To All the Boys I Loved Before: Always and Forever; Netflix
Based on: Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han

Everyone’s favorite high school rom com pair came back on screen for the last time this year, and perhaps angstier than ever. The question propelling the premise of the movie: what would happen if Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky went to different universities? And what if they were on the opposite sides of the country (Peter at Stanford and Lara at NYU)? And what if Lara did really, actually want that—could they make it work? Though not quite as good as the first movie, Always & Forever is still sweet and heart-warming—as it moves through the magic and the perils of young love, as it shifts from a perfectly curated pastel set of Portland to a perfectly curated pastel set of New York, and as it ultimately gives us a solid happy ending. And let’s be honest, don’t we all need that sometimes?  –Snigdha Koirala, Editorial Fellow
