This was an amazing book and overall this duology was just so perfect.
I loved the way it talked about love, particularly in high school. It didn’t portray it as being forever. It can end so easily like with Margot and Josh, but it's worth it.
I also loved how casually the book just mentions
I also appreciated the small little mention of Japanese interment camps during the USO party planning.
Overall, these two books exceeded my expectations and are now some of my all time favorites. Jenny Han is a genius.

I actually found myself enjoying this book more than the first. Perhaps I'd just become more accustomed to Lara Jean and her style, but this was a really sweet and enjoyable novel. Lara Jean comes into her own in the sequel, as she negotiates high school and all the romantic woes she encounters along the way. The second book also avoids a few of the "icks" I felt from the first (e.g., crushing on her older sister's boyfriend). You become a little more used to some of Lara Jean's idioms, and she really does grow up a bit -- taking care of her sitter, Kitty (still a spitfire and a great character all in her own), looking out for her dad, and coming out of her own world a bit.
Even better, the plot is unpredictable and keeps you guessing. Both boys seem viable options for Lara Jean, and she truly comes out of her shell and lives a little, while still remaining true to her self (key). The book presents a great family dynamic with Lara Jean's dad, a single guy raising his three girls, and the supporting cast of characters (especially Kitty) are fun and well-developed. Overall, I read this one in about 24 hours and found it quite entertaining and delightful. A great presentation of high school life and certainly a worthy sequel.

What was this?
Are these feelings?
I don't want this. Make me not feel.
I loved this book with passion. Please, please, please, give me my third book, Jenny Han.
God, I love this woman. Her writing style is so easy to read, so real.
P.S. I Still Love You was a really good read. I think To All the Boys
I thought I didn't need this second book, but I just started and I couldn't close the book. I couldn't! I had to finish.
So I did. And my life was broken and, at the same time, rebuilt. I'm in love with this story. I'm in love with the characters. I freaking love Kitty; I need her in my life.

The sequel to To All The Boys I've Loved Before, P.S. I Still Love You is about the differences between having a pretend-boyfriend and a real boyfriend, and looking back on middle-school relationships. It’s nostalgic and reflective in a way I enjoyed.
It also involves something private not just
I still find it very surprising, having a boy in my personal space. I still get nervous when he puts his arm around my waist or reaches for my hand. I don't think I know how to date in the 2010s [...] I guess you could call me a late bloomer, but that implies that we're all on some predetermined blooming schedule, that there's a right or a wrong way to be sixteen and in love with a boy.

Note: Some spoilers for the first book in the series.
This book picks up immediately after the first book in the series, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, as if it were just the next chapter. While each of the books in the series “ends,” they aren’t really standalones.
In the first book, we
One of them is Peter Kavinsky, a handsome boy in Lara Jean’s class in junior high. In the first book, Lara Jean and Peter got together as a couple, after some fits and starts. Everyone assumes they are having sex, especially after a video went viral of them together in a hot tub. But they were only kissing, albeit passionately. Lara Jean is not ready for sex, and thinks: “I decide that Peter and I will be the relationship equivalent of a brisket. Slow and low. We will heat up for each other over time.” Whenever she sees someone watching the hot tub video, she wants to scream at them: “We didn’t have sex! We are brisket!”
Meanwhile, Peter keeps hanging out with his former girlfriend Genevieve, telling Lara Jean he needs to comfort her because of a family problem she has that he can’t reveal. Genevieve used to be Lara Jean’s best friend, but no longer is. Since Peter started seeing Lara Jean, her relations with Genevieve are even worse. Lara Jean is hurt and angry about Peter and Genevieve, and feels like Peter isn’t over Genevieve. She tells him she deserves “to be someone’s number one girl.” He claims she is, but she doesn’t believe him, and breaks up with him. She starts seeing another boy who received one of her letters, John Ambrose McClaren.
John likes Lara Jean a lot, but she finds she cannot get over Peter as a boyfriend, or even Genevieve as a friend.
She muses:
“There’s a Korean word my grandma taught me. It’s called jung. It’s the connection between two people that can’t be severed, even when love turns to hate. You still have those old feelings for them; you can’t ever completely shake them loose of you; you will always have tenderness in your heart for them. I think this must be some part of what I feel for Genevieve. Jung is why I can’t hate her. We’re tied. And Jung is why Peter can’t let her go. They’re tied too.”
She even asked Genevieve if they could be friends again, but Genevieve just scornfully told her to grow up. Lara Jean realizes that “People come in and out of your life. For a time they are your world; they are everything. And then one day they’re not. There’s no telling how long you will have them near.”
It’s obvious Lara Jean and Peter need to be honest with one another, and Lara Jean needs to decide between Peter and John.
Evaluation: I am warming up to Lara Jean, even though it’s certainly true, as both Peter and Genevieve told her, that she needs to grow up. But she’s endearing and good-hearted. Her problems are also more “sweet” than “dire,” a nice change from so many contemporary young adult books.

