“There’s a Korean word my grandma taught me. John likes Lara Jean a lot, but she finds she cannot get over Peter as a boyfriend, or even Genevieve as a friend. She starts seeing another boy who received one of her letters, John Ambrose McClaren.

She tells him she deserves “to be someone’s number one girl.” He claims she is, but she doesn’t believe him, and breaks up with him. Lara Jean is hurt and angry about Peter and Genevieve, and feels like Peter isn’t over Genevieve. Since Peter started seeing Lara Jean, her relations with Genevieve are even worse. Genevieve used to be Lara Jean’s best friend, but no longer is. Meanwhile, Peter keeps hanging out with his former girlfriend Genevieve, telling Lara Jean he needs to comfort her because of a family problem she has that he can’t reveal. We will heat up for each other over time.” Whenever she sees someone watching the hot tub video, she wants to scream at them: “We didn’t have sex! We are brisket!” Lara Jean is not ready for sex, and thinks: “I decide that Peter and I will be the relationship equivalent of a brisket. But they were only kissing, albeit passionately. Everyone assumes they are having sex, especially after a video went viral of them together in a hot tub. In the first book, Lara Jean and Peter got together as a couple, after some fits and starts. One of them is Peter Kavinsky, a handsome boy in Lara Jean’s class in junior high. But the letters somehow got sent out, and two boys in particular have reacted to Lara Jean with interest after reading them. She never sent those letters rather, she kept them in a hat box her mother gave her before dying six years before. In the first book, we learn that Lara Jean Song Covey, 16, wrote secret love letters to every boy she has ever loved – five in all. While each of the books in the series “ends,” they aren’t really standalones. This book picks up immediately after the first book in the series, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, as if it were just the next chapter. Note: Some spoilers for the first book in the series.
