Lara Jean is the most irritating protagonist we’ve ever read about. I guess, after not enjoying the rest of Jenny Han’s books, it wasn’t a surprise, but part of us wanted this one to be the one to redeem the rest. There’s only so much cutesy, non-consequential writing you can read before it gets sickening.įrom the 2 star rating, you can probably tell, we didn’t like this book. I Love You builds on what I loved about the first book, but it also tells its own story.Series: To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (#1)īefore reading the sequel, I decided to re-read ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’, which, retrospectively, was a mistake. Rothschild are well developed and interesting in their own right. The side plots with Stormy and the nursing home and Kitty being a matchmaker for her dad and their neighbor Ms. Someone, get that girl away from The Sopranos!). The side characters grow and become even more likable than they already were (Kitty had me laughing out loud more than once. This could be because it was intended to be the last book in the series, but I think that wouldn’t be giving the book enough credit. While I loved To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, I think P.S. Even Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was kind of weak in comparison to the rest of the 7 books. Catching Fire was not nearly as compelling as The Hunger Games or Mocking Jay.

I mean (mild spoiler) who shows up for a nursing home USO party in a red convertible Mustang and wearing a full uniform for a girl he wasn’t head over heels with? I was with Ms.
He’s confident and smart and also clearly thinks the world of Lara Jean.
But then there’s John Ambrose McClaren (I can’t help using his full name like Lara Jean. And taking Kitty to school on her birthday and telling her that she’s his “only girl” that day? I understand entirely why Lara Jean was swooning. He’s kind and charismatic, and his love for Lara Jean is so evident, despite the drama with Genevieve going on. Of course, I fell in love with Peter in the first book, but this one just cemented that love. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once? I found myself asking this question throughout the book because I couldn’t help but love both Peter and John Ambrose McClaren.
