Ellie, the brainier one, who can decipher every theory every emotions but has no idea what love is. May be because the one love she saw around her she didn't understand that. Inshort she was not looking in the right place.
Paul, the soft bear, knows what he wants and is content with it. He understands love and even the many love he later comes to find about. He is the sweet guy any girl could fall for even if he is not into books or painting for that matter.
Aster, the lost soul. She knows what she wants but is not courageous enough to go for it. Divine intervention as she wants was the final push she needed to go for that Bold Stroke.
I will not compare this movie to "To all the boys" or to "Sierra Burgess". Because I believe this movie had more depth and less drama. I felt the dialogues were intense for a high school teen movie but thats what I liked the most about this movie.
"Love is messy and horrible and selfish and ... Bold"
