Zoey Deutch is fast becoming the queen of modern rom-coms. Following her standout performance opposite Glen Powell in 2018's Set It Up, the 31-year-old has landed lead roles in Something from Tiffany's and The Threesome, establishing herself as one of Hollywood's most reliable rom-com stars.
Her latest role is in Netflix's Voicemails for Isabelle, which follows a young woman named Jill, who copes with the loss of her sister, Isabelle (Ciara Bravo), by leaving her confessional voicemails about her life in San Francisco. But when the number is reassigned, Wes (Nick Robinson), an elusive Texas real estate agent, begins receiving the messages without her knowing.

"And we arrived there, and he tried, nonchalantly, to be like, 'Hey, so I planned dinner on Monday.' And I was like, 'So did I. I'm sure you saw on the Google doc.'
While it may not have been a surprise proposal, Zoey described it as "romantic," "perfect" and "one of the best nights of my life."
