One of my favorite first childhood romance books. I loved how it wasn't just loved stories it discussed family dynamics, trauma, friendships, and had characters with personality and depth. Also, I hope they reference Sarah Dessen’s easter eggs where she puts her main characters from other books in her main novel at the time.

[@SavvyMuhon]

I would be too. They tried to combine her books “That Summer” and “Someone Like You” into a movie called “How to Deal” back in 2002 and it was sooooo bad and disappointing. I hope this one is better! I’ll be back in this comment section on Friday so we can all talk about our verdicts lol. I’ve been in love with her books since I was 11 in 2004 when I read “Dreamland,” I NEED HER BOOKS DONE JUSTICE

[@susivarga7303]

Too long and the kiss was lame. But it wasn't bad. Just... not hot enough.

[@SavvyMuhon]

Welp I watched it, back to review it. I’m gonna start with my criticisms first. It’s a sweet love story, however some of the characters were super cheesy. Kate Bosworth kinda overdid the “new step mom trying to be cool” trope. Like I expected her to be that role, but I feel like it was overdone. Some of the dialogue was cheesy, and some of the writing didn’t make sense and was unnecessary. Like everyone cheering at the first kiss? Teenagers saying the acronym “OMG” out loud? Like do some of these writers even know how teenagers act? I’m 29 and I know teenagers don’t do that lol. Criticism time over. I still loved it. The cinematography and the soundtrack/score are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I loved the shots they took, like the scene with the lights hitting Auden in the lighthouse? Gorgeous. The actor who played Eli deserves more roles in movies, he is actually a very talented actor and made the cheesy settings still feel very natural and casual. The love story is actually incredibly sweet and there were times in the movie that made me genuinely laugh out loud. The way they interpreted Auden’s character development was lovely, and the actress who played her did an incredible job of playing the awkward girl blossoming, I also hope to see her in more roles in the future. All in all, this movie made me smile and feel all the warm feelings I get whenever I read Sarah Dessen. I will 10/10 watch again and I look forward to seeing the other adaptations
