Fluffy romance movie with some teen angst

Very lively and upbeat, easy to watch. Not much to the story, but if you like fluffy romances with only a pretense of drama, then this might be for you.

Key points worth mentioning (may include spoilers):
- This feels like a movie for/about teenagers, but I believe they are actually in their early 20s.

- I didn't like the main characters, but they weren't too obnoxious. I didn't feel emotionally invested in them, but they did seem to have realistic chemistry with one another.

- There is a character with Autism, which is referred to as ASD (at least in the subtitles). This is the correct modern diagnostic term, but not everyone is familiar with this.

- Contains depictions of multiple types of abusive relationships.

- The story does involve a rich guy harassing a working-class girl while she's at work even after she rejects him. (The problem with hitting on someone while they're at work is that they're cornered - they can't escape you and because you're a customer they can't be rude to you.).. This can be acceptable in fantasy, but I'm sick of seeing it portrayed as cute and romantic.

- Despite being made in 2022, it is a straight snapshot of early 2000s fashion and style choices, including those strand fringes that were so popular with teens. If the eyebrows were pencil-thin and the eye shadow was more over the top, I would think this was set in 2002 not 2022.
