“It was good. It was great. I can’t complain,” Purser said to Vogue of her filming first. “I definitely had a lot of anxiety just because kissing is weird enough as it is, but to do it in front of 30 strangers was something else entirely. I don’t know if I can even say this because I might spoil it, but the scene before the homecoming, that was the first kiss that we shot.” Purser went on to describe how director Ian Samuels built up suspense and anticipation for the scene by keeping her and Centineo apart until right before. “I was very nervous, and I think that was actually very helpful because Sierra is also very nervous in that moment,” Purser added.
