“To All the Boys: Always and Forever” was released on February 12, 2021. This light-hearted rom-com is the final movie in a three-part series based on the books by Jenny Han. The first movie, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”, introduced the main character, Lara Jean Covey.  Lara Jean is a hopeless romantic who writes a heartfelt, gushy love letter every time she has a crush on a boy. By sixteen, she had written five different letters to five boys. Lara Jean kept her letters stashed away in a blue hatbox in her closet. After a series of events that began when her younger sister, Kitty, sent out the letters to the five boys, Lara Jean ends up dating one of them: Peter Kavinsky. “To All the Boys: Always and Forever” follows Lara Jean and Peter’s relationship as they near the end of their high-school careers and begin considering their lives after. Peter and Lara Jean want to attend the same elite university so that they can stay close to each other. Peter plans to play Lacrosse and Lara Jean fantasizes about studying English Literature. Peter gets his acceptance much earlier than Lara Jean, and she is left with the agonizing wait to find out whether she will join her high school sweetheart in the next chapter of their lives. The result is not what either of them hoped it would be. The movie explores flurries of bittersweet goodbyes as the couple struggles to keep up with their changing reality and to move on from relationships they knew so well. They grapple between choosing each other or pursuing their academic dreams while struggling with complicated family relationships. “Always and Forever” is a beautiful reminder that life is filled with inconveniences and the wisest decisions do not necessarily come with the fewest problems.
