Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021)

There's a lot of change in the air this time around: Kitty's got a boyfriend, Dad's getting married again, and Lara Jean is a high-school senior. Since Peter's secured a scholarship to Stanford, they're banking on LJ getting in there too but best-laid plans often go awry -- both for reasons out of one's control and due to factors not previously considered.

This is the best of the trio, in my opinion. LJ and Peter are still teens so it's difficult for them to see beyond the "now," but I really appreciate the acknowledgement that things might end. Lara Jean and Peter both make decisions that are best for them and that's about the healthiest thing a romantic teen can see.
