Ahead of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, we got the chance to talk to two of the stars from the show: Jackie Chung (who plays Belly and Steven's mom Laurel) and Rachel Blanchard (who stars as Susannah). Susannah and Laurel are two best friends whose relationship has endured both good times and bad times, and we talked to the actresses about why their characters are platonic soulmates.
