Day #10 - To All The Boys I've Loved Before

This is another film I reviewed briefly a couple of years ago - read it here.

When Lara Jean has a crush, she writes a love letter. One of those letters happens to be to her older sister's boyfriend, Josh. When the letters are mysteriously mailed out, she enters into a fake relationship with one of them - popular boy Peter Kavinsky - to throw Josh off the scent. With her sister now at university in Scotland, how will Lara Jean navigate the complicated web of lies that she has created for herself?

​I have been looking forward to this one! This is the first instalment of a trilogy, based on the books of the same name, and the next three days will be covering them.

I LOVE this movie. I've watched it hundreds of times since it came out in 2018. It has everything I want from a teen romance film - it's funny, it's relatable, it's sad and it has a wonderfully uplifting ending. And they are very accurate to the books, which I also loved.

There are two very important themes to this story - the difficulties and awkwardness of teen romance and the bond between sisters, two topics that I can relate to. Like Lara Jean, I never had much luck with love in my teen years, but I always had an unbreakable bond with my sister. Also, Lara Jean is one of the most likeable characters in the history of books and film.

TATBILB also has my favourite storyline - fake relationship leading to real feelings. I don't know why I like it so much, it's probably the most predictable movie trope out there, but any movie that has this trope has me hooked from beginning to end.

If you are looking for something cute, fluffy and happy, I would highly recommend giving this film a go! I can't wait for you to fall in love with Lara Jean.
