To All the Boys Books in Order

To All the Boys I've Loved Before is the love-letters trilogy: Lara Jean Song Covey writes letters to every boy she has ever loved - five of them - and keeps them in a hatbox, until the day the letters get mailed. Jenny Han's three novels (2014-2017) track the fallout through two boyfriends, one fake-contract relationship that turns real, sisterhood, and senior year. The trilogy is complete, short, and finished on the page - but the universe kept growing on screen: three Netflix films (2018-2021), and XO, Kitty, the spin-off series following the youngest Song Covey sister to Seoul, which reached season three in April 2026. This page sequences the books, the films, and the one order question they raise (2014–2017).

Where to start

To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2014), book one - the letters go out in chapter one, so there is no other door.

Does the reading order matter?

The trilogy, strict: To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2014), P.S. I Still Love You (2015), Always and Forever, Lara Jean (2017) - complete, and the romance triangle (Peter, then John Ambrose McClaren) only pays in sequence. The films: To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018), P.S. I Still Love You (2020), Always and Forever (2021) map one-to-one onto the books, with the third film folding in the senior-year material. XO, Kitty (2023-) is a television-original spin-off about Kitty, not Lara Jean - it adapts no book, so there is nothing to read before it. The 15th-anniversary illustrated editions reprint the originals; there is no fourth novel

Which one is the best?

To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2014), the premise that made it a phenomenon; P.S. I Still Love You (2015), the triangle done fairly; Always and Forever, Lara Jean (2017), the ending that earned its college goodbye.
