Now that I’ve completed the second book in this series, I will say that there is something about this series that draws you in. I got through this book so quickly, and am already anticipating starting the final one. I love the storyline as a whole, and the characters are all so interesting and loveable! Jenny Han knows how to work the emotions! On the flip side, however, I just couldn’t get behind some of the plot points of this book. Lara Jean was too caught up in Peter and Gen throughout the duration to substantially grow and consider other options. Also, I think Peter really needs to examine his actions and put himself in LJ’s shoes, to see why things he did bothered her so much. I LOVED John Ambrose McClaren’s character, and wish that his present plot with LJ was lengthened a bit. I feel that he was too quickly brushed off and the “resolution” came a little too quickly.

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.
