SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Voicemails for Isabelle,” now streaming on Netflix.

Netflix’s latest rom-com hit, “Voicemails for Isabelle,” landed on the streamer last Friday following nearly eight years of changes on its road to the screen, including screenwriter Leah McKendrick taking over as director. Among the biggest switches made to the script since stars Zoey Deutch (“Something From Tiffany’s”) and Nick Robinson (“Love, Simon”) first read it was a key factor in the overall plot: just how much Wes (Robinson) attempted to tell Jill (Deutch) he was receiving the intimate voicemails she was leaving for her late sister, Isabelle (Ciara Bravo).
