I. Love. This. Movie. I'm just going to say that up front. This adaptation of Jenny Han's book is GLORIOUS. I mean, Peter K, y'all.
Let's get real, though, on why I love this movie.
I've easily watched this movie at least a dozen times. I can almost quote the whole thing. Netflix hit a home run with this film. (Just like they have with all of the movies they've adapted from Young Adult Literature the last little bit.) The first time I watched it was before I'd read the book, and I was instantly hooked.
This movie focuses on Lara Jean Song Covey and the letters she has written to all the boys she'd had crushes on that were so deep and big that she could only move on by writing the letters. Those letters get out. THEY GET MAILED TO THE BOYS. Yep, you read that right. It's INSANITY. Lara Jean then begins the adventure of damage control while her older sister Margo had just moved to Scotland for college and her younger sister is only in the sixth grade. Lara Jean is trying to figure out what she is doing with surviving without Margo when this happens. This leads to her beginning a fake relationship with Peter Kavinsky -- aka Peter K. The crazy ensues throughout the rest of the movie of what happens.
Why do I love this movie so much? (Besides Noah Centineo portraying Peter? There's other things? ) I love this movie because I relate to Lara Jean so much. I relate to her in how that she likes to live in a fantasy land in her head of what could happen instead of taking the chance to see it in the real world. Lara Jean is literally me (but she has a much better fashion sense than I do, by far).
Overall, I really, really, really, recommend this to any of my fellow peoples who like to live in your head at times instead of taking those chances. I recommend the book, too. I recommend the whole series, to be honest.
Stay tuned for the sequel to this movie: P.S. I Still Love You that should be on Netflix either later this year or early next year. It's going to be just as lovely.
