Lara Jean's love life goes from imaginary to out of control. What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them...all at once?

One for every boy she's ever loved--five in all. When she writes, she pours out her heart and soul and says all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean's love life goes from imaginary to out of control.
