Today I'm going to be reviewing and discussing P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han!
This is the sequel to To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. I reviewed the first book and I really enjoyed it, so I was so excited to jump into this one.
Goodreads Summary:
My Rating: 5/5 Stars
My review:
First I'd like to say that the covers are GORGEOUS. The colors are my absolute favorites.
Next....This books was just as good as the first! I didn't find that this did not suffer from second book syndrome, as so many second books do.
In this book, we see the same characters: Lara Jean, Peter, (older sister), Kitty, Genevieve, and (boy next door's name), and the girl's father. We also see a little more of the girls across the street neighbor in this installment.
I really enjoyed seeing the relationships from the first book wax and wane.
There are still a couple of things that I hope Han will change in third and final book. For one, I really hope that Lara Jean matures in the next one. She was just as immature in this one as she was in the first. Now I can't say that this drove me coo-coo crazy, but it did annoy me at times.
I also hope that Han gives the girls' father a bit more of a parental role. A real life parental role. He was definitely more present in this book than he was in the first, but it could still be improved.
Neither of these things made me dislike this book in the least! I loved it! And if you loved the first one, you'll love this one too!
HERE COME THE SPOILERS!!!!
Spoiler-y Discussion:
So...I usually get into detail on what I think of each character.
I'm not doing that this time. We have the same characters as we had in book one. This story picks up within a few days of the last book and there aren't really changes in our characters.
We are introduced to one new character, John, and he's really great. The opposite of what we see in our other male characters. He's mature in a way that Peter and Josh are not.
When he was introduced, I wasn't sure how I felt. I was dead set on Peter being with Lara Jean. I was torn for a period of time because of John.

I did decide that Peter was still the one for Lara Jean. Definitely.
I also kinda want to mention evil heifer. (Y'all know who I'm talkin about.) Her dad is an ass. He is such. an. ass. I mean what decent cheats on his wife with a girl his daughter's age.... Hmmmm?? WHO?????!!
I 100% get that Peter wanted to be there for her during this since she is his friend. But he should have told Lara Jean what was going on without REALLY telling her. It would have saved them both a ton of heartache.
The end of this book was awesome. I'm beyond pleased with the way the relationships turned out. If Peter had not ended up with Lara Jean I would have died. DIED.
I can't wait to read the last one!
I apologize for the shortness of this post. I just didn't have a ton to say that I didn't say in the discussion for the first one.
Here is the entire series, in the correct order.
