![]() What can I even say about Peter Kavinsky and why Peter Kavinsky is worthy of one million tweets about how delicious Peter Kavinsky is? And why he must always be referred to as Peter Kavinsky - never Peter, Pete, Petey, P-Dawg, P-Pants, Peetey Pablo, Kavinsky, Kavy, or anything other than Peter Kavinsky - because great crushes must always be referred to by their first and last names? (He’s 22.) Still: It ain’t right how this platonic ideal of a teen heartthrob has me, a 32-year-old, wondering if it would actually be better to be 16. While both crushes are perfectly engineered to make teens of all ages swoon, it’s Peter Kavinsky who has grown women actually running to IMDb to make sure the actor, Noah Centineo, is an appropriate age. (Am I being hyperbolic? I just spent a whole weekend obsessing over a 16-year-old’s love life, so probably!) Be still my 13-year-old heart, for this is a (one) dream of representation. In the other, Peter Kavinsky, the lax bro with the broad shoulders and the heart of gold. And at the center, Lara Jean Covey (the charming Lana Condor), a Korean-American young woman who has these two dreamy white boys staring each other down in her driveway, ready to throw fisticuffs. in She’s All That battling it out for her affections. In one corner, Josh, the sensitive, vaguely hipster boy next door. ![]() For she has accomplished a task that was previously only reserved for the whitest of rom-com heroines: She has two - not one, but two - of the most perfect crushes since Freddie Prinze Jr. Let’s just take a minute to applaud Lara Jean Covey, the protagonist of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, the best, sweetest teen rom-com in the past decade.
