P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, #2)

by Jenny Han

[Rowena]

**re-read 7/17/18: I think I enjoyed this book much more than the last time that I read it. I seriously enjoyed seeing Lara Jean and Peter again and even though I was still just as frustrated with Gen and Peter this time around, I was able to appreciate Peter's actions and his caring nature more than before. I adored seeing Peter and Kitty's relationship blossom because those two are my favorite characters and gah, this was such a great story. I honestly cannot wait for the freaking movie to come out already.

This is the follow up book to To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han and it was another cute story.

This story picks up right where the first book ends and it starts with the one thing that Lara Jean is best at. Letters. A letter to Peter. Ahhhh, this book.

I adored it to pieces. Lara Jean is probably one of my favorite YA protagonists of the year. She is so much fun to get to know and her thought processes and just everything that comes out of her mouth makes me laugh and laugh. She’s such a fun character and seeing her fall in love, get mad and learn some life lessons is a whole lot of great. I love reading about her life. Jenny Han handles writing the life of a young Asian protagonist really well. I love that her culture is a part of who she is, how it’s a part of her reactions to the things that happen to her.

This book introduces a new boy in Lara Jean’s life and while I was bummed that this was going to be a love triangle thing, Han told me to calm my ass down and keep reading so I did. I liked the way that the other boy was handled and I love that when all was said and done, Lara Jean knew where her heart belonged.

Peter, freaking Peter. I loved him. I loved how different he was from Lara Jean and even when he was being a complete dumbass, I loved him. The whole thing with Gen made me want to smack the shit out of her and kick Peter in the balls but as with Lara Jean, he knew where his heart belonged and I enjoyed seeing them come together in the end.

This book was a fun story about memorable characters from the first book. I liked that Lara Jean went through some real life problems and handled them like a real person would. I loved that she figured her shit out and fixed the things in her life that needed fixing (including friendships that used to mean the world to her). She was a better and stronger person for all the things she went through in this book and I adored her and Peter together.

This book is filled with cuteness and I definitely recommend this to lovers of Jenny Han’s books but also to fans of contemporary YA romances. This is one of the good ones.

Grade: 4 out of 5
