olivialandryxo 's review for:

4.0

~second read, February 2019~

I’m lowering my rating from 5 stars to 4.5, but I still really enjoyed this novel. It’s so much fun and very emotional, but everything manages to work out perfectly. All of the relationships were great: Lara Jean and Peter, Kitty and Peter, Dr. Covey and Trina, and more. I’m not a huge fan of Margot, but Chris and grown on me. Jamie Fox-Pickle is the star, though. I still want to eat Lara Jean’s cookies, and I appreciated the honesty regarding her college confusion — it makes me glad that I spared myself from that by deciding college isn’t for me. I especially related to the shock of high school graduation, as mine is only a couple of months away. Lastly, I like how quick these books are. I sped through my trilogy reread in four days.

So, Netflix, any news on that second movie?

I read this in 8-9 hours. I'm so happy this book was written, because I really enjoyed it. I had a few problems with Peter, but to be honest I think he and Lara Jean were realistic (even if a bit of communication would've solved many of their problems). For a fluffy book, it had me fairly emotional and completely invested. I loved Lara Jean and her sisters, and her dad, and Trina. I found her indecisiveness about college completely relatable, and in general she was just a great character. I want her to be my friend and eat her cookies. This little review is kind of a mess, but basically I'm trying to say I loved this book, despite the emotions it gave me that I didn't sign up for. I would've liked a bit more of an epilogue, but otherwise I really liked it. Lara Jean, Peter, and co. got the perfect ending. 😊❤️
