Lara Jean is the middle of three sisters who have always been together. When their mother died a few years ago, it was Margot, the eldest, that took the responsibility of running the household for her family. Margot cooks, plans the shopping, and raises Katherine, or Kitty, their 9 year-old sister. Their surgeon father works hard, but is clueless when it comes to girls.
Margot has now graduated, however, and is moving to Scotland to study. This leaves Lara Jean in charge of the household. A junior, Lara Jean has loved five boys during her short life. When love is not reciprocated, Lara Jean writes a letter to the boy she loved explaining why she loved him. She never sends these letters, but keeps them in a secret hat box in her closet. Her hardest crush was on Josh, who lives next door. Unfortunately for her, he fell for Margot before she could muster the courage to ask him out. So she wrote him a letter.
Margot has broken up with Josh, however, and now something terrible has just happened to Lara Jean. Somehow her secret letters have been mailed to the five boys she loved, and now she is confronted by the recipients of the letters. It’s time for Lara Jean to grow up and learn to deal with her feelings.
