What happened in The Kissing Booth?
In the first film, which came out in 2018, Elle Evans fell in love with her best friend's older brother, Noah, despite the fact that he was strictly off-limits.
After their secret romance was discovered by her betrayed BFF Lee, Elle breaks up with Noah. However, she eventually reconciles with Lee, who gives her the green light for her relationship with Noah, and she drives to the airport to stop Noah from leaving for college early to find that he was in the car the whole time.
They spend the last few weeks together before he leaves for Harvard and they promise to stay together long-distance. We'll see how that turns out!
