But when one scandal absolutely rocks her world, she will be left with a very tough decision - one that could change everything. People come in and out of your life. This was perfect - SO perfect. I absolutely love Lara Jean - she is unabashedly kiddish Anybody else notice how so many YA heroines are clumsy, whip smart, beautiful but they don't know it, brave and unabashedly brazen?
And then there's Lara Jean - she adores crafting, plans parties at a retirement home and bakes until perfection and so much more. She's a homebody, a gentle soul and completely and utterly adorable. I love how she's grown since the last book and yet still maintains her inner personality and fire.
I want it all, and to have it all, you have to risk it all. There were so many moments that made me want to hug her. Also, as a side note - so many books seem to fall apart after the Big Kiss happens and yet this one kept it going. There was so much happening that I was wholly committed to each and every page. Loved it and cannot wait for the third!

Alrighty, one star then. My initial reaction upon finishing this book was to roll my eyes. To the moon and back.
I am so pissed. This book is just awful. Behold, the summary in bullet form! Alexa, play Toxic by Britney Spears. I don't know why I did that, I just made myself even more irritated than I already am. God, please. Anyway, my point is this: 1. Do not let your partner treat you like some garbage.
Once you find THE bae, never let them go. If you do otherwise, don't come crying to your Mama. Never settle for less. Everyone deserves to be someone else's numero uno. They had a good run, and the feelings were genuine, but Peter still had lingering feelings for Gen. He apologized to Lara Jean. She gets on with her life and focused on more important matters like college and being Kitty's big sister.
But someday, she's willing to open up her heart again. John waits from the distance. Waiting, waiting I speak like a Granny.
I'm only Oh my god. Let me live. View all comments. Though this one is my least favorite in the series, it's still a solid contemporary that I flew through. It's not as lighthearted or optimistic as the first installment, but it focuses on heartbreak and incompatible relationships. It shows the aftermath of a whirlwind romance - the "happily ever after" - which many contemporaries don't.

