Juno is an independent-minded teenager confronting her unplanned pregnancy and the subsequent events that put pressures of adult life onto her…

Yes, it’s an unconventional one.

But is there anything cuter than dorky, teenage romance?

Love, Rosie

Based on Cecelia Ahern’s Where Rainbows End, this is one of those slow burning friend-to-lovers romances that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Plus, Lily Collins and Sam Claflin? Dreamy.

Noah, a poor man, falls in love with Allie who comes from wealth. They are forced to keep passion for each other aside due to societal pressure and a difference in the social stature of their families.

Get the tissues at the ready!

Crazy Stupid Love
