(I’m sure there’s a lot of debate on this). The heart wants what the heart wants, even though I don’t think I would have minded so much if it ended the other way. Throughout her development, Lara Jean stayed true to her own beliefs and desires. In the beginning of the series, she started out as a shy, withdrawn young girl who didn’t want to experience real life into a somewhat adventurous girl willing to dive into the crazy parts of it, or at least swim through it as best she could. As the main character, she really came out of her shell as her own and took hold of the story through her growth. She stepped out of her comfort zone and really put herself out there. Love is an innocent thing, something that deserves to be cherished and protected but doesn’t always turn out the way you expected it to, and that’s what I feel like Han was trying to convey. So it’s a nice change of pace having of novel about high school love about more than just physical attraction, because there is so much more, more than most people ever really know. There are many references to sex in regards to a relationship, and God only knows the high schoolers these days are way more scandalous than a decade ago. I appreciate the fact that Han didn’t make love all physical. I just didn’t feel as though it was properly resolved. But then again, maybe that’s what Han was going for with Margot and Josh’s relationship, another example of how a love can end or continue. There were a few appearances, but nothing of substance, which was lame because he played such a huge role in the first one. He just kind of fell off the face of the earth. I’m kind of bummed though that Josh didn’t really come out in this book so much. It was the type of romance that makes your heart flutter just how a “first love” romance should make it.

(It sure did for me.) The pacing was realistic and the events were all believable and I couldn’t help but be drawn in. First and foremost, this duology will ring to a lot of girls who’ve dated. The main thing I love about this, is that some part of this book happened to anyone who’s ever been in love. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of what makes it so amazing.įinished this duology in less than one day because it was ridiculously addicting. In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Times bestseller To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara Jean. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once? When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever. Summary: Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.
