After being wait-listed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Lara Jean loses hope of attending college, but is eventually accepted to the College of William & Mary and decides to attend school there. When Peter suggests that after freshman year Lara Jean can transfer to UVA, she begins to consider it her primary goal.

When Margot returns home from university in Scotland with hew new boyfriend, Ravi, Lara Jean's father asks all of his daughters for their blessing to wed Trina.

As Lara Jean finishes high school and settles into her new routine, adjusting to time spent without Peter and to Trina's presence in her home, she learns that UNC has taken her off the wait-list and accepted her. Her best friend Chris urges her to take a spontaneous road trip to the campus to see what she will be missing out on if she sticks to her plan. Lara Jean falls in love with the campus and decides to go to UNC, despite the fact that it is even further away than William & Mary.
