COVID-19 affected all aspects of life, but most notably in my life was the closing of movie theaters and delayed release dates for both TV shows and movies. Some movies even went directly to streaming services (though I'm not too upset about that, because . . .

I've been dying to watch this movie ever since it came out on Netflix. But you know me... Can't watch the movie till I read the book. I usually prefer reading series as opposed to listening to them on Audiobook, but I knew it'd be ages until I ever decided to buy the To All the Boys series. So I just went ahead and listened to the . . .
