The story of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han takes place in a small town in the East Coast, and is told by the protagonist, Lara Jean. Lara Jean is a 16-year-old Korean-American who lives with her dad and two sisters, Margot and Kitty. She is a hopeless romantic who writes letters to all the boys she has fallen for--five in total--as a goodbye and as an act of forgetting her feelings for them, but she never sends the them out. One of the boys she has written a letter for is Peter Kavinsky, the “most handsome of all the handsome” who dated Genevieve, a side antagonist. Another person who Lara Jean wrote a letter for is Josh Sanderson, their next door neighbour who also happens to be the current boyfriend of Margot, her older sister.

Confused, Lara Jean asks him what he was talking about until she realized that he is talking about the letter she wrote for him a long time ago. This leaves Lara Jean in a panic and she rushes home to find her hatbox, wherein she keeps all her letters. She finds the hatbox but the letters are missing. She then, realizes that Josh received the letter too. In fear, she tries to hide from Josh, but it doesn’t last for long. Josh walks up to her locker one day and confronts her about the letter. Alarmed, she lies to him and says that she doesn’t have feelings for him anymore and that she is dating someone else. Someone else named Peter Kavinsky. Peter goes along with the lie for the reason that he had recently just broken up with Genevieve and wanted to make the girl jealous and prove to her that he is no longer her property. Throughout Peter and Lara Jean’s agreement, they both get confused on whether it is something real or not. They act as if they are in a real relationship (even Kitty is convinced!) and this makes Josh incredibly jealous. Josh tells Lara Jean about his feelings, and kisses her even though they both know that Josh is still in love with Margot. This also ends up being the reason why Lara Jean becomes sure of what she feels for
