P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
4.0

P.S. I Still Love You is the second book in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy. It picks up right where the first book left off. Laura Jean and Peter are dating for real and things are going great. Except that he still keeps in touch with Genevieve, his ex-girlfriend. He says it’s because she’s going through a hard time but won’t give Lara Jean any details. Is he telling the truth or is he cheating on her?

To complicate things, one of the other boys she wrote a letter to, John Ambrose McClaren, is back in her life. Does she still have feelings for him? Does he have feelings for her? Will she have to choose between him and Peter?

I liked P.S. I Still Love You just as much as I liked To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. I especially liked how teenage sex is handled. The characters have honest conversations about whether or not to do it and why. It’s clear that the author is advocating for kids to make responsible choices but it doesn’t come off as preachy. It’s authentic and sounds like real thoughts and discussions teenagers would have about it. I mean, teenagers are doing it whether we like it or not. I think it’s weird when characters who have been going out for a really long time haven’t had sex yet or even talked about it.

I’m definitely listening to the third and final book, Always and Forever, Lara Jean, as soon as possible. Then I’ll watch all the movies!
