Synopsis: Lara Jean is having the best senior year.
And there’s still so much to look forward to: a class trip to New York City, prom with her boyfriend Peter, Beach Week after graduation, and her dad’s wedding to Ms. Rothschild. Then she’ll be off to college with Peter, at a school close enough for her to come home and bake chocolate chip cookies on the weekends.
Life couldn’t be more perfect!
At least, that’s what Lara Jean thinks . . . until she gets some unexpected news.
Now the girl who dreads change must rethink all her plans—but when your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?
Review: Oh the final book in a series can be bittersweet, or it can be a relief. Generally, I liked this book. The intimate conversation Lara Jean has with the reader is amazing and the focus on family is great. I loved the character development of Margot and Trina (although it could have been better) and I loved that there was a finality with this book.
However, I did feel like the romance was a bit stretched out and that the overall events of this book could have been solved sooner. I’m also still angry about Lara Jean’s romance choices, but again that’s good character writing.
Verdict: I still don’t like Lara Jean’s romance choices, but she’ll be alright.
