Kitty’s always saying how origin stories are important. At college, when people ask us how we met, how will we answer them? The short story is, we grew up together. But that’s more Josh’s and my story. High school sweet-hearts? That’s Peter and Gen’s story. So what’s ours, then?
I suppose I’ll say it all started with a love letter.
lit edit: to all the boys i’ve loved before by jenny han
Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That’s the part of the risk. I don’t want to be scared anymore.
“My letters are for when I don’t want to be in love anymore. They’re for good-bye. Because after I write in my letter, I’m not longer consumed by my all-consuming love…My letters set me free. Or at least they’re supposed to.”
1/10 favourite contemporaries ; to all the boys i’ve loved before by jenny han
cute, heart-warming and meaningful!! + seeing more diversity in ya makes me so so so happy (as an asian myself, i can’t even begin to explain how much i loved that lara jean basically subverted all the stereotypes and managed to be relatable, sweet, smart and strong at the same time. good rep is still super rare and it honestly means so much. other writers, pls take note.)

TO ALL THE BOYS IVE LOVED BEFORE l (listen)
I’ve never gotten a love letter before. But reading these notes like this, one after the other, it feels like I have. It’s like … it’s like there’s only ever been Peter. Like everyone else that came before him, they were all to prepare me for this. I think I see the difference now, between loving someone from afar and loving someone up close. When you see them up close, you see the real them, but they also get to see the real you. And Peter does. He sees me, and I see him.
PS I STILL LOVE YOU l (listen)
Peter and Lara Jean promise not to break each other’s hearts.I beam at him, relieved as anything, and then I write it down. Lara Jean and Peter will not break each other’s hearts.
