P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
Rating: 10/10
Readability: 10/10
Would Recommend: Yes!
I LOVE THIS SERIES. I really canāt say it enough. I really do love this series. Itās so cute and adorable and Lara Jean is honestly high school goals ā in that sheās actually put together and way more composed than I was at 16.
In this book we see the progression of Lara Jean and Peter go from fake dating, to real dating, to not dating, to actually really dating. You can tell he genuinely really really loves her throughout, but she needs to let go of his past (though sometimes him hanging around Gen is a bit douchey on his part).
I loved how this book touched on family, especially Lara Jeanās mom (who passed when she was younger), we see a much more vulnerable side to her when she really does need her mom. When sheās sitting and talking to her neighbour after the USO party at the retirement home, you can the hole in her life thatās missing. It was a sad moment, and (if you are slightly mushy like me) makes you wonder what your own life would be life without your mom (itās not good, Iād be a mess and wouldnāt know where anything is in my house). It also shows you how special and important the bond with her sisters is.
I also loved how Jenny Han (the author) brought in the John Ambrose character as another love interest. Not that I donāt love Lara Jean and Peter, but Peter needed to learn that he could lose Lara Jean (just saying). He was such a sweetie and treated Lara Jean so well, even when he knew she was going to end up choosing Peter.
Overall, I love and Iām starting the next book as soon as I finish this post!
