Romance is not a category of fiction that I seek out regularly. But give me a good romance on the small screen like Netflix has done with Jenny Han’s book series and I’m sold.

I watched the first one and was exceptionally impressed with the visual beauty of the movie, not to mention the story, casting, and music (of which I have no great knowledge or understanding of). My critiques of movies are simply my enjoyment factor, so I’m sharing, as a reader of young adult literature this advice: watch the movies.

The second one launched near Valentine’s Day just a few days ago and I was excited to clear my queue during my morning workouts for it. And again, it did not disappoint. Similarly stunning visuals took my breath away and the music enhanced every scene that it played. Plus, I’ve already squeezed in a second watch because it was just so damn adorable. And there were jellyfish (even if it was a heartbreaking scene).

So here they are, the reasons that you should be watching:

1. The color scheme is stunning.
2. The pop culture influences are not overwhelming but reminiscent of the great 80’s-style teen movies of that decade from the texting to the house parties to how it represented school life.
3. We need more love in the world.
4. Lara Jean’s wardrobe and her baking skills.
5. Love wins, every time.

What are you waiting for?
