The Half of It is coming to Netflix tonight

Are you ready for a YA rom-com with a progressive twist? That’s exactly what you get with The Half of It, and it’s coming to Netflix tonight.

All rom-coms are the same, right? Boy meets Girl and falls for Girl. Or Boy gets Girl to help him woo someone else and Girl falls for Boy. That’s the way it seems, but The Half of It is about to flip the tropes on their head. You’ll be able to watch it tonight on Netflix.

The Half of It will be on Netflix from 3:01 a.m. ET. You can check it out at 12:01 a.m. PT and at 8 a.m. in the UK. It’s a global original movie, so every single Netflix user will get to watch this progressive and inclusive YA rom-com.

Starring Leah Lewis (Nancy Drew) as Ellie Chu, The Half of It focuses on a love story for today’s time. It’s a movie that we have all been waiting for.

Ellie is a straight-A student, who uses her smarts to run her own business. She does homework for her classmates. No, she’s not bullied into it. She decides to charge for it. And as much as I’m not on the side of academic writers, I do love her business sense. She has a service that her classmates need.

When a boy asks her to write love letters to a girl that he’s interested in, the story really gets started. You’ll be forgiven for thinking that Ellie falls for this boy. Instead, she falls in love with the girl that the boy is trying to woo.

At the same time, she becomes friends with the jock she’s writing for. It makes for a messy situation that can only end in heartbreak. Whose heart is going to end up broken?

If you love To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, this is a Netflix movie that you need to check out. No exaggeration.

You can find out tonight. The Half of It will be on Netflix soon.
