The Best Lesbian Romances to Stream on Netflix This Month

Smart and shy, Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) agrees to write love letters to a popular jock's love interest for him. Though strapped for money, she soon finds herself falling for his crush while developing a friendship with him. At the end of the day, she has to figure out who means more to her. Besides the queer take on "Cyrano de Bergerac," the film shows us Ellie's experience as one of the only Asian Americans in a predominantly white town. We also get a tender look at her relationship with her widowed father, who's been having a hard time making ends meet.
