Maybe if I had read this book closer to the other two (and when I was younger) I would have enjoyed it. For me, this had nothing to offer as far as plot, and it was just another instance of will Lara Jean and Peter make it or not. I feel like the ending was too comfortable and perfect, and I think it would have shown a lot of growth had they not stayed together and decided to part ways on friendly terms. I also feel like all of Lara Jean’s personal growth came right at the end very conveniently. She has such a childish persona through every book and even when she’s trying to plan the wedding for her dad, she makes it more about what she wants than what her dad wants and what would be comfortable for everyone. All in all, this feels like a filler book rather than the ending to a very popular trilogy. To All the Boys would have benefitted more from being a duology in my opinion.
