Leah Lewis isn't the teenage girl stereotype you're used to in the new Netflix YA dramedy The Half of It, written and directed by Alice Wu. Far from it, as Leah’s character, Ellie Chu, is an individual with compelling strengths and struggles all her own, and an experience that reflects one version of queer, Chinese American identity. Of course, there’s a love story in the movie that will hook you right away, but it might not end up how you'd expect. As Leah tells Teen Vogue, “It is a love story, it’s just not a ‘romance’ story.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the actress.
