I was very pleasantly surprised by this finale. I gave the previous books 3 stars each, but if I'm being truly honest, I think they are closer to 2.5 stars for me. I just found Lara Jean to be insufferably immature in the first two installments. In this book, she stills has some immature tendencies, but I also see her growth as a character.

There were some plot points that were relatively predictable, in my opinion, but not so much that it made me dislike the book.

I would've liked a little more Peter in this book. Lara Jean thinks about him and talks about him a lot, but he actually doesn't get much time in scenes to grow as a character. I also wish that we'd gotten a little more closure in the subplot involving Peter's father. I understand that in life things aren't always tied up with a pretty little bow, but it almost felt as though this storyline was just forgotten or completely dropped which makes me wonder why it was even there to begin with...just to give Peter some kind of emotional arc? I don't know, but maybe that plays into my wish that Peter had had more to do.

At the end of the day, I felt like this was a very solid ending to a series that I wasn't the biggest fan of. The callbacks to previous books actually made me appreciate them more, and have a fonder outlook on the series as a whole.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite of Han's books so far.
