Synopsis

In the final book of Jenny Han's trilogy, Lara Jean Song Covey is in her last year of high school, and for once life feels settled: she's happily with Peter Kavinsky, her father is marrying the neighbor she's grown to love, and the plan is for her and Peter to go to the University of Virginia together and never really be apart. Then the college letters arrive, and Lara Jean's future refuses to match the one she imagined.

As she juggles her dad's wedding, a senior year full of lasts, and the terrifying question of what she and Peter become when the map changes, Lara Jean has to decide how much of her future she's willing to plan around someone else — and how much she wants to discover on her own.

Warm, wistful, and full of the small domestic details fans love, Always and Forever, Lara Jean is a tender coming-of-age story about first love, family, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown.
