P.S. I Still Love You - Jenny Han (To All The Boys I've Loved Before #2)

Published Date: May 26, 2015
Genre: Romance
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 Timesbestseller 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.

It's the month of love, love, loveeeeeeeee. Yeah. I am a total sap and I just love love. Watching it fill the air around me is beautiful. Makes me long for something special like that.

What really amazed me about this book was that I was able to read it within a day. I kind of fell in love with Lara Jean and Peter. 

When I read the synopsis of the first book of the series, I thought that Peter was going to be the super cool, dumb, overly popular jock that couldn't care more about anyone else than himself. But then Lara Jean comes into the picture and she really didn't expect to fall for Peter. It was supposed be pretend.

You know those moments in our childhood when you play imaginary things i.e. house, family, friends, monsters, lava, dinosaurs. Well, feelings are supposed to be unattached. 

When another boy from her past with another letter comes back into her life... Maybe things were unfinished with him. More secrets are revealed throughout the book. I had plenty of those moments where you had to just close the book and soak in the words that the author gave you.

The rating is a beautiful 4.3 out of 5 stars. I really do hope that Jenny Han brings back some more Lara Jean and Peter for us. Even the second boy her life too.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before - Jenny Han (To All the Boys I've Loved Before #1)

Published Date: April 15, 2014
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.

My god... This book. It was the feels. It hit me right in the heart and it really made me want to write down feelings that I never got to when it came to crushes. Lara Jean really knows how to get to the heart of boys. Whether if they were when she was a kid to now, her heart completely belonged to those boys at the time. 

Now that only one boy has stuck by her side since she crushed on him, she absolutely became enamored with him. Her stomach is a butterfly garden. Her heart a pounding drum.

But.

All of that is ripped away when her sister brings home that boy. Smile and don't cry. Stiffen that upper lip.  I truly felt heartbroken because of the fact she deserved him. Though both didn't know it at the time, they did deserve each other.

However, as time passed. He became more of an older brother figure to her. She said her goodbyes. The way she says goodbyes are through letters. She stashes them away so that there will be no evidence of it. Only in her heart and mind. 

But someone knew about them and now, her secrets are out. Secrets that were never meant to be out.

Needless to say, I fell in love with the story. I read it within a day but I was sad to finish it. It truly was a beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes. 

Dear The Boy I Loved Before and Fell in Love with All Over Again...

God. Breath-taking romance and I loved every moment of it. This is a story that I can rate a good 4.6 out of 5 stars. Jenny Han knew how to blow me away with her first book.
