12 Times The Kissing Booth 2 Made Us Believe in Love

When Noah called the principal’s office just to talk to Elle

At the start of the film, Elle was shown dodging Noah’s messages, trying not to come off as a clingy girlfriend while he was away at college. Eventually, her plan backfired—but in the best way you could possibly imagine. We just about swooned when Elle picked up the phone at school expecting an emergency call from her dad, only to hear Noah’s voice on the other end! After telling Noah she was just trying to give him space, his response was even sweeter than we thought it would be. “Space is not what I want, I want you. I want you with me all the time. I want you with me right now, actually,” he said. *Sigh*

When Elle ran into Noah’s arms at the airport… And the entire romantic montage that followed

Is a good romcom ever complete without a montage of epic kilig levels? When Elle and Noah finally reunited, we practically breathed a sigh of relief—because despite the distance, the couple was still as in love as ever! The short but sweet montage, which showed the two traipsing around Boston, was definitely one of the highlights of the film. (It definitely had us wishing the couple would get back together in real life, too!)

When Noah updated his “ELLE & ME” Instagram highlight with super-cute couple photos

If you’ve already seen the film (which you probably have), then you’ll know that Elle’s visit to Boston didn’t end so desirably. Instead, she came home with a whole bunch of insecurities about Noah’s new life in college. Given this, Noah’s simple gesture was sweet enough to melt our hearts. And how could it not have been, really? It was just too cute to see the former player wear his heart on his sleeve — and for all his Insta followers to see, too! Plus: The highlight reel was actually filled with personal photos from back when Joey King and Jacob Elordi were a couple in real life. (Be still, our hearts.)

When Lee confessed his love to Rachel over the PA

Sparks didn’t only fly for Elle during this film; her bestie and his girlfriend Rachel had their fair share of adorable moments, too. After letting Rachel down, Lee pulled off a comical yet super sweet apology that had us grinning from ear to ear—classic Lee, if you ask us! And while not all public displays of affection are equal, Lee did a totally swoon-worthy job at earning Rachel’s forgiveness and declaring his love for her—even if it meant getting detention. That smiley emoji was truly deserved.

When Marco told Elle he would make sure to make a girl feel loved

Seriously, it would be a lie to say that those of us on Team Noah weren’t the least bit tempted to switch loyalties. First of all, those eyes. Second of all, Marco said it perfectly: “You can’t really hold on to someone—because the tighter you hold on to them, the more they want to slip away. All you can do is love them and make sure they know that you’re never going to slip away.” And if that isn’t what love should be like, then what is?

When Noah showed up at Elle’s dance competition

Even when their relationship was on the rocks, Noah still made the trip to surprise Elle at her dance competition—and he looked so proud of her at that! (Now, if only she didn’t mess things up right then and there…)

When Lee told Elle he loves having her around

The Kissing Booth 2 is all about platonic love, too! Admittedly, Elle and Lee’s friendship has stirred up their both respective relationships. But still, we couldn’t help but aww when we learned why he had a hard time ditching his BFF for alone time with his girlfriend. “I just always want you around,” he said. #BFFGoals

When Lee and Rachel got back together at the kissing booth

Another of our fave TKB2 scenes, hands down. We just love how Lee and Rachel’s love story comes full circle in this moment; if you remember the first Kissing Booth movie, then you’ll know that this is where the couple first met!

Throw in the fact that Elle orchestrated this event and that this doubled as her Thanksgiving wish, and you have an absolutely perfect scene.

When Ollie and Miles finally got together

Honestly, this was the scene that had us in tears. After all the little Ollie and Miles moments scattered throughout the movie, it’s safe to say that this one lived up to the buildup! On top of this, seeing their friends react to this moment with all-out support made it even sweeter.

When Noah scrolled through their old photos at the airport

Now, how precious was this? Without fail, seeing Noah’s soft side—especially given his tough guy facade—is always more than enough to make us wish he was our boyfriend.

When Elle followed Noah to the airport… only to find out he left to follow her, too

Such a classic romcom moment! Honestly, we wished they could have reunited where it all began (a.k.a. the kissing booth)—but seeing Noah text Elle to meet her at “the place” warmed our hearts all the same.

With the way she ran straight into his arms, it’s difficult to understand how Noah could think Elle could possibly be in love with someone else!

When Elle finally got around to writing the perfect college essay

Now, here’s another thing we loved about TKB2: It talks about self-love, too. After witnessing her deal with tons of self-doubt and second-guessing throughout the film, it was both comforting and refreshing to see Elle forgive herself for not having everything figured out. In the end, she discovered what was more important: knowing who rather than what she wanted to be in the future. And really, that’s the best any of us can do—be kind to ourselves and work towards self-improvement.
