P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
3.0

I have mixed feelings about this one.
As always, Jenny Han litters her novel with little bits and bobs of information which really aren't too important but somehow make the story feel more tangible. I love the fact that she educates you on Korean culture, things that I'd never even heard of before.
But... the overall plot in this book didn't do it for me. I found myself getting annoyed with Lara Jean frequently, since hardly anything she did makes sense. As for Stormy... well, I'm just going to say that I don't like Stormy one bit, no matter how hard the book tries to put her in a good light. Also, I couldn't quite work out why Lara Jean had 2 guys mooning over her in this story... I just can't remember why she is so likeable?
Other than that, there were definitely well-written parts of the story. Some places I really could relate to LJ, even though most of the time I couldn't.
It's also an incredibly easy to read novel, with a flowing narration of Lara Jean's thoughts guiding you through the story.
So, it's not bad but it's not great either. I will read the next one, just to find out what happens. These books are addictive, that's for sure.
