Personality

“	I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.	”
—W. B. Yeats, Always and Forever, Lara Jean (Lara Jean's yearbook quote)

Lara Jean is generally considered a nice, quirky and shy girl that enjoys scrapbooking, fashion, especially Korean and vintage clothing, and baking. She is said to have decent grades. She is extremely attached to her sisters Margot and Kitty and has a good relationship with her father. She misses her mother Eve Song but also wants her father to remarry, which he does in Always and Forever, Lara Jean. She is also described as "a girl that falls in love easily", referring to how she tends to have crushes easier than other people might and is often called "quirky" by Peter.

Relationships

• Peter Kavinsky
• John Ambrose McClaren
• Josh Sanderson

Lara Jean had feelings for Peter since middle school, although she eventually gives up on him and tries to completely stop loving him by writing him a letter. After a series of unfortunate events, they end up fake-dating, which was Peter’s attempt to get his old girlfriend back. When she realizes that she had fallen for him again, she tries to suppress her feelings for him at first but gives in when Peter confesses to her. He ends up being her boyfriend.

Lara Jean and John Ambrose McClaren are childhood friends who got separated after John's family moved away. After reconnecting through Lara Jean's letter, they begin to develop romantic feelings for each other, which make Lara Jean wonder how it would be to be in a relationship with John instead of Peter. Ultimately, she ends up choosing Peter over John.

Josh is Lara Jean's childhood friend and Margot's ex-boyfriend. After Margot and he break up at the beginning of To All the Boys I've Loved Before, Lara Jean is afraid that the feelings she used to have for him until 9th grade might surface again and when her letters get sent out, she starts a fake relationship with Peter to conceal her feelings for Josh.

Enemies

• Genevieve

Genevieve and Lara Jean used to be childhood friends until Genevieve cut ties with her before high school. Lara Jean never understood why they stopped being friends but accepted it. In P.S. I Still Love You it is revealed that Genevieve saw Lara Jean kissing Peter at the gathering at John's house in seventh grade, making her feel betrayed by Lara Jean, who knew that Genevieve liked Peter and that Genevieve didn't consider them friends from that point on. However, at the end of the book, it is shown that Genevieve, just like Lara Jean, put her friendship bracelet into the time capsule at the end of middle school, it being the thing dearest to her at that time.
