The book was great but this did not translate well on the screen. They changed some key scenes in my opinion. Also found the soundtrack lacking.

if you read the book...you might not quite like the movie version. it's a good movie just not a good book adaptation.

I loved it. I don't normally watch romantic films but I wanted to support Nicola Yoon's second book turned to film. It was nice to see the guy so into the girl

It was an exquisite movie, critics would give it a people’s choice because it involves all emotion at the exact point and time

Yara Shahidi carries this movie. Charles Melton(her co star) needed to up his game to that of yara but fell short. Also, why have 2 actors play Jamaican but have bad accents ( just cast Jamaicans instead)

I did not read the book. But I could understand how the book would be better than the movie. Not a lot of movies based of books get it right. The story itself was very predictable but in all general what love story isn't? It is a good movie but I would not watch it again. …

It was good movie if you didn’t read the book! I read the book and I feel like they cut out small but key characters that made the story make sense? The soundtrack was good tho! Overall it’s a nice movie to go see.

I would definitely see it again! Yara Shahidi is such a great and beautiful actress and Charles Melton made you feel the love he was giving.

Why? This could have been SO much more! I was disappointed - even my teenager daughter and her friends were as well. And they usually live for the cliche over the top stuff.

I didn’t like the ending I hope there is a part two to finish it off!

While time is likely on the side of its leads, their chemistry only goes so far in what feels, finally, like a half-baked movie.

Brian Lowry

The story and its trappings feel a little generic, the dialogue studiously bland and the characters and their problems curiously weightless, in spite of gestures in the direction of real-world issues.

Director Russo-Young, whose roots are in independent film, has brought a bit of a welcome indie sensibility to the proceedings.
