#BookTalk- P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han


P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

I was pleasantly surprised.  I meet Jenny Han two times before I decided to read one of her books. First, it was at Author's Unlimited, when I was still in high school, and second, this year at BookCon. I am not a contemporary fiction reader typically; I need a little something more in my books. So when I jumped into reading P.S. I Still Love You, I was swooning over the love fest that was happening between its pages. This is the second book, the first one is To All the Boys I Loved Before. I didn't read the first one, but you don't really need to in order to understand what is happening in this book (but you should definitely read the first one!!).

First Line: Kitty's been a little complainer all morning, and I suspect both Margot and Daddy are suffering from New Year's Eve hangovers.

This book takes off where the first one left off. Lara Jean is now walking to Peter's house, and she is armed with another letter.  This is the story of what happens after you get the guy. Falling in love is different than staying in love.

Characters

Lara Jean. I love that she bakes! It makes me so hungry when reading this. She is also so smart, courageous, and very creative. I really like her character, truly. Sometimes I like the main character by default because they are the main character, but I genuinely loved reading Lara Jean's POV. She is a swell chick.

Peter. He tries and it is cute. He really cares about Lara Jean. He isn't perfect, but he is human. He loves Lara Jean for all her quirks and it is ugh so adorable.

John. First I thought he would be trouble, but he is just so sweet. He sees everything about Lara Jean. He is truly the perfect human being.

All in All

Coming from someone who didn't read the first one, this was a very great book. I was never confused, and everything just flowed. It definitely made my train rides shorter, as I learned more about Lara Jean, her family, love life and crafting skills. It was a nice, cute book, that gives you all the warm fuzzys. I really enjoyed reading this cute love story. It didn't only show the happy but the sad, and I appreciated that.