Jenny Han has continued Lara Jean's story in the most adorable and total Lara Jean way possible. At the time of my review, Netflix IS going to make a sequel. It deserves it in my opinion. This saga is just so perfect. I will watch the hell out of it.
Since the story is a little changed from the
Lara Jean and Peter are actually dating in this book, for real this time. It is sweet and fun. However, Lara Jean has a lot of trouble with the fact that Peter still talks to his ex, Gen, all the time. This is a very real situation. I had a similar one when I was 16. The boy is trying to be friends with the ex, but also trying to still be your boyfriend. You want to hate that he isn't 100% only loyal to LJ, but really if he was able to ditch his ex so easily, what kind of person would that make him? Right so, with that in mind, there is VALUE to this book, other than it being a teen love. Also, another love letter recipient and LJ start getting close. LJ is in a confusing time with her boyfriend always being with his ex, and getting this new fresh attention from a new boy. It is a really confusing time for her. Again, this plays out so natural that you can read right through it so fast.
Another aspect of this story other than the total teen triangle is the affect dating has on a family. Yes, you see this in the first book. The first book was Margot relationship and its effect. This is how LJ's relationship/friendships affect their whole family. How it changes interaction with a sibling and even the parent. There are different ways that LJ father changes for a couple of scenes just because of events that have happened, however, her father isn't there too much to really see that impact. It's more about Kitty. Kitty has been attached to both her sisters' boyfriends. I can relate my little sister still remembers and adores my one ex. She knows nothing of the problems we had, but to her, he was just the best.
I love these characters. I love how the story is playing out. I hope with the final book Peter starts acting like he is growing up because I feel like the progression for him is stagnant. We will see. Always and Forever, Lara Jean is next. I'm hoping to enjoy this one as much as the others.

This is such a cute and fun series and now I am on the bandwagon with being excited for the 3rd book to come out later this year.

I do think this was a little slower paced than book 1, but I still loved it. I am still on Team Peter and I am loving the ending of this story. I cannot wait to see what is next for all of the characters (I again loved Kitty in this as well.)

This book felt a bit meeh for me, like it tried to be like the first one but failed.
Yes it was cute and adorable and all, but it felt far more dense, it really lacked substance.
I did like the new character John Ambrose whatever, but at the same time he was kinda annoying.
Because as I was reading I
1- predicting everything about him a gazillion pages ago
2- Felling like he was there just to stand there, like that one vase you have in your house that you don't really understand why the heck you have it. Like, there's literally no difference in having it on your table or nightstand or hallway or nowhere in sight.
The whole thing with him and Lara Jean didn't feel like it could be legit even for one second. Like, I kept reading about him and thinking "yeah okay cool when will we be done with him already?"
BECAUSE IT WAS OBVIOUS HE WASN'T THERE TO STAY. Not that I wanted him to, but at least I wanted to think he might.
Idk this probably makes no sense since I'm writing this at 4:30 am but that John dude was literally put there just to have another love triangle.
Oh and talking about love triangles, we literally just got rid of one to start another one? Seriously? That's like the mother of clichés!
Despite my annoyance with this book, I still enjoyed going through it mainly because of the light and fun atmosphere it had going on.
All in all, if you wanna read this, lower your expectations my dear friend, or else you'd be disappointed.
