She gets accepted into the international school called Xo. Kitty was confident that she had it all figured out because she believes she knows everything about love, but! Maybe she’s the perfect matchmaker and advisor for others, but how will she handle her own personal life and studies in a new country among completely unfamiliar people?
Jenny Han, the author of the “To All the Boys” books, co-showrunner and executive producer of the spin-off, describes Kitty’s story as follows: “We all fell in love with Lara Jean and her story.
