Movie Recap: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. A Fantastic Journey Into the Heart and Mind of a Teenage Girl. - Your Entertainment Corner
After watching To All the Boys, I wondered whether screenwriter Sofia Alvarez had somehow read my teenage diary. While I’m no longer a teenager (far, far from it), I resonated with the lead character, Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor). She reads way too many romantic novels (so did I) and fantasizes about being in relationships with boys. The entire tale is beautiful, starting with the Covey family. Three sisters – Margot (Janel Parrish), Lara Jean, and Kitty (Anna Cathcart) – are being raised by their widowed father, Dr. Covey (John Corbett). Being Asian-American, I felt To All the Boys does an excellent job of representing what it is like growing up in a predominately Caucasian area. And as a ‘hapa’(which is how some people of Asian descent pronounce the word ‘half’) myself (half Asian/Caucasian), I truly felt a connection with the three Covey girls.
