emilybutynski 's review for:

Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han

4.0

---

Okay. I loved this. I loved it so much. I cried throughout the last 75 pages. I’m so glad love won. Lara Jean‘a story in the first two books was somewhere between okay and good. But this book really got to me. The growing up, moving onward and upward but keeping important things, and especially people, close to your heart. There may not be a message, a moral, but what I’m taking away from this book, and Lara Jean’s story, is that loved ones matter most. Do the things you want for you. Chase your dreams, don’t be held back, love fiercely. Always come back to those you love. Always come home.
