In this episode of The Drink, NBC News anchor Kate Snow sits down with bestselling author and showrunner Jenny Han — the creative force behind the smash-hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Over peach iced teas at LODI in New York City (though Han insists the drink wasn’t a hidden Easter egg for fans!), the two dive into Han’s journey: growing up in Virginia, championing diversity in Hollywood, and what’s in store for the final chapter of Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah.

The Drink is Kate Snow’s interview series featuring candid conversations with actors, authors, athletes, and visionaries — all over the beverage of their choice.
