Synopsis:

Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.

They were just pretending. Until they weren’t. And now Lara Jean has to learn what it’s like to be in a real relationship and not just a make-believe one.

But when another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him suddenly return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?

This contemporary young adult romance is the continuation of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Readers can expect a lighthearted story with a subtle love triangle and an exploration of what it’s means to be 16 and in love.

Mentions condom use and orgasm. An elderly woman talks about the “thrill of a boy putting his hands on you for the first time.”
