⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 stars

I was slow to get into it, but I got there eventually. It was very different from what I expected, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of the drama I really wanted to see wasn’t until the end but it’s a trilogy, so... she gotta rope you in for the next one.

I wonder how I would have felt reading this book if I didn’t already know there were more books to come. We spend a lot of time with Lara Jean and Peter and it felt weird to me because I kept thinking, ‘well, isn’t Josh the guy?’ I feel like Josh is barely in this book and while I like him from what I saw, this doesn’t feel like the beginning of their epic love story.

But, truthfully, a lot of that is what I am bringing in from how the movies have been promoted and I know that isn’t fair.

I am enjoying it for what it is. I have a strong feeling I am going to enjoy the movie more. I just think this kind of story will work better for me in a 2 hr film.

I’m still learning about my taste... I’m not sure YA contemporaries are for me.

EDIT: holy shit, I read this whole book thinking Noah Centieno played Josh when actually he’s Peter. This makes way more sense... I feel like an idiot.
