I have been graduated from HS for almost 8 years. I am just shy of Lara Jean's imagined far off 27. I'm not really sure how I got here. After all, as Lara Jean says, the growing up sneaks up on you. And I was so anxious to be out of HS at the time. But, like Lara Jean, I still recognized that this was the end. I worked on quote books of memories for my friends for weeks. I savored every moment. Jenny Han made me feel like it was just yesterday. She made me feel the ache of choices I never had to make. I didn't have a HS boyfriend and relationship to navigate through a transition. I only applied, and thankfully got into, one school. Lara Jean is already living more life. I am sure gonna miss her.
