Synopsis: Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.
She and Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.
When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?

In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Timesbestseller To All the Boys I've Loved Before, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara Jean. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of what makes it so amazing.



Review: Okay so for the most part this book was so good. The writing was just as good as the first one, Lara Jean didn’t change a bit, and the plot was intriguing. I really love how the romance just doesn’t revolve around the main character and her love interest, but that you can see the ripple effects of it throughout the family.



However, my problem is that it felt like Lara Jean didn’t make the right choices and, I would even argue, didn’t really develop well as a character. But I do realize that by my feeling so enraged by a main characters choice in a book, that means the author did something right. She made a relatable character that we either want to love or want to hate.



Verdict: I hate Lara Jean’s choices, but that means this book is very well done.
