Is there anything more romantic than an American traveling to the UK for a life-altering experience? That’s the gist of My Oxford Year, a new romance film on Netflix starring Sofia Carson and based on the novel by Julia Whelan. Carson plays Anna, who has a good thing going for her.

Jamie feared that he’d hold her back, and didn’t want to burden Anna with the reality of caring for a dying person. But Anna…
