PS. I Still Love You is the second book of a duology. If you haven’t read the first book, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, I’d suggest you check out my review of that book and pick it up first before moving on to PS. I Still Love You.

Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.
She and Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.
When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?

In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Times bestsellerTo All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara Jean. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of what makes it so amazing.

MY THOUGHTS

I really liked this book. Probably not more than To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, but it was still a highly enjoyable read. It’s a very quick and easy read about love and relationships, not only with a romantic partner but also with family. Essentially, the themes that were explored in the first book were further delved into in this sequel. I liked the way the story played out, though I do wish we could’ve seen more of Lara Jean and Peter together. At times, I was very frustrated with Peter and how he handled things with Lara Jean. But we also got to further see what a good person he is, so I forgave him quite easily.

I also liked Lara Jean’s other love interest (I won’t mention his name and spoil you). I love how Jenny Han is able to create such great male love interests in her books. I was torn between the two boys because I was rooting for Peter and Lara Jean, but the second boy was just… perfect. He was perfect.

We get to see more of Margot in this book because she’s home for the holidays. I liked reading about the relationship between Margot and Lara Jean, and being about to see the way they support each other. Kitty also makes some great appearances in this sequel, and I fell even more in love with her.

I guess my only real complaint about this book was that it was too short and ended too soon. Another hundred pages of Lara Jean would’ve made it even better!
