How to Win a YA Rom-Com

A predictable cliche trope can be quite effective when executed properly. The clever script actually makes the two leads the "bad guys" while the exes are the nice and good-hearted ones. Although Nate could be mean at times, he was never a bully or as cruel. He had matured and grew as a person. The reasons he acted the way he did was because no one close to him believed in him. Ellie reminded me of a cross between Rory (Gilmore Girls) and Blair (Gossip Girl), a girl wanting to fit in but didn't feel that way. She has a hot dad but lost her hot mom. I really wanted to know more about the mom and how she... I found it interesting that we get to see Ellie and Nate's dads, and Streaker mentions his, but we never see their moms, except for a photo of Ellie's. Streaker is hilarious as a rich dufus who misses his dad. We all know how this story ends but I appreciated how Ellie's ex is still her friend. And it has wonderful morals like finding authenticity, personal growth, and genuine connection over superficial validation. Important lessons that some tend to overlook because they were paying more attention to all the unimportant things.
