Imagine the shock of having a collection of old letters addressed to your old crushes being delivered — to your old crushes. Awful, right? Personally, I had fallen out of loving the rom-com genre. That is until I watched this movie. “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” will leave you laughing, gasping and crying. This is the perfect feel-good movie to distract you from your life and focus on Lara Jean’s extremely dramatic life.

Sometimes we need a movie that will help us fall in love with ourselves, not so much someone else. “Sierra Burgess Is A Loser” does just that. This movie highlights the importance of self-acceptance and the chaos that occurs when you try to pretend to be someone else just for a boy. As if you needed another reason to watch, heartthrob Noah Centineo stars in the film. After being in both this movie and “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before,” Noah has quickly become Netflix’s golden boy.
