I just have one question: do they make heart sunglasses this cute?

This time around, our relatable heroine is a single mom four years after Mark's (Colin Firth) death, and both finds herself in constantly awkward interactions with Mr. Wallaker (Chiwetel Ejiofor) AND drawn to Roxster (Leo Woodall).
