Always and Forever, Lara Jean
by Jenny Han
Always and Forever, Lara Jean took me forever to read. My non-blogger life was a large part of the delay, with personal and work issues that came first, but part of the reason was, Always and Forever, Lara Jean felt like a really really long epilogue.
This trilogy isn’t really large on plot, if I’m being honest. It’s definitely ‘coming of age’, and more about Lara Jean as a person. It’s all character driven. However, it felt like Always and Forever, Lara Jean was even more plotless than the first two. I know it was about preparing for college, and making that giant leap forward, but I think that we could have done without, especially because now with the third book I feel like I have less closure.
That’s not to say I hated the book. I don’t think I could have hated any book in this series. They’re just so light and happy. Sweet. There were many moments that made me swoon. You can’t help it with Lara Jean and Peter, they’re just dang adorable. I did appreciate the honest depiction of how going away to college can make you feel, about leaving family, and about wondering how you can make it work with that special guy.
Overall, I did enjoy Always and Forever, Lara Jean enough to give the finale 4 stars. I guess I just feel like the story would have been better served as a duology.
