P.S. I Still Love You
by Jenny Han
This book picks up immediately after the end of "To all the Boys I've Loved Before".
I found myself getting frustrated with Lara Jean much more in this book than the first. In TATBILB, I gave Lara Jean a pass in a lot of her actions because she was 16 and relatively naive. And in this book, she's still 16/17, but I wasn't as forgiving. Her immaturity got really old. There was almost no emotional growth until the last 20 or so pages of the novel. I had all but decided to give this book 2 stars. But the end where she has some of the realizations she has made me satisfies enough that I bumped it up to 3 stars.
I still didn't like Chris much, although she was a little more fleshed out and sympathetic than she was in the first book.
Peter was fine for me. I actually felt kind of bad for him, because Lara Jean is so afraid of everything that he can't even give her a kiss in public without her flipping out on him. Not to mention the fact that all throughout the book he is trying to spend time with her or get her to show interest in the things he likes and she keeps blowing him off. It really seemed like he was trying very hard to be a good boyfriend to her and still be a good friend to Genevieve, which threw Lara Jean into a tizzy fit. I do understand to some extent. She doesn't trust Genevieve and knows that Genevieve can be extremely manipulative, not to mention a flat-out liar. But her actions demonstrate how little she trusted Peter as well. I actually kept thinking how Peter could do better that Lara Jean.
I liked John, for the most part. My only criticism is that his character didn't quite feel fleshed out. No one is perfect, but he's pretty idealized by Lara Jean. She refers to her dilemma of Peter or John as: the reality of Peter vs. the dream of John. He didn't have any discernible flaws, which just isn't realistic.
This book was a quick read. I listened to the first third as an audio book and didn't get to the last two-thirds for a couple weeks later, but I managed to get through the last part in a couple hours.
I will read the final installment of the series, if only to see who she finally ends up with and if she matures at all.
