Lara Jean is back, and she is ready to face all the cute boys, hopeless romanticism, and heartbreak in the world. Okay, maybe not all the heartbreak out there, but she is definitely going to get her fair share. After (unexpectedly) falling for Peter and coming this close to losing it all, Lara Jean is back to writing letters. This one, however, is singing a different tune. She wants Peter back no matter how much work it requires. They had something real, and Lara Jean wants it. That is until– well–she doesn’t anymore. After a surprise visitor appears, Lara Jean is suddenly forced to face some serious problems of the love triangle variety. Not to mention, Genevieve (a.k.a the evil witch) is up to her meddling exploits, and she just may succeed this time. Lara Jean and Peter have undeniable chemistry, and yet, is it really worth risking it all?
I have been waiting for this book for SO LONG! I was fortunate and lucky enough to receive a magnificent ARC of it a whole two weeks before the publication date. EEP! It’s a good thing too, because I’m pretty sure any further waiting would’ve given me an aneurism or something. Yeah, this ARC saved my life.
I’m just going to say it: this book, no matter how you look at, is not of the ruminative, hard-thinking, or mature persuasion. In fact, it is quite literally the exact opposite. It is immature, juvenile, childish, cheesy, hopelessly romantic, and sweetly simple, and I love it all. It makes me feel like I’m ten again, all dreamy-eyed at the idea of a first kiss or a boy holding my hand. This book is the quintessence of summer reading and/or cheesy romance. I can’t get enough of it. I just want to lie on the beach under the sun and read about Peter and Lara Jean all day long.
When I first laid eyes on the first book in the series, it was love at first sight. I mean, come on, the title? To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before? Is that, like, not one of the best titles you’ve ever heard? It is up there with The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks (both of which I love). From the first moment I cracked open the cover, I was hopelessly devoted to Lara Jean’s story, which is why I picked up this copy of P.S I Still Love You at the first available opportunity. Much to my delight, it did not disappoint.
There were times in the book where I was right there alongside Lara Jean. I was so conflicted. Was I still Team Peter or had I converted to Team John? I really had no idea. Peter just has so much chemistry as a character, but John is perfection (maybe too perfect?). Two mesmerizing pieces of male character specimen; how am I supposed to root for one or the other?
Just at the first book did, this highly anticipated sequel of Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before left me wanting MORE! While there is no word on a third book, if Jenny Han chooses to write one, she has a devoted and ready reader available. Every single girl should at least give Jenny Han’s cute, lovey-dovey series a go, and they probably won’t regret it (unless they have an aversion to swoon-worthy romance, which, frankly, I just don’t understand why they would). Oh, and P.S. I love this series and probably always will.
