From Seventeen
Netflix’s movie The Kissing Booth tells the super sweet and funny story of how Elle Evans (Joey King) and Noah Flynn (Jacob Elordi) start secretly dating, which becomes a major issue when Elle’s BFF and Noah’s younger brother, Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) finds out.
Without giving too much away, Elle and Lee made a list of rules when they were younger, and one of them (number nine to be exact) states that Noah is totally off limits.
