That first film followed Lara Jean, a teen who writes secret love letters instead of telling her crushes how she really feels, dealing with the fallout of those letters becoming public. Suddenly, the boy she thinks she loves – her sister’s ex-boyfriend Josh (Israel Broussard) – knows that she thinks she loves him.

In order to ingeniously sidestep that potential awkwardness, Lara Jean starts fake dating one of her middle school crushes, a boy by the name of Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo). (Peter Kavinsky! You must always say his full name, because he exists with his full name only, like all high school crushes do.) But you know the plot of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, don’t you? Jean twirl, woah woah woah, Yakult drinks, hot tub splash, etc etc.

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: PS I Still Love You – a missed opportunity to call it 2 All The Boys I’ve Loved Before if you ask me, but nobody appears to have – opens with Lara Jean and Peter in love. Navigating a real relationship, without the protection of a contract, is a whole new world for Lara Jean. And in that world are all the highs of love: fancy pasta dinners, Valentine’s Day presents, holding hands on the rollercoaster at the carnival. But the lows are there too. Peter’s dedication to competitive lacrosse often results in Lara Jean’s exclusion. Not to mention the fact that the spectre of Gen (Emilija Baranac), Peter’s first girlfriend, hovers over every feast, and every first.
