Lara Jean and Peter's relationship is just getting started when a boy from her past, and receiver of one of her letters, walks back into her life. To complicate matters even more, Peter is still close with his ex-girlfriend Genevieve who's dealing with her own personal problems. Lara Jean is about to find out that falling in love is the easy part.
💭 T H O U G H T S
P.S. I Still Love You is book two in the widely popular To All the Boys I've Loved Before series. Lara Jean continues to be authentic and relatable and the Song family dynamic is well written and developed. One of the things I appreciate about this series is the relationship between the sisters. In this installment, Lara Jean forms a relationship with an elderly woman named Stormy, and their relationship is so honest and endearing.
Overall, a feel-good story filled with typical teen romance, some conflict and a lot of drama. In other words, a typical YA romance. There's nothing overly original and I definitely didn't enjoy this it as much as the first. It falls victim to the sequel curse, and in all honesty To All the Boys I've Loved Before would have been better left as a standalone.
I've learned YA and I have a complicated relationship.
Yes, I'll likely finish the trilogy at some point this year, but it's not a priority.

I’m going to keep reading this series and it’s good, but I’m so mad.
Also the movies are absolutely nothing like the books.
No because I’m really pissed. Bad things happening to people doesn’t excuse their behavior. Like yea, Gen was going through it, but her posting that video to the INTERNET where it stays FOREVER was so disgusting and disrespectful and frankly, unforgivable. I know you have some heavy stuff going on in your family but come on. You can’t use that as a defense or justification for your actions because it’s not. And how Peter continued to be there for Gen, knowing that she did that to LJ just really is not okay. His relationship with Gen is not healthy. He feels like he needs to save her, because she has no one else to talk to or care about her. Maybe if she was a better person then she wouldn’t have that problem. LJ is learning to forgive them, and justify their actions but I’m not having it. Her trying to say it’s her fault, and that SHES the one who needed to get over Gen? Absolutely not. Peter shows over and over again that Gen is his first choice and I don’t care what he says, that’s how it is. His actions speak louder than words, and I cannot stand that she is choosing him. And he never really apologizes, he just says he tired of fighting and they magically get back together like everything is fine, but it’s not. He is selfish, secretive, possessive, disrespectful, obnoxious, and frankly extremely irritating. You say you love her but you absolutely do not show it. I would’ve chosen John Ambrose 1000 times over.
Also the movies are absolutely nothing like the books.

Again, this was cute and I enjoyed most of the romance in this one too. I loved John Ambrose and I found Peter K not great in this one. And the ending!!! I didn't love how it all played out
