Day #28 - The Kissing Booth 2

Noah is off at Harvard starting is new life as a college student, but Elle is determined not to dwell on that - her and Noah are meant to be, right? Everything is about to get a lot more complicated, though. New student Marco, Rachel not liking Elle tagging along on her dates with Lee, questions about college, and Noah's new friend Chloe, all start to put a strain on Elle and her relationships with the Flynn boys.

I feel so sorry for Elle in this movie, life came at this girl HARD. A long distance relationship with potential cheating, choosing between going to college with her best friend or her boyfriend, and having a tiny crush on new boy Marco? That's a lot for someone to handle during their final year at school. I fully don't understand how she kept it as together as she did. When she breaks down at Thanksgiving, I was not surprised in the slightest.

But honestly the person I feel sorry for most in this movie is Rachel, Lee's girlfriend. Their relationship takes a more central role in this film compared to the first one. I feel like the film tries to make her look like the bad guy in the situation, but I can totally see where she's coming from. She obviously supports and understands Lee and Elle's extremely close friendship, but of course it puts a strain on her relationship with Lee. And then Lee lies about asking Elle to give them space, which creates a whole unnecessary argument between the girls. And he constantly forgets about her. I don't know why she kept that relationship going.

However, the real question at the end of this film is are you team Noah or team Marco? Personally, I'm team Marco. He's basically Noah but better.  Noah was worse in this movie. He kept lying about Chloe, and then got all annoyed that Elle assumed they were sleeping together; if I was Elle, I would have come to the exact same conclusion.

I have so many thoughts about this film, but I will end it here. Besides, The Kissing Booth 3 is supposed to come out this year! If Netflix can do anything, it's a good romcom trilogy.

And with that, the month ends and the challenge is over! I hope you enjoyed reading along, and hopefully you found a new favourite movie.
