comment
The Promposal: It's prom season. A dance number that ends with umbrellas spelling PROM? makes up the film's first promposal. Peter's is more subdued; he presents her with pancakes and spells PROM? with syrup.

Long-Distance Relationship
 To All the Boys: Always and Forever / int_3497a64e
comment
Long-Distance Relationship: The main problem with Lara Jean's and Peter's relationship. The two apply at Stanford so they can be together, but only Peter gets accepted. Lara Jean is later accepted at UC Berkeley, which is only an hour away, so they can meet in San Francisco at weekends. However, Lara Jean ends up choosing New York University — at which she is also accepted — because she loves everything about New York, even though the city is on the other side of the country. Although Peter doesn't take it well at first, he eventually relents.

Bittersweet Ending: In the end, Lara Jean and Peter choose to go their separate ways, with the former attending NYU and the latter attending Stanford. However, they promise to work towards keeping their relationship intact, even if living 3000 miles away for four years will certainly be a huge obstacle in it.

Career Versus Man
 To All the Boys: Always and Forever / int_4376f049
comment
Career Versus Man: Lara Jean is torn between attending UC Berkeley, which will at least enable her to be with Peter at weekends, and NYU, which will require her to move to a state that's 3000 miles away and potentially sacrifice her relationship with him. She eventually chooses NYU, but resolves to retain their relationship.

Second-Act Breakup
 To All the Boys: Always and Forever / int_59166261
comment
Second-Act Breakup: Once again, Lara Jean and Peter break up at the end of the second act. Not because of a misunderstanding this time, but rather because Peter is overwhelmed by Lara Jean's decision to move to New York and thinks that there is no way their relationship can be salvaged, so he wants to end it here and now. After a talk with his father, however, he decides to give the relationship another go, even if LDR will be a difficult choice.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 To All the Boys: Always and Forever / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: A lot of things revolving around the college application are changed because of the Setting Update from Virginia to Oregon. In the book, Lara Jean's first college of choice is the UVA, her second choice (so she wouldn't have to study far away from Peter) is William & Mary, and her final choice is the UNC-Chapel Hill. The film changes them to Stanford, UC Berkeley, and NYU, respectively. Lara Jean does visit New York in the book, but this is treated more as a footnote, rather than the eye-opening moment for her to begin considering NYU as her college of choice. Following up Genevieve's Adaptational Nice Guy, it's her who suggests that Lara Jean move to New York, so they can attend NYU together. In the book, Gen goes to Virginia Tech and never makes up with Lara Jean, while Chris is the one who suggests her to study at UNC-Chapel Hill. The trip to South Korea is moved to the beginning of the film. In the book, this is Dan's gift to Lara Jean for her birthday, which doesn't happen until near the end, and the book ends before the plot gets there. In the book, Lara Jean is the one who feels insecure about her imminent LDR with Peter and initiates the (brief) breakup with him. The film changes this so it's Peter who does all of the above.

Cannot Spit It Out
 To All the Boys: Always and Forever / int_653c5c73
comment
Cannot Spit It Out: Lara Jean sends the wrong text message to Peter (meant for Margot), which makes it look like she got accepted at Stanford. Seeing him overjoyed, she initially doesn't have the heart to divulge the truth for fear of disappointing him, so she keeps procrastinating until the trip to New York. He actually takes it well and even asks if she is let down.
