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 Times bestseller 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: Better than the first book, but still just a cute contemporary (so by no means amazing). Starting off right where the last book left off, Jenny Han jumps right into the story! This was much more fast-paced than the first book which made it a little more intriguing. Lara Jean's character development also made this story more intriguing as she ever-so-slightly becomes more outgoing and gutsy. The one story element I didn't like was the ending though! It's made childishly clear that the lesson of the story is that people in your life come and go - but I wish the ending focused more on an exciting plot!! Lara Jean didn't end up with who I wanted her to; I mean, it seemed so obvious that the other one was the right choice! C'mon Lara Jean! With all that said, this story continued to develop Lara Jean's cutesy, instagram-esque life which is what most of us love most about this book anyway. It makes you feel warm inside - like gooey cookies, pink ribbons and fluffy pajamas. Just be prepared for lots more baking! I can't say that I was disappointed, I can't say that I was wowed - it's pretty much just what you would expect the sequel to be. But, it's so short that it's totally worth finishing the series.
