Sorry, but it seems there won’t be a post-postscript to this trilogy. Back in 2020, when Netflix’s P.S. I Still Love You adaptation was coming out, Centineo told Variety about the prospect of a fourth installment in the series, “If Jenny Han writes a fourth book, sign me up!" Han reportedly responded to that quote by sharing a thinking emoji on Twitter, but has since taken the tweet down. The year before that, at the 2019 BookCon in New York, Han had shot down the idea of a fourth book when she declared, “I know I’m done.” She added, “Never say never, but I think as far as Lara Jean’s story, the trilogy is complete.”
