So ends the guilty pleasure of reading about Lara Jean and her adventures in high school and more importantly, discovering her firsts (milestones) with her boyfriend, Peter.
Having been removed from high school for a decade now, it was nice to read from Lara Jean her hopes and fears, and how our dreams in high school with both relationships and our futures were simple, even when we suffered from tunnel vision. I also appreciated that while Lara Jean is very open about her feelings, she is still in the paradigm of her high school boyfriend possibly being the one she is meant to be with, as she sees life as one filled with that big romance.
Contrary to popular belief, I think the book did a great job with how it pushed Lara Jean to really consider herself, especially in regards to her college decision, while also keeping Peter at the high school boy stage - the comment of Lara Jean calling him a boy for being set in his ways and being so sure of himself and actions, while he is convinced that he is sure and confident in his opinion not changing, is a recurring theme in this iteration - an improvement indeed from the Peter in the first and second book.
Both Peter and Lara Jean make mistakes, and indeed the decision to remain together as they head to college isn’t in itself an ending - maybe as a reader you have them as endgame, or a momentous relationship that Lara Jean and Peter will both fondly remember.
My only issue with the book was the complete gloss over of the Korea trip - but otherwise a quick and easy read that does a good job wrapping up the story of Lara Jean Covey that I think as readers we were initially interested in.

i feel bad for rating this so low but this was simply not for me
There were some parts of the book I'd probably skip if I was re-reading because it was so FRUSTRATING. But the ending was perfect. And there were moments that were so perfect and gave me the good feels.
There was a lot of things that Lara Jean and Peter did that annoyed me in this book. However, I think my high school self would probably have done some of the same things(procrastinating on one thing,by doing a billion other things. Not expressing how I really felt.).
Compared to all the YA books I've read, this series is the closest to my high school mindset(Lara Jean). So this series is a breath of fresh air, even though it's not my story and is still a lot different.
My favorite things about this book, were the friendships(Stormy and Chris), sister relationships, and the new relationships with Trina. It was very organic and sweet. Those moments made me tear up.
I honestly don't think the ending could have tied up any better than it did. It was realistic, but still didn't break my heart. Bahaha.
Now I just need a cook book with all the food mentioned!

Questa trilogia è andata calando già dal secondo libro e questo terzo non è stato proprio il massimo. Mi è piaciuto lo stesso perché almeno ho visto la "fine" di questa storia e ho detto addio a tutti i personaggi, però in tutto il libro sembra che succeda di tutto ma alla fine non succede niente di che.
È stato più lento rispetto agli altri e proprio perché Lara Jean è piena di dubbi e paure sul suo futuro, non sa che fare con il college (scegliere l'amore o scegliere ciò che le piace davvero) e ogni volta arriva una notizia che sembra volerla far allontanare da Peter.
Poi il finale vabbè, identico al secondo praticamente.
Inoltre, avrei voluto conoscere di più Kitty e Margot e, invece, anche in questo libro sono messe da parte e praticamente tutta l'attenzione è UNICAMENTE su Lara Jean.
Sapevo che non sarebbe stato all'altezza del primo ma speravo in qualcosa di meglio.
