My Review:
Lara Jean is back, and her love life is filled with drama
once again. P. S. I Still Love You
follows on a little while after the events of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Her relationship with Peter
Kavinsky is in jeopardy and she desperately wants to fix things.
The first book in this series was super fun and this second
installment is just as entertaining. It perfectly captures the drama-filled
lives of teenagers in love. It’s complicated, things don’t run smoothly, and
heartbreak is bound to happen along the way. It paints a perfect picture of
what relationships are like during high school.
Lara Jean is a perfectly relatable character. I like that
she is still a little naïve and clumsy when it comes to dealing with her love
life. It makes her even more endearing. Her and Peter’s relationship can be all over the place at times, but it’s touching to see them bond during
their genuinely heartfelt moments.
During this story, their relationship is tested more than
they expected. Along with Peter’s ex-girlfriend, Genevieve, there is the extra complication
of John Ambrose McLaren. He is part of Lara Jean’s childhood, and she believes
that the feelings she once had for him are in the past, but as always, things
aren’t that simple. When he arrives back in her life, there is an added strain
between her and Peter.
I enjoyed John being added to the story. It definitely
brought an uncertain edge to things, and it was interesting to watch Lara Jean
question her feelings for him. I felt like we got to learn a lot about him and
his past throughout the story, which I really enjoyed. Knowing more about him
made me root for him.
What I adored about this story was the scenes that took
place in the nursing home. Stormy was a delightful character and I much enjoyed
her chats with Lara Jean. She had a wickedly entertaining life to talk about,
and I loved getting to know her just as much as Lara Jean did.
As with the first book, family is an important part of the
story. I love Lara Jean’s relationship with her sisters and her father. Kitty is
so wonderfully sassy. I adore all of her scenes and I love how she is sometimes
the character that speaks the most sense, even though she’s the youngest.
I loved returning to Lara Jean’s world and seeing more
dramas unfold. The story is packed with touching scenes between characters and
plenty of fun filled moments. I can’t wait to see where Lara Jean’s journey
takes her next, and what decisions she’ll make.
