I've seen some super mixed reviews on this and that kinda bums me out. I loved this movie and I've been thinking about it all day. Leah Lewis does a great job playing Ellie and I really liked her character. I do feel like this shouldn't really be labeled as romance, it's much more about friendship and acceptance.

Tuned in because it was baited by the lesbian storyline. But then stayed for the nice friendship story. It's so cute and sweet.

I found the movie looking for a rom com, but find much more. The writing, the thoughts, the hardship and improvement of the main characters. It's bold alright, that's true.
