this movie is amazing. the cast works so well together and it actually feels real. the other netflix romcoms could never. paul is so cute. he's a great friend and his relationship with ellie was so fun to watch as it developed. the scene with paul and ellie's dad where the dad's speaking chinese to him was wonderful too. i don't know why it hit me but it did. the scene where they're in the water was beautiful. this movie is gonna get quoted for years to come, i'm calling it even though i did ship astra and ellie, the ending was satisfying and actually really cute. thanks netflix for giving us a cute lesbian (kinda) movie. please continue to make movies like these instead of movies like the kissing booth. sorry not sorry

At the end of it all, this is a really sweet film. It became more than a rom com and showed us all the forms of love. And that's damn beautiful.

I've seen some super mixed reviews on this and that kinda bums me out. I loved this movie and I've been thinking about it all day. Leah Lewis does a great job playing Ellie and I really liked her character. I do feel like this shouldn't really be labeled as romance, it's much more about friendship and acceptance.

Tuned in because it was baited by the lesbian storyline. But then stayed for the nice friendship story. It's so cute and sweet.
