It’s the spring of senior year of high school. Lara Jean can’t believe how much her life is going to change in just a few months, but in her own true style, she has everything planned out. Once she gets accepted to UVA, where her boyfriend Peter will also be attending, they can continue their relationship and she can have the college experience she’s always dreamed of. Since she lives only 15 minutes away from the campus, it won't be a major adjustment to be away from home, so she won't miss watching her younger sister grow up or anything else.
The last few months of high school will see some exciting moments—prom, beach week, spirit week, her dad’s relationship with their neighbor is intensifying, and her older sister will bring her new boyfriend home for a visit. But those same months will also see increasing tension, as Lara Jean tries to figure out her college plans and, most importantly, what they mean for her relationship with Peter. Her mother and her sister always said, "Don’t go to college with a boyfriend." Peter’s mom wants to be sure he enjoys college without the burden of a relationship, too, and isn't shy about telling Lara Jean that.
Should she and Peter break up? Should they try and see if their relationship can last through college? Are they meant to be? How is she going to manage being away from home? Can she handle everything changing so drastically?
Han really created a terrific series, with characters I’ve gotten to know and which feel like old friends. This is a sweet book, full of fun, emotion, and enjoyable moments. Sure, it's predictable, but that doesn't matter, because it's just so engaging. I read the entire book in just a few hours.
So what do I do now that I’m done with the series? Guess I better watch the adaptation on Netflix, which I’ve avoided until now.
