“i worried he'd let go, but he didn't. We held hands like this the whole rest of the way home.”

“But I loved that house, and I hated to say good-bye. Because, it was more than just a house. It was every summer, every boat ride, every sunset. It was Susannah.”

“Peter will love Lara Jean with all his heart, always”

“In the pool, on that last night of the last summer, we said we’d always come back. It’s scary how easy promises were broken. Just like that.”

“It wouldn't kill you to get out of your comfort zone a little bit.”