Aug 24, Maria rated it really liked it. To die out, to wither. This book starts off strong with a very interesting plot that was also used in the movie. The sex tape pool thing.
It was brushed off lightly in the movie, but it showed many repercus 3. It was brushed off lightly in the movie, but it showed many repercussions in the book.
And I don't think it was handled well. The book pretends to be a feminist book but then Lara Jean is scared of being called "a slut" by her school.
And also, we leave the whole situation to the boy A. Peter to handle it. Because he's the boy and he can do anything to protect his girl. Anyway, let's get to the plot. She and Peter were just pretending. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.
I feel like this trilogy could easily be a duology. This book's pace was slow, unlike its predecessor. It was too cozy and domestic and relationshippy without anything important happening for many pages. We also got the Josh factor erased from this book, so it was all Peter and Lara Jean. The Belleview scenes killed me. Not the good killing. The bad one. I honestly wanted to rip my eyes out. Or skip the pages. But I'm too much of a perfectionist to do that. Fuck my life.
Just spare me the details. The Genevieve drama was more apparent in this book. Thank God. Her little schemes saved the book. Peter pissed me off so much in this book. I honestly wanted to scream. We got an explanation at the end of what Gen was going through but come on man? Explain to your girlfriend the dits! Everything could be resolved if they just talked to each other, but no no.
Everything almost got to shit for nothing. And then we get John. His scenes with Lara Jean were adorable. I almost shipped it. I was honestly like "Come on Lara Jean really?
How many more boys am I supposed to ship with you? You're confusing my mind". We get him as a valuable option for her, but then the same happened as with Josh. He disappears. I was so surprised she got with Peter in the end. It's like she kisses John and she feels things and then 10 pages later she's with Peter again and she's in love with him again.
The ending of this book was too quick for me. I savored the tag thingy game in this book. It was fun. And Lara Jean won at the end. With a bad way, but she did. I love it when people who lose at games, and life basically, win at the end. It's so rewarding. To sum it all up, this review is short for my standards. I don't have much to say. This book didn't have much of a plot to go into.
And as I have said before, I read all these books before writing the reviews. My head is so confused right now. I don't remember what happened and in which book it happened in. I'll say again, these books are so easy to read. But they are for 15 year old Maria. And I took an oath to myself to not judge these kinds of books.
If I judged this book as I would want to, I would surpass the Goodreads limit of characters. So, yeah. And till the next one K BYE! View all 8 comments. Jul 11, Emily Books with Emily Fox rated it it was ok. What a pointless book. Ok I'm being extra harsh here but this, folks, is what happens when an author stretches a story for no reason. This should have been a standalone.
Who knows what I would think after reading the last book. I'm not sure I will. View all 20 comments. Dec 28, Emma Giordano rated it really liked it Shelves: audiobooks. Unfortunately, I struggle a bit with this sequel this is typical of me but overall, I enjoyed my time re-entering this story.
For a large part of this book, I was afraid I had fallen out of touch with this story. I read book one when I was 18 and finally decided to continue 3 years later. Many of the tropes I no longer enjoy and critiques I used to skip over due to lack of reading experience unfortunately dragged down the story and I essentially felt as if I had gotten "too old" to e 3.
Many of the tropes I no longer enjoy and critiques I used to skip over due to lack of reading experience unfortunately dragged down the story and I essentially felt as if I had gotten "too old" to enjoy this story in the same way. Luckily, the majority of my issues were resolved by the ending and I was able to end this book feeling more connected to the story.
My favorite thing about this story is the family dynamic. A close-knit family of sisters and dedicated, loving father is not always common in young adult stories that are often full of absent families. They are supportive, caring, dependable, love each other deeply. They do bicker like normal sisters, but their relationship is so inspiring and desirable. Their father is also kind, open-minded, and extremely supportive. The Song-Covey family is absolutely one of my favorite sibling-parent relationships in all of literature.
Unfortunately, my biggest issue with the novel was the attitude of the main love interest. The only way to describe my feelings throughout this book is "uncomfortable" - I was very uncomfortable with Peter's choices and reactions to issues within this sequel. I understand that a lot of the jealousy, deception by omission, and prioritizing the "wrong" people are things that do happen in real life, especially for teens in relationships, but I can't possibly write this review without expressing how much I disagreed with it.
I'm pleased that attempts at resolutions are made in the end, but I do feel some points were skipped over and not fully addressed for the sake of completing the novel more quickly. Another issue I had with this book was the introduction of a second love triangle. I know book one was basically built upon this trope hence, why I feared I had grown out of my capacity to enjoy book two but it felt so unnecessary. The conflict between Lara Jean and Peter was individually complex enough to exist without developing another potential love interest.
It felt as if Peter was being villainized due to the introduction of this character, and this character was glorified to force readers to prefer them over Peter.
I really dislike feeling as if the author is forcing me to feel a certain way or "pick a certain ship" so this aspect really rubbed me the wrong way. Again, I do feel it was resolved in the end, better than my first critique, so I'm not bothered any further. Despite my critiques, I still really enjoyed re-entering this story. A lot of times, the final judge of my enjoyment of a book is how motivated I am to find out what happens in the end and my desire to keep reading.
For the first time ever, I actually had to stop listening to the audiobook because I needed to know what happened albeit, mostly out of frustration. I switched to the physical book and stayed up well past my bed time to complete the story. When I reflect on P. But I will also remember how this book affected me emotionally, more than many books have in the last year, so it still left a positive, lasting impression.
I'm continuing with the series as I write this review and I'm enjoying the conclusion more than book two, so I would still recommend this series as a unique, lovable contemporary romance.

It's called jung. It's the connection between two people that can't be severed, even when love turns to hate.
You still have those old feelings for them; you can't ever completely shake them loose of you; you will always have tenderness in your heart for them. Every time I read a new novel by Han, I am always assaulted by these strong emotions. In a way it reminds me of our quintessential home where "There's a Korean word my grandma taught me. In a way it reminds me of our quintessential home where I grew up. It simply hits me at the right spots.
It makes me reminisce certain childhood memories. That is pure talent. I get nostalgic and pensive. I Still Love You opens right after where the first book left it off. Lara Jean on at the verge of making it up to Peter. A reader could expect, kissing, scandal, intense jealousy, family love, and more kissing.
It is fast paced and very easy to get into the flow of the plot. Though at times, I find myself frustrated, but obviously I got over that nasty feeling. And hey! They are integral part of the story just as much as the protagonist. We have a Korean American main character s. Lara Jean and the Song sisters heritage are essential to the story.
Han explores some of the common Korean culture. The romance is cute just as I was expecting. I love books that stays very true. I Still Love You is a satisfying conclusion. You can listen to my To P. I Still Loved You playlist in 8tracks. See the tracklist in tumblr. Full review also posted at Young Adult Hollywood.

Peter K is so dreamy! Jenny Han does contemporaries like no other. Apr 26, Alice rated it really liked it Shelves: lurve-stories. Admittedly it wasn't as good as the first, but I've said it before but I'll say it again: Jenny Han knows how to make us fall in love with the characters in her books She knows how to expose their flaws along with their positive sides.
Peter K isn't perfect, but his charm just won me over. Gen, I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of, but in P. I Still Love Y Okay. I Still Love You, I got a glimpse of what made her the way she is and then I didn't hate her as much. There are bumps, and there are high points; it's not the unrealistic, lovey-dovey kind of relationship that's perfect all the time, but that is precisely what made me like this book so much.
Torture your readers in this way!!! What is this madness?! I finished your book yesterday in just one sitting and I can't I can't I can't wait a whole year to find out what happens between Peter and Lara Jean and Josh and every other character in that blessedly beloved book that I have fallen in love with.

