To All the Boys I've Loved Before meets Since You’ve Been Gone in this effervescent romance about childhood best friends reconnecting, full of sunny days, warm nights, first kisses, and mended hearts. Lou Patterson and Sam Alvarez were inseparable—the best of friends—until the most embarrassing middle school promposal ever. Now, four years later, Lou is an introverted romantic who’s bearing the weight of her mother’s expectations. Meanwhile, Sam is the golden boy with plenty of friends who’s still mourning the death of his father. When Lou finds the bucket list she and Sam wrote together as kids, she’s disappointed to see that she hasn’t accomplished a single one of her goals. Go to a party? Nope. Pull the greatest prank of all time? Still no. Learn how to be a really good kisser? Definitely not. Lou sets out to finish the list, and in a stroke of fate, Sam decides to tag along, stirring up old arguments and some very new feelings. But with the bucket list to guide them, Sam and Lou might just be able to find a way toward the future and each other.
