1. About Time

What happens when he succeeds and meets her? Watch About Time on Netflix, hoping you enjoy this Sci-fi Rom-Com Masterpiece.
Also, this film teased me with a lesbian Margot Robbie for about 0.4 secs and then cruelly ripped her away from me.
2. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
Creating a fake relationship contract and then falling in love with each other, yeah, I just gave you the synopsis for the movie. Kavinsky has the vibe of a young Mark Ruffalo and Lara is a terrible driver, cannot believe that the male and female leads have been reduced to Sixteen candles and Fight Club.
A cute and wholesome ROM COM, but my advice is to fellow women out there is that if a guy likes Fight Club, run the other direction.
3. The Kissing Booth
Elle Even, the most unpopular girl in school plans to put up a kissing booth in order to kiss her crush. Later finding out that her crush is her best friend’s brother!!

You will love this flirty rom-com, also a drunk Zoey Deutch protecting her pizza with her life is the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen.
12. To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You
A Netflix new age rom-com, which happens to have Noah as the male lead? Nothing new here. So Lara and Peter are official in this sequel, but a guy who has receives one of her love letters enters the picture here.
