Synopsis:
Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.
She and Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.
When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?
In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Times bestseller To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara Jean. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of what makes it so amazing.
Review:
Like:
- The romance that the other family members are experiencing
- Day to day life at the Covey household
- Sweet, sappy but realistic romance that will remind you of high school
Love:
- Cute, fun sweet feel good book
- Low intensity read that’s great to read during a stressful time in life – a great getaway in a book
- The Song girl’s relationship – basically the best part of the book, in my opinion
- All the delicious baking with the Song girls
- Lara Jean’s time spent volunteering in a nursing home – allows her to put her whimsical party planning skills to good use and Stormy (a resident) is a hoot!
Dislike:
- Some of the illness of the dating and jealous, but that’s typical of teenagers. To be fair, this book contained far less drama than most other young adult novels.
- the continual drama between Lara Jean and Genevieve
- Not as much of a fan of Chris in this book, because her pessimism gets old after awhile
Wish that:
- The next movie was already made, so I could watch in immediately!
- there was more of the Song girls together
- I wasn’t so confused between the Covey/Song girls – I don’t know why this confuses me … don’t be mad at me for not knowing this
Overall, another great book in the series. I didn’t enjoy P.S. I Still Love You as much as the first book, but you can bet I’m going to read the next one in the series! In P.S. I Still Love You we get even more of Lara Jean’s iconic baking, optimistic innocent romance, Kitty’s sarcastic meddling and so much more drama.
How many of you have read this book, or any of them in the series?
And the real question is . . . are you a Margot, Lara Jean, or Kitty?
