After a number of teasers and trailers released over the past few months, fans are already aware that Lara Jean will have a new love interest in the upcoming sequel.

I Still Love You has a lot more to do with her (Lara Jean) experiencing what it’s like to have your first love and the challenges that come with reconciling your past with your partner’s past.”
Those “pasts” come in the form of Peter’s ex-girlfriend Genevieve (Emilija Baranac), as well as John Ambrose. John not only responds to Lara Jean in writing, but he also comes back into her life when he ends up volunteering at the same senior home as her.
