If teen rom-coms happen to be one of your favorite movie genres, you won’t be canceling your Netflix subscription anytime soon. This streaming service has several coming-of-age romance movies in store this summer, and here are three that got everyone talking.

The Kissing Booth 3

The Kissing Booth was never Netflix’s most critically acclaimed franchise, but teens were always happy to tune in and watch it. The final chapter of this story sees Elle Evans trying to make the most of her final summer before college and make a big decision about her future.

He’s All That

The gender-swapped remake of the classic rom-com She’s All That stars Addison Rae and Tanner Buchanan, and it centers on a teen influencer who accepts a challenge to transform one of the least popular boys at her school into a prom king after a humiliating breakup.

JJ+E

If you’re a huge fan of foreign movies, this Swedish rom-com could be your cup of tea. It’s based on Mats Wahl’s acclaimed novel and tells the love story of two teens that inhabit two totally different worlds, as they try to break class and cultural barriers.
