But I did like that they used jung in both the movie and the book to describe their relationship. But does it excuse hardcore bullying? Who knows. So she finds out what Gen’s family drama is and starts to understand why Peter is so adamant about being there for her. Instead, she ends up witnessing Gen’s dad cheating on her mother with a really young woman. They have a lot of meetings at the nursing home until eventually by chance Lara Jean sees Gen driving and vows to end the game victorious. His help is convenient because in the book he ends up being Stormy from Belleview’s great-grandson. Meanwhile, Lara Jean with her broken heart and all enlists John Ambrose’s help to tag out her last remaining opponent, Gen. Finding out he was waiting for Gen in the hot tub. It’s basically the same in the book and the movie and it’s totally brutal. Everyone jokes that LJ is to meek to win the ultimate prize, a wish of the winner’s choice, that she becomes obsessed with victory. Once you tag your opponent out, you inherit their person and so on until only one is left standing.

The game is like tag but each player gets the name of one other player at the start and that’s the person they’re responsible for tagging out. As tensions are running high, they decided to revive an old game they used to play: Assassin. Chests are similarly puffed between JA and PK, and Peter does bring Gen. Lara Jean plans the time capsule party by herself and invites John Ambrose by letter. Their relationship develops a lot and feels more robust in the books. The John Ambrose letter arrives on the scene in much the same way in the book and in the movie, but book Lara Jean writes him back in the book and they become pen pals. Lara Jean is just as in her head about their relationship in the book as in the movie, if not more so. However in the book, Peter takes her to the movies and Gen is THERE and she TEXTS him.

I Still Love You movie opens and in the book, she makes just as big of a deal about her very first date. On to the first date! This is where the P.S. As we know, Gen is behind all of this which makes it a little more questionable that Peter stands by her, but hey, she’s going through stuff. In the book, LJ gets bullied about it way worse, including having stills of the video put up as desktop wallpapers on all the school computers and having the video play live during a school assembly.
