As far as series about teenagers are concerned, there’s never enough good romantic scenes and couples that make us swoon. The series To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before was written by Jenny Han and quickly became fan-favorite for many readers who fell in love with the characters and their complicated lives.

It was only a matter of time before the world got to see the books transformed into films, and the adaptation didn’t disappoint. Lana Condor nailed the part of Lara Jean and with the other actors and the film’s creators helped bring to life some truly iconic moments and quotes about love.

10 Love Is Scary

Lara Jean starts as a friendly girl who’s closed off from the rest of the world, someone who doesn’t want to fall in love. The reason for this is simple – Lara Jean is afraid that if she’ll love someone, he’ll leave her just like her mom did.

It makes it difficult for her to get closer to Peter Kavinsky. In the end, Lara Jean finds the courage to take the leap and tells Peter how she feels: “Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That’s the part of the risk. I don’t want to be scared anymore.”

9 Fantasy Person

The quote: “You’d rather make up a fantasy version of somebody in your head than be with a real person.” is quite painful but it also rings true. Sometimes it’s just easier to fantasize about people without trying to get to know them.

Lara Jean spends year imagining the reactions of the boys she loves, and conversations with them, but when it comes to the real deal, she usually doesn’t say anything. Lara Jean stays silent because if she doesn’t tell the truth, she also won’t get hurt. Luckily for Lara Jean, she eventually breaks this cycle by confessing her feelings to Peter.

8 Not Like The Movies

Whoever said that love was greatest on the silver screen – was wrong, as this quote attests: “It’s not like in the movies. It’s better because it’s real.” Lara Jean is a vivid reader of romance novels, as the viewers see very early in the film.

Right in the first scene of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, she imagines meeting her crush Josh in a beautiful field and sharing a kiss with him, before she’s interrupted by her sister. However, even the most beautiful love story doesn’t hold a candle to reality, because it isn’t real. Once Lara Jeans learns this, her life completely changes.

7 First Choice

Lara Jean undergoes a significant transformation in the first part of the series. When she starts fake-dating Peter, she has no idea how attached she could get. Even when she realizes she actually likes him, she’s reluctant to do anything about it because she believes that Peter is in love with his former girlfriend Gen.

“I want to say yes, but I don’t want to be with a boy whose heart belongs to somebody else. Just once, I want to be somebody else’s first choice”. Lara Jean wants Peter to prefer her, and in the end, he realizes who’s more important to him.

6 Say Goodbye

In many ways, Lara Jean acts according to her age although she’s a bit more cynical since she’s able to seemingly cast away her feelings when they lead to nothing. For this, she uses the trick to write letters to the boys she loves, and once she does, the love goes away: “My letters are for when I don’t want to be in love anymore. They’re for good-bye. Because after I write in my letter, I’m no longer consumed by my all-consuming love…My letters set me free. Or at least they’re supposed to.”

It’s debatable, though, whether she truly manages to get rid of the feelings or just keeps them buried.

5 Break My Heart

Another important lesson about love the books and films To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before bring is that it doesn’t always work out the way you want to. Sometimes even if you love someone, they don’t love you back, or only see you as a friend.

Lara Jean suffers when she sees Josh date her older sister Margot and she confronts him in her mind when she writes: “Josh, you break my heart. And you’re a liar. Because you know me, you know me better than almost anybody, and you don’t love me.” Because no matter what Lara Jean does, Josh never seems to see her the way she wants to.

4 Belonging To Someone

The fact is that you don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy. You can live just as an amazing life when you’re single, with no relationship on the horizon.

That said, there are certainly advantages to sharing yourself with another person, as Lara Jean eventually learns: “To belong to someone—I didn’t know it, but now that I think about, it seems like that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To really be somebody’s, and to have them be mine.” She and Peter bond over the pain of losing their parents, and talk to one another about things they don’t share with anyone else.

3 The Real You

In the end, one of the biggest challenges in any relationship can be to open yourself to another person and let them see you for who you really are, all imperfections and mistakes and secrets included, as this quote shows: “I see the difference now, between loving someone from afar and loving someone up close. When you see them up close, you see the real them, but they also get to see the real you.”

Lara Jean tends to hide from Peter but it isn’t until they open up to one another that their relationship can truly evolve and become more real.

2 Just Stop

All loves end and all hearts are broken, said another TV show, but it also works for To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Lara Jean loves Josh for a long time but she eventually moves on and is able to fall for Peter even after her heart got broken. That takes a lot of courage to do and Lara Jean is very inspirational in this area.

Even though stopping to love Josh isn’t easy for her, she does it anyway: “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.”

1 Keep Him Going

In the end, being in love and in a relationship means being a support to your partner, no matter what he or she is going through. Lara Jean eventually grows to realize that no-one is perfect, not even the seemingly carefree Peter Kavinsky, and once she does, she also realizes how important it is to be there for him: “I want to be that person for him, I want to be the one who keeps him going during this difficult time.”

But she also knows that it’s just as important to be there for her friends, whether it’s Chris, John Ambrose, or even Gen, with whom she didn’t get along for years.
