She has written five love letters to the most intense crushes of her life, including her childhood friend and crush Josh (Israel Broussard), who is dating her older sister Margot (Janel Parrish). Concerned for her social life, her younger sister Kitty (Anna Cathcart) sends out the letters to their intended recipients — one of whom is Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo), popular guy and ex-boyfriend to resident head bitch Genevieve (Emilija Baranac). Peter approaches Lara Jean with a proposition: they fake-date to get Josh, Genevieve, and the rest of the school off of their backs.The film was directed by Susan Johnson and was released internationally on Netflix on August 17, 2018. It got two sequels based on the subsequent books: To All the Boys: P.S.

Adaptational Nice Guy: The film plays down or eliminates most of Peter's bad traits in the books, where he is generally nice but can be quite jockish and vain. He also almost never curses in the film, whereas the books' Peter curses like a sailor. Josh is also much nicer in the film, especially in his reaction to receiving Lara Jean’s letter. Book Josh tries to cozy up to her as a rebound from his breakup with Margot, and even forces a kiss on her, while Film Josh doesn’t do anything so selfish and is just trying to figure out what Lara Jean is doing. Once she explains to Josh how he wasn’t supposed to receive the letter and she doesn’t want to date him, he graciously accepts with no hard feelings. Kitty in the book sent out Lara Jean’s letters as revenge for embarrassing her, while in the film Kitty does it thinking it will help her sister come out of her shell (and also so Kitty can get free favors from her sister’s boyfriend-to-be.)
