"I love you," is hard to say especially for a young teenager. Lara Jean is a shy 16 year old girl who gets her feelings out about all the boys she's loved throughout the years by writing them a love letter. After writing the letters that she addresses them, puts them in her deceased mother's hatbox, and then hides them under her bed. Lara Jean's life dramatically changes the day she discovers that the letters have all been mailed. Now she must go to school and face all the boys she's loved before. To All The Boys I've Loved Before is based on a young adult novel Jenny Han.