I thought I only got instantaneously filled with rage when books are offensive or bigoted or what have you, but it t there is no better time than soon after the release of the To All the Boys I've Loved Before movie to remember that movies can be be better than the books they adapt.
Buh dum ch. Get it? Because the main character of this book is in a state of arrested development that rivals all four seasons plus the one currently being filmed of the show Arrested Development?
Spoilers for the last book: Lil Lara Jean, our insanely-named protagonist, got herself into a little kerfuffle involving a series of letters addressed-n-stamped to old crushes, a fake relationship plot, a love triangle with her sister, and a certain lacrosse-playing douchenozzle the likes of which haunts public high school halls from here to Timbuktu.
So here we are. Book two. How could we possibly make that nonstop thrill ride even more exciting??? The answer may surprise you!!!!
The answer is: Make it so much worse. Peter was boring in the last book. He was unremarkable. He was immature. He is the floppy-haired popular boy we all tried to forcibly make deep in high school. That is probably the fundamental difference between first-time-reading-this-me and bitter-tired-reading-again me. I am not in high school anymore. All of that screaming was just about how bad it was last time. Pretty memorable if you ask me! He also spends most of this book gallivanting about with his ex-girlfriend.
So I was almost happy when this one faded into oblivion without any real conclusion. There are two characters in this book who I actually, full-on love.
Excluding one. He is a side of a love triangle. And Jenny Han, if you wanted to grant me the hellishness of actually rooting for a side in a love triangle, rather than just grinning and bearing my way through it, on top of the other emotional turmoil you caused me through this book: John Ambrose McClaren is no Kitty.
I do not like this simile. He is nice. He is kind to Lara Jean. He cares about what she cares about!!! What a shock!!!! Who can even believe it!!!! They even share having really annoyingly long cutesy unrealistic names in common so I can hate talking about them both equally just due to how long they take to type!!! I type weirdly!!! It hurts my wrists!!!! You know. I hate it!! Bottom line: Hopefully this book is so clearly annoying that even my incoherent 3 a.

I'm fourteen, and she acts like my sister not that I have one but if I do, I bet Ms-I-have-no-idea-how-old-she-is would be even more foolish than her 2 Peter is not here half of the time I loved him in the first one, what happened in this? If it's going to be crappy either way, give me a love decagon, hecatontagon or worst a myriagon.

Drews rated it really liked it Shelves: contemporary , read , young-adult. I swear. I don't know how you people like fluffy contemporaries. I spend my time usually reading about knives and monsters, ok, and that makes sense.
Everything goes wrong and you stress out constantly. But with these happy books??? My heart. It caNNot. I procrastinated this one forever because I want my little ship to have a HEA and every time they fight it stresses me out. But I finally read this!! I got brave!! The cooking was. I'm invested and this is terrible. I just really don't like old people homes. I get that it wasn't his business to tell, but I do think it was pretty bad.
But I still felt Lara Jean was emotionally cheating with Peter before they'd broken up. I'm extremely unimpressed with cheating. Such a fun game. I love this series. View all 18 comments. Vojsk rated it really liked it. Attention: This may be spoilerish for the first book! I hated it so much, I DNFd it. And what can I say? It was not as good as the first one, but still entertaining and nice.
And the trouble has a name - the history with Genevieve. And she succeeds in some way. And his name is John Ambrose McClaren and he writes her letters and smiles at her and dresses up for her. But will Lara Jean ever stop loving Peter?
Peter is sweet but also a big asshole. John Ambrose is a wonderful cinnamon roll. And Kitty and her dad are the freakin best. We saw enough of them in the first book. Because I never saw a different option then my handsome baby. But then John Ambrose McClaren appeared out of nowhere. And first I was suspicious: a Love triangle?
But Jenny Han loves to torture us, so she makes him so handsome, wonderful and caring that you fall in love with him. Hell Yeah, of course the feelings if it involves Peter Kavinsky. No one should ever think that there is only one person for them in their lifetime. Her stories are fluffy, sweet but sometimes also sad, confusing and heartbreaking. First read: Interviewer: Welcome, Jessi.
So, the new year started good for you. A lot of four and fives and now a DNF. How do you feel about that? Me: Well, I was really sad about that, because I loved the first book. It was so sweet and fluffy. I will definitely recommend this book to young adult, contemporary lovers. Your Rating:. Your Comment:. Home Downloads Free Downloads P.
