Taylor on the show continues to be more supportive than in the books. She encourages Belly to go out and have fun, helps her get ready for a summer party and builds up her confidence to find herself. She also comes to her defense when Steven gives Belly a hard time for making things awkward between him and the Fisher boys. When Belly sneaks off to find Conrad, Taylor covers for her and eventually drives to Cousins with Steven to be there for Belly even though she didn't have a good time last summer.
Taylor's literary counterpart is a lot more snarky and judgmental. While season two starts with Belly having a dream about Conrad and waking up in class after her copy of "The Hunger Games" falls from her desk, book two finds her being woken up by Taylor at a pool party where she's annoyed that Belly is distracted. Taylor tries to play matchmaker a lot and pushes her to get over Conrad, and when she learns that Belly's going to find him, she encourages Belly to get closure.
