Hello, Dames Nationals! We hope you’re ready to (1) encounter the world’s most Instagrammable nursing home and (2) answer the all-important question: #TeamPeter or #TeamJohn? Discussion will kick off at 7:30 PM Eastern both here, amongst ourselves, and on Twitter using the hashtag #ToAllTheBoys2. We’re so excited to watch with you!
I do not mean to brag BUT. I think all the Lara Jean-ish skirts I listed in the Friday round-up are actually better than this partially pleated one that Lara Jean is really wearing in this sequence.
My dad is a widower and my mom is his second wife. I don't often see similar situations dealt with gracefully, so I so appreciate the Fakesgiving scene.
The thing is I really think this is Peter trying to be thoughtful; he wasn’t getting those singing valentines to Genevieve because that’s what he does as a boyfriend, but because that’s what Gen as a girlfriend would want. Lara Jean has a different attitude to public attention. Their reality is private!
The thing about #TeamPeter v #TeamJohn is that, unlike most other love triangles in popular discourse, there’s not really a wrong choice. Either one will be a kind and thoughtful but imperfect boyfriend to Lara Jean if invited to do so. They’re also both dreamy as hell.
I am appreciating that on Twitter there are very clearly two style-coveting factions emerging: Stormy's green outfit* people and Lara Jean's mustard yellow sweater vest** people.
*divine, does excellent things for her eyes, I could not pull off
**would buy and/or knit in several colours, given the opportunity
He’s trying SO HARD to handle this right and there’s just... no answer that would make her happy, because the problem is in her anxiety and no one else can solve that.
Man Valentine’s Day in high school was so weird and intense. I hated it. A boy once sent me poetry written out on the cards of the carnations he’d bought me asking me to prom. Anonymously. I almost died of anxiety. (I went to prom, it was fine, I wouldn’t do it over.)

Got my popcorn, got my Spindrift, just hit play!
My favorite scene in the movie, happening now!
Hiiiii friendos!

“I was obsessed with him in like the fifth grade. Well, him and Michael B Jordan in Creed” wow teens are... much younger than me, somehow
SHOW HAVEN A PICTURE OF HIM.
HE SHOWED UP FOR HER. HE LISTENED AND REMEMBERED AND CARED AND HE CAME TO DRIVE HER HOME. IM SOLD.
I love that Gen is here in this slouchy sweatshirt, messy bun combo to show that she’s also vulnerable.
I know Stormy is brassy and messy but there is some real wisdom to “hearts being broken is part of life”
#pensivebake HE HANGS ON EVERY WORD SHE SAYS
Seriously, if someone wrote me a letter that said "I like reading with you. You're pretty" NOW, it would work for me.
i love how Lara Jean's OB/GYN dad is way more permissive than the OB/GYN dad in 10 Things I Hate About You. Progress!!
That dress is a confection.
Stormy got the message about the movie’s color scheme.
Imagine breaking up with someone with their NAME on your FACE
If an alien had to find out what teen girls like from Reading YA lit, that alien would become a concert pianisy

“I need a break from the contortions of being someone’s girlfriend” is some real Adult Wife energy; as an anxious girl I really ID with Lara Jean
Stormy and her plotline are about the only thing I remember clearly from the book; hello, friend! Excellent dress!
This movie’s color palette is so turquoise and I enjoy it
A small part of me wishes that LJ got to do the big romantic gesture this time.
Trina is A DELIGHT.
I’m such a Kitty. “SHE CUT DOWN HER HEDGES. THAT IS A METAPHOR.”
I'm an old lady who can remember watching John Corbett on Northern Exposure.
Took the last bit of ice cream from my husband citing "I'm an athlete"
Kitty knows what Peter prefers.
He’s trying SO HARD to handle this right and there’s just... no answer that would make her happy, because the problem is in her anxiety and no one else can solve that.
Lara Jean stoke that “people will line up for you” from the lesbians in Grey’s Anatomy season five, I will NOT be fooled
I’m glad she finds out in private from stormy about the poem
Chris sent Trevor a Backstreet Boys song? Or should we assume it was another girl?
As evidenced by my decade-long love of the movie Waitress, I love a good baking montage.
JAM has had a real glow-up
I would love to hire the production design team from this movie for my house.
The yellow accessories tie them together and I’m interested to see how that changes as the Plot happens.
Man I forgot how good LJ’s room is
First film immediately started. And now we're at the part where Margot crawls into LJ's bed with her shoes on so I'm stopping.
I love all of this, but am reminded that teen volunteers are the worst!
There’s so much pink and red in the shot when JAM is there. As opposed to cool blues and greens when LJ is on her own and has her thoughts collected.
Man Valentine’s Day in high school was so weird and intense. I hated it. A boy once sent me poetry written out on the cards of the carnations he’d bought me asking me to prom. Anonymously. I almost died of anxiety. (I went to prom, it was fine, I wouldn’t do it over.)
Please write your letter on scrap paper, you are ruining your beautiful stationary!
Her lipstick looks incredible, considering.
This imaginary Peter is jealous and possessive in a way real Peter is not
As a former MUN debater who married my Asian high school sweetheart, I'm #TeamJohn. My wife is #TeamPeter.
I adore Chris. Her eye makeup doesn't work.
OMG that yellow dress. OMG his beautiful smile
That. Was. Wonderful. But too short!
I clearly need to reread the book because I have NO MEMORY of how it ended? But I thought they got snowed in? Brains are weird.
