Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
With college decisions looming, Elle juggles her long-distance romance with Noah, changing relationship with bestie Lee and feelings for a new classmate.
A by-the-numbers teen rom-com sequel that recycles the familiar love triangle and long-distance relationship tropes without adding anything distinctive. The plot stretches thin over its runtime with predictable beats and manufactured drama. Acting is serviceable but unremarkable, cinematography is bright and polished but wholly generic, and the ending resolves tensions in the most expected way possible. As a sequel to an already formulaic film, it earns the lowest Novelty score for offering nothing singular in conception or execution.
