 1: What Happens In Summer Situationship Movie Book Version?
The Book’s Main Plots (and the Comparison with the Movie Version)
Like in the movie version, the book version of Summer Situationship has the Summer time as the primary time setting. So, “youthful” and “cheerful” are two main phrases to describe the book’s main plots.
Summer Situationship movie directly places the characters in a real-world setting. The movie version knows Jules Whitney and Noah Allen as the main characters.
The book version, however, brings up the online dating backgrounds as the characters’ extra backstories that tell how they met up at first. Here, Jules’ role is equivalent to Tia’s, while Noah’s is equivalent to Nate’s.
The book is more well-known as “The Situationship”, and this book tells stories about Tia, an English woman, whose online dating expectation falls below the average standard due to toxic men around her life.
Her life turns drastically the moment she meets Nate, the handsome photographer. Nate is always there for Tia, no matter what happens. He makes her feel safe, desired, and accepted.
Summer Situationship book poses two main problems for the characters: First, Nate never makes the first move. Second, it is because Nate, like the movie version of Noah, is already taken.
Yet, Tia’s stories should go on as she lives in this world! Tia’s job is the only thing that can save her. Could Nate be the key person to save her job?
The Book’s Theme
The first chapters of Summer Situationship book feature Tia and Nate’s dialogues and interactions in online dating settings. The settings are perfect for them: No romantic strings attached until both parties are ready.
Nate is already taken, after all. He doesn’t want to let his jealous girlfriend know. Hence, the online dating venue becomes the safe haven for him to get to know Tia and help her overcome her toxic environmental problems.
Summer is also a perfect time to recharge a person’s social battery, which is precisely why the season dominates the themes of Summer Situationship book. Readers can feel the friendly banter energies between Tia and Nate as they read more chapters of the book.
Reading the book version of Summer Situationship can also lead us to more playful hook-up scenes between Nate and Tia. Yet, Nate’s jealous girlfriend’s presence, along with toxic people from Tia’s past, can leave a tense impression on readers.
Part 2: Cast & Characters Of Summer Situationship
Summer Situationship movie has Jules Whitney as the main female character who struggles to fund her mother through her maid job at a summer house, where her ex-best friend, Mia, and her boyfriend(s), Noah Allen and Emmett, live.
Here are the actors and actresses for all the characters in the movie version of Summer Situationship:
Alexa Reddy as Jules Whitney (Book Version: Tia)
Jules Whitney, the main female character of Summer Situationship movie, might struggle with her ex-best friend, who hires her as the summer house’s maid for the sake of torturing her. She is also torn between fulfilling her dead father’s medical debts, her responsibility once the summer house re-hires her, and her romantic relationship with the already-taken Noah Allen.
The 2004-born actress Alexa Reddy plays Jules’ characteristics magnificently. It is safe to say her accents and dialogues blend perfectly with her costumes since the first few free episodes. Alexa might be a young actress, but it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any acting experience.
Alexa’s face has been featured in more than 60 movies since 2014. Most of the short dramas and movies feature her as the lead female character with forbidden romantic relationships with the males. Yet, that’s how she becomes an interesting actress!
Evan Adams as Noah Allen (Book Version: Nate)
Noah Allen of Summer Situationship movie might be Jules’ ex-situationship before she gets into the summer house trouble. He still harbors feelings for Jules despite his acts to hide his feelings and the fact that Jules’ ex-best friend has dated him. He starts to reconsider Jules’ summer housemaid job after he discovers Jules’ ex-best friend’s unfaithfulness.
Evan Adams is the person when we talk about the actor behind the successful Noah Allen’s roles in ReelShort’s Summer Situationship movie. With only five short movies and four upcoming movies in his acting portfolio, we can say that Evan is pretty much a newcomer.
Yet, his smile, heavily-toned body, and facial expressions set him apart from other actors. Acting as the main role in Noah’s Summer Situationship movie can be a stepping stone for his other roles in future movies!
Jessica Jacoby Mingalone as Mia
Summer Situationship movie, the ReelShort movie where we can see Mia, the cheating and opportunist ex-best friend of Jules, in action, is only a few days apart from the release date of another ReelShort movie titled “Sleeping With The President”.
Who would ever see Jessica Jacoby Mingalone, the protagonist actress in ReelShort’s Sleeping With The President drama, acting as the main villain in Summer Situationship drama? Yet, those things aren’t the only roles; Jessica has also been cast as a nurse, background performer, high school student, and CEO’s date.
Eight previous movies might mean Jessica is a newcomer. Yet, I love her villain acts in the Summer Situationship movie!
Carson Polish as Emmett
Emmett used to date Jules before our lead female character became the tortured maid in Mia’s summer house. Summer Situationship movie episodes hint at Emmett’s cheating with Mia. At that time, Mia also dated Noah, whom she affectionately refers to as “Noey”.
I feel “bully” is an appropriate word to describe Emmett’s characteristics in the Summer Situationship movie. Carson Polish, the actor behind Emmett’s roles, has successfully brought the characteristics through his experiences to roleplay as surfers, the “Demonic Toys”, beach boys, and the love interest.
One of the movies Carson stars in even resulted in his “Best Cast” nomination in 2024. It paves the way for his future movie career!
Part 3: Why Is Summer Situationship Book So Attractive?
Not every plot, character, backstory, and other elements of Summer Situationship book and movie versions align. So, the question is, why does it seem that audiences are all fired up for this book?
First of all, it’s a rom-com book. Summer is the main season; the online dating environment is one of the primary elements in the novel that accentuates the “com” a.k.a. “comedy” parts. Tia and Nate are in their early 20s. It’s safe to say they are young, productive, and ready to take over their world.
The friendly banters, pick-up lines, anecdotes, and others don’t only have vivid descriptions in the book version of Summer Situationship. They also highlight the main character’s sense of humor without having too many descriptions of how revealing their summer clothes are.
The book’s online dating story can also provide more context in how the main characters met up for the first time. In other words, I can easily picture Noah and Jules’ first situation starting from their laptops or desktops. It produces a wonderful heart-warming feeling for me as the audience.
Many readers have also agreed that the Summer Situationship book has relatable life themes, especially in terms of avoiding toxic people on dating websites. Reading each chapter can serve as life’s cheat code to get away from emotional predators for good. I can see many readers need this part, as those nasty people are everywhere.
No wonder Summer Situationship book’s popularity has risen and now, you can watch the movie version on ReelShort’s YouTube account! You can even embark on your one-of-a-kind “create your adventure” world in the APP’s interactive version.
