Booksmart encourages authenticity in a world of conformity. The characters know exactly who they are and aren't ashamed of that. They never try to change themselves in order to be accepted by their crushes or society — a crucial step people must take if they want to live unapologetically in this increasingly digital world. Personally, it took me a long time to love myself and feel comfortable in my own skin because of the way so many coming-of-age films stereotype and categorise people. Having a movie like Booksmart growing up would have been extremely meaningful and special to me.
