Always and Forever, Lara Jean (To All the Boys I've Loved Before)
Now a Netflix original movie starring Lana Condor and Noah Centineo and the inspiration behind the Netflix spin-off series XO, Kitty, now streaming!
Lara Jean’s letter-writing days aren’t over in this follow-up to the bestselling To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and P.S. I Still Love You.
Lara Jean is having the best senior year a girl could ever hope for. She is head over heels in love with her boyfriend, Peter; her dad’s finally getting remarried to their next door neighbor, Ms. Rothschild; and Margot’s coming home for the summer just in time for the wedding.
But change is looming on the horizon. And while Lara Jean is having fun and keeping busy helping plan her father’s wedding, she can’t ignore the big life decisions she has to make. Most pressingly, where she wants to go to college and what that means for her relationship with Peter. She watched her sister Margot go through these growing pains. Now Lara Jean’s the one who’ll be graduating high school and leaving for college and leaving her family—and possibly the boy she loves—behind.
When your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?

So... I'm finally finished this trilogy of which I seem to be the only person in the world who thought it was boring and isn't completely enamored with. It's a shame because personally, Lara-Jean & I have the same style, it just doesn't make up for the fact that the book (and series) is super plain.
While it obviously wasn't intolerable enough for me to give it up entirely, I feel let down by the hype - even from reviewers who are very honest and don't often lead me astray.
I was told that the characters who used to annoy me so much earlier in the series mature a lot - and honestly, I can kind of see that. It just bugged me that there were these little moments that were obviously built up to be these big moments of character development and nothing whatsoever came from them. ...Or maybe I am that condescending that I want even fictional teenagers to "learn their lesson!"

I just finished the final book about Lara Jean and I'm teary-eyed and happy and sad and it brought back so many of my own memories. I read the final two books in about two days. I wish I'd have read all three at the same time. It's been a year since I read the first one, and I'd forgotten so much of it. Jenny Han is great at writing teen characters. I don't think I rolled my eyes once, which is what I'm usually doing when I read young adult. Lara Jean is pure and innocent and I just want to protect her and hug her and hurt anyone who makes her cry. I'm happy with the ending, but just sad that it's over. I hope Netflix makes a final film to go with the final book. And I would love to reread the series again one day.
