To All The Boys I Loved Before is both one of the best teen romantic comedies to come out in years, and has rightly gotten a tonne of praise for turning us all into balls of mush. Not to mention the praise for introducing us to Peter Kavinsky, the boyfriend we all wished we had.
Unfortunately, our lives are not a teen rom-com you can stream on Netflix whenever you need a pick-me-up. Just like how the real actor who played Josh Sandserson turned out to be The Worst, most experiences with men kind of suck.
It’s at this crossroads that Twitter took the wheel, rewriting the title of To All The Boys I Loved Before to reflect the sad reality of Dating Men™.
