Spotted: A certain hopeless romantic with a penchant for writing love letters—only to have them sent out accidentally. That’s right, Upper East Siders, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before isn’t just another YA adaptation; it’s a full-fledged rom-com fantasy wrapped in pastel aesthetics and fake dating drama. Let’s break it down, shall we?

The Tea on Lara Jean & Peter K.

Lara Jean Covey (played by the effortlessly charming Lana Condor) is your classic introverted dreamer, quietly penning love letters to her crushes—because why risk real-life embarrassment when you can keep your confessions locked away? But plot twist: those secret letters get mailed out, setting off a chain reaction that lands her in a fake relationship with none other than Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo), the school’s golden boy with an easy smirk and a reputation to match.

But here’s the real question: Is it all just pretend, or is there something real brewing underneath? We all know the answer—after all, who could resist Peter K.’s charm?

Why We’re Obsessed

1. Lana + Noah = Magic

The chemistry between Condor and Centineo is chef’s kiss. Their flirty banter? Their stolen glances? We live for it. Peter may be the resident jock, but he’s got a soft side that makes him utterly swoon-worthy. Meanwhile, Lara Jean is every bookish girl’s dream protagonist—relatable, quirky, and completely endearing.

2. Aesthetics on Point

From Lara Jean’s dreamy bedroom (seriously, that décor is Pinterest gold) to the soft, warm cinematography, every frame of this movie is curated to be as visually pleasing as possible. This isn’t just a rom-com; it’s an aesthetic experience.

3. Fake Dating Done Right

If you’re a sucker for the fake relationship trope (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), this movie delivers. Watching Lara Jean and Peter pretend to be a couple while actually falling for each other? Iconic.

The Not-So-Scandalous Flaws

1. Side Characters, Who?

As much as we adore Lara Jean and Peter, some of the supporting characters don’t get their moment to shine. A little more screen time for her sisters (especially Margot) and bestie Chris would’ve made things even better.

2. Predictability Alert

Sure, we saw that ending coming from a mile away, but let’s be real—no one watches a rom-com for plot twists. We’re here for the feels, and this movie delivers them in spades.

Final Verdict?

This one’s a certified heart-stealer, darling. Sweet, funny, and just the right amount of cheesy, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the kind of movie that makes you want to write your own secret love letters—just maybe double-check that they don’t get sent.

You know you love it.

XOXO,
