4.5 y cómo ha cambiado la historia después del final del primer libro. MADRE MÍA.
Lara Jean se ha abierto por completo, ha abierto su corazón por fin y ha dejado entrar a cierta persona (sí, a esa que todos pensamos).
Conocemos por fin al quinto destinatario de la carta, que entra en escena, y su peculiar conexión con Lara Jean hará dudar al propio lector, pero a mí no me ha hecho dudar. Para mí, no existe triángulo amoroso. Creo que este hecho hace que Peter se dé cuenta de cómo ve Lara Jean la relación que el propio Peter y Gen tienen en la actualidad. Porque Lara Jean no entiende esa amistad que sigue existiendo entre ellos, y que hablen y queden de vez en cuando, o que Peter, de repente en ciertas ocasiones, tenga que hacer cosas con Gen.
También vemos más el pasado, ese famoso pasado que une a los protagonistas. Me ha gustado ver cómo encontrábamos esos nexos de unión, y éramos testigos de esos episodios de la infancia y anécdotas.
A raíz de eso, conviene decir que este libro es más "real". No nos centramos en sí en amor, sino en verlo todo: ver la rutina, lo especial, lo distinto, la familia, etc. (No sé si me explico).
Creo que ha sido un gran acierto abarcar más cosas que no solo fuera la vida amorosa de Lara Jean en este libro y en adelante.

This book is really good like the way how she realized that she was the one that wasn't over gen and Peter wasn't and I like how she turned down John just to be with Peter j just have a question how many times they are going to break up and then say they are dating for real but LJ sounds like she bake really good and i really don't like the idea of her and Josh not being friends anymore like that was really sad to how the barely talked in the book and I like how she let her dad date again and gave it a chance b u t anyways this book was really good

3.5!!
I wasn't as fully engrossed in this one as I was with the first and found the narration to be kind of childish in the beginning, which I know was something that most people said of the first novel, but I didn't see it with the first. Personally, I wish there was a little more of Margot and Mr. Covey in the story and thought that the relationship between Lara Jean and Josh kind of dropping into space was a bummer. Regardless of these minor setbacks, I still completely loved the story and the adventures and emotions we experienced with the charming Lara Jean.
For one, sorry not sorry, but the whole Peter thing was lost on me in this one and again I was rooting for the other possible love interest. There were so many choices that he made and things that he said that made me so aggravated with him! I do appreciate the love story between Peter and Lara Jean, but he would not be my first choice.
For two, I loved that the characters played Assassins in this because I remember playing that game in high school. It was a game unofficially put together every spring by a student, exclusively for upperclassmen and I felt so cool when I knew who was making the list senior year and was able to finally make my way onto it. Seriously a totally fun game that brings out competitiveness that you didn't even know you had, similar to Lara Jean.
I think Lara Jean had great character development from book one into book two and found her to be such a well-written and relatable character. I've been so wrapped up in fantasy novels lately, I'm so glad that I've finally found a recent contemporary character that I won't soon forget. Serious kudos, hats off and applause to you Jenny Han!
A must read for anyone who even remotely enjoyed To All the Boys I've Loved Before!

Okay, I know I'm totally behind the curve with this series and the third book just came out and I'm only now just reviewing the second book. But I got to this series late because I -- for some reason I can't quite comprehend -- was avoiding reading it. This series is my favorite feel good series EVER. I read it and my heart is immediately made up of rainbows and frosting. It's just so great and this book doubled down on the greatness of the first book!
Like I already said, this book was the cutest. I just absolutely adore reading about Lara Jean and her life and family. It all is just so comforting and wonderful. Reading this book was like finding a soft blanket and curling up with a mug of hot chocolate. I especially loved reading about Lara Jean's relationship with Peter. They are just so sweet together. I appreciated how their relationship was built on a foundation of friendship and it was a lot of fun learning more about their previous years as just friends in this story. I will say, though, I got really frustrated with Peter at some points. It felt like he was being unnecessarily mysterious about certain things and, while I respect why he was doing it, I felt like he could have been a little more clear with Lara Jean.
It was also really interesting seeing the other people from Lara Jean's old friend group play a role in this novel. We got to see a lot more of these characters and meet a few new ones and I had so much fun learning about them. There was obviously a bit of drama involved in all of this and I felt like it added the perfect amount of tension to keep my glued to the page!
My favorite part of this book is definitely the relationship Lara Jean has with her family. I loved reading about her and her sisters in this -- I feel like we got an even better sense of how much they cared about each other in this book. Even when things were crazy and everything was tension-filled between them, it was clear they would go to the mat to defend each other.
I loved the way this book ended but I'm still SO EXCITED that the third book has come out (what a wonderful surprise!). It's already sitting on my shelf, begging me to read it. As soon as things begin to settle down with school, I'm going to be jumping right into it.

Interesting to compare this to the movie version; honestly the characters are such separate entities in their different versions (Peter especially, he's a lot more likeable in the films). In this book, I can't understand why anyone would keep liking Peter K. He's your typical douchebag jock who clings on to his ex-girlfriend Gen but then gaslights Lara Jean everytime she brings it up. That's not a good message to the readers. Lara Jean inevitably ends back up with Peter and he 1000% doesn't deserve it by the end. Also Kitty taking Peter's side initially warranted way more outrage and I seriously wanted to throw that little shit down a...okay, it's 2am and i'm clearly going a lil loopy. No, I don't condone throwing minors down any deep crevices, but regardless, Kitty can suck it.
I will say that Lara Jean's anxiety about intimacy and sex as well as liking multiple people at once are all very relatable concepts and I like that the movie also brought these anxieties out too. So I gave this book an extra star for addressing these important issues. Also John Ambrose is pretty great though I may not entirely get this fandom's obsession with him. Maybe Book 3 has him do even lovelier things for Lara Jean? Just please kick that dirtbag PK to the curb (not gonna happen, i know it, but a girl can still hope)

P.S. I Still Love You is the second book in the series following To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. This picks up right after the cliffhanger of book one. Will Peter and Lara Jean end up together? Or will another recipient of one of Lara Jean’s letters steal her heart? For a complete summary, you can go here.
TL;DR: Another prime example of a lackluster sequel.

Like Han's first book in this series, it was a quick and pleasant read. However, I find myself liking the main characters less. And I find myself liking John more than Peter.
Me parece muy buenas las charlas que abre este libro, las formas en que maneja muchos conflictos. Si, obvio hay cosas que resuelve como teen, porque la protagonista lo es, PERO en general tiene una visión muy madura.
Ughh this book is so good. I had a smile plastered on my face the whole time. I teared up. My heart swooned.
I feel like for a conclusion to a duology, I should not feel so unsatisfied. There were many aspects of this book that I loved and they were cute and fun. But there was also the fact that the end was overly rushed and just happened and I do not understand why Lara Jean did what she did in the end.
This duology definitely focuses on family and I really appreciate that aspect of the story. I love the Song sisters and the their dad and the relationships they have with each other. I really wish there had been more Margot in this book even if that wasn't feasible because she is in college.
One final note, I loved how in middle school it was Team Peter and Team John and something similar came into play in this book. It was a nice little touch.
Overall, this was a disappointment for me. I did not appreciate where the story went and while I understand this showcases Lara Jean who is very sheltered and inexperienced, I'm still frustrated. I also feel like the ending was way to rushed. There was a point in the last 15 or so pages where I was convinced we were going to be left with another cliffhanger.
