First off, there are, surprisingly, a ton of great quotes in this film.
Secondly, I like just how characterized yet real each character is. Even the side characters: Bryce's dad is genuinely just a jerk because of some mysterious past that doesn't get explained or developed; it feels incomplete, but that's what makes it so real. Not everyone goes through a character arc. Bryce's friend is a bully, but you don't realize it until Bryce himself realizes it as well.
Thirdly, the pacing makes it so easy and light to watch. I just finished watching it, and I feel like I could watch it again immediately. The back and forth between their perspectives is done so well and intricately that it feels like something you've never seen before when it obviously isn't revolutionary, just perfectly executed. The narration between the two and their different reactions, thoughts, and emotions were delivered so naturally and enjoyably.
And lastly, I haven't even begun to talk about the actual main plot line, Bryce and Juli. Such a pure love story and a breath of fresh air from all the other formulaic, boring, cheesy, and unthought-provoking romances besides it.
There is so much genuine thought and care put into this film that love just comes out of the screen. It is undoubtedly one of the best feel-good movies there are.
It may not be the greatest film, but it's certainly one of the favorite movies I've watched and will continue to rewatch for a very long time.
