Netflix’s popular movie franchise, The Kissing Booth, dimmed its lights for the last time last week (August 11), with the latest movie premiering on the streaming service. A day after the film’s release, author Beth Reekles’ latest kissing booth book was also released.
In a youtube Q&A, Reekles revealed that he wrote the final book based on the script that was written for the Netflix movie. Although most of it is more or less the same, Reekles has made some differences in the final chapter of Elle, Lee, and Noah’s stories.
If you’ve already seen The Kissing Booth 3, you’ll know that it ends with an epilogue that sees Elle and Noah reunite six years later. The same epilogue exists in the book, but it’s slightly different than what viewers see in the movie, and it also offers perhaps an even more hopeful ending for Elle and Noah.

Warning: There are spoilers for the ending of The Kissing Booth 3: One Last Time Book. don’t continue reading if you plan to read!
In the epilogue of The Kissing Booth 3 movie, viewers watched as a twenty-something Elle was reunited face-to-face with twenty-something Noah for, presumably, the first time in six years.
They catch up, congratulate each other on their work, and then agree to meet up when Noah is back in town, promising to call at a later date. The pair then share a moment before Noah leaves.
In the final shot, we see that noah kept his promise, as he and she, both clearly now great friends again, ride together on their own motorcycles. the fate of their romantic relationship is left open for fans to interpret however they like.
much of the epilogue of the book is the same; Elle is a video game developer, Lee and Rachel are engaged, and Noah has some big job offers on the table. the strong focus on the undeniable connection she and noah still have is there too.
However, there are a few small details in the book that differ from the ending of the movie for Elle and Noah.
At the end of the book, it’s revealed that Elle and Noah stayed friendly over the years. Elle had returned home a couple of times to attend Brad’s parent-teacher conferences, and Noah came back for Christmas one year with Chloe (Amanda in the books) while she dealt with her parents divorce. It’s also revealed that Elle and Noah both had other relationships during those six years away.
Instead of Noah being offered jobs in New York and Los Angeles, the book reveals that he is actually moving back to California in hopes of getting a promotion within his company.
The book also makes it even clearer, through Elle’s internal monologue, that those feelings she had for Noah still remain.
and in the final part of the epilogue, instead of leaving and promising to return, noah asks if she wants to go out to dinner after enjoying the carnival. she says, “I’d like that” before he replies, “then it’s a date.”
The movie’s last bike ride doesn’t exist within the book’s epilogue, but with the pair agreeing to go out to dinner and Noah calling it a “date,” it sounds like the book may offer Elle and Noah shippers a little more than one confirmation that one day they will be together again.
