If you were scrolling on Twitter this weekend, chances are your TL was bursting with emotional tweets about To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

Netflix dropped the charming new rom-com, based on the best-selling novel by Jenny Han, on 17 August.

Since then, Twitter has been awash with outpourings of love for what fans are hailing "the best rom-com of this generation".

Some were taken aback by the movie's emotional effect on them.

A lot of people were in tears both during and after watching.

One fan hailed it "the best rom-com movie of this generation and that's THAT." Agreed.

The verdict was unanimous after watching: everyone wants to be in love after watching this film.

And, some want Peter Kavinsky specifically to be the object of their affection.

I think it's safe to say we all have a new favourite film.
