P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, book 2)
By Jenny Han
Blurb:
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.
I started reading P.S. I Still Love You a few days after finishing book 1 (To All the Boys I've Loved Before). So we have met all of the main characters before, this book starts off after the argument with Lara-Jean and Peter.
Lara-Jean and her sisters are being forced into wearing a traditional Korean outfit called a Hanbok for New Years by their father. Lara-Jean is still upset and not actually sure what has happened between her and Peter and hasn't been in contact with him. She wrote him a good bye letter thinking that things were ending. But after New Years at their Grandmas she calls in at Peters to deliver the letter but chickens out and just tells him slighly how she feels, but then he notices the letter in her pocket and forces it from her to read.
Throughout the whole book there is quite a complicated relationship drama going on, Lara-Jean and Peter are arguing the majority of the time, and Lara-Jean has started to get more jealous of Genevieve so things are getting more difficult and restraint between her and Peter.
Lara-Jean also starts to get labelled as a slut and finds out who sent the thing to the bloggers account, she tells Peter but he doesn't believe her. But Peter does an investigation on the person and we find out towards the end of the book the result of that investigation.
Peter's relationship with Genevieve is quite annoying because he is supposed to be really in love with Lara-Jean but he always seems to choose Genevieve over her. Which is quite shocking in my opinion because I don't believe that someone should be still friends with their ex especially if they are now in a relationship. But I know people have different opinions, but I just don't think it's right because there's history in that relationship so what is to stop you starting it back up again. This is the main thought I feel is going through Lara-Jean's mind too considering she always bumps into them when Peter has his hands on Genevieve so it does look suspicious from her point of view.
But Lara-Jean is no perfect girl because she has started writing letters to John and hasn't fully disclosed to Peter this information, or told John that she is going out with Peter. So being honest they are nearly as bad as each other accept that Lara hasn't actually touched or met up with John yet when things start blowing up.
Another major thing that happens in the book is that Kitty tries to set her father up on a date and Lara-Jean and Margot make their father a dating page. Which he finds out about and makes them stop.
All this cheating and going on behind the other ones back is quite realistic. So the feelings that you start to feel for Lara-Jean is quite heart breaking, considering this is her first boyfriend and this is the way he is treating her.
The ending of this book isn't so drastic it's quite nice really. It felt quite closed off but it makes you wonder if things are going to stay like that in the third book or are going to experience more drama and chaos.
It's best to read this book after you read the first one to understand why people are a certain way and understand their history with one another. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, cheating, chaos, drama and stuck up people and soppy moments. Just be prepared with some tissues you may require them.
