“He took a step closer. "I don't know if I'll ever get you out of my system, not completely. I have this… feeling. That you'll always be there. Here." Conrad clawed at his heart and then dropped his hand.”

“Underneath my lashes I watched him, and I thought, Come back. Be the you I love and remember”

“He made it so hard not to love him. When he was sweet like this, I remembered why I did. Used to love him, I mean. I remembered everything.”

“I deserve better than that, you know? I deserve… I deserve to be someone's number one girl."

"You are."

"No, I'm not. She is. You're still protecting her, her secret, whatever that is. From what, though? From me? What have I ever done to her?”

“Firsts are best because they are beginnings.”

“It's funny how much of your childhood is about proximity.”

“It's not all of a sudden," he said, his eyes locked on mine. "It's always.”

“Lara: Because sometimes you just feel sad and you can't explain it.

Kitty: PMS?

Lara: No. It's not PMS. Just because a girl is sad, it doesn't mean it has anything to do with PMS.”

“And then he smiled at me, and he was Jeremiah again. Susannah’s boy, sunshine and smiles. Her little angel.”

“He will let you down, because that's what he does. That's who he is.”

“Is it so impossible that Conrad Fisher would like me?”

“It wasn’t was easy as picking one over the other. Nothing ever was. It wasn’t as though I’d even had a choice, not really.”

“I don't want to be afraid anymore. I want to be brave. I want… life to start happening. I want to fall in love and want a boy to fall in love with me back -Lara Jean”

“He kisses like… like it could be his job.” Margot giggles and lifts the spoons off her eyes. “Like a male prostitute?”

“Hearing him say it now, that is was my birthday present, touched me in the last place I wanted him to touch me. My heart.”

“I hoped I never saw him again. If I ever had to look at him again, if he looked at me the way he did that day, it would break me.”

“I could make him mine. But I don't want him. I want someone else. It feels strange to have spent so much time wishing for something, for someone, and then one day, suddenly, to just stop.”

“It was at that exact moment that I saw Peter walking down the hall toward me. He looked so good. He deserved his own background music.”

“I went over and over everything that had ever happened between us. I couldn’t keep doing it, going back and fourth, holding her close and then pushing her away. It wasn’t right”

“One day soon you'll be in the world, and you'll have so many options you won't know what to do with them. Everyone will fall in love with you, because you're so beautiful and so charming, and you'll look back on high school as such a tiny blip.”

“It snuck up on me—growing up, I mean.”

“You know how I know she's your most important person? You pick her every time.”

“Happiness is a Slurpee and a hot pink straw.”

“But you're the most special to me, because you're the girl I love, Lara Jean”

“Things have a way of settling back.”

“You can't judge who you love the most by how long you love them.”

“One day all of this will be proof, proof that we were here, proof that we loved each other. It’s the guarantee that no matter what happens to us in the future, this time was ours. When”

“It's kind of silly to feel so disappointed about something you only just realized you wanted, isn't it?”

“I do this to feign confidence, because the more I fake it, the more it's supposed to feel true.”
