Honestly, I loved it in the way I love silly things. Just fun and lighthearted.

I did like the book. It did a good job of portraying very authentic emotions/mindsets that teenagers would have in high school. Just reading it all at 22 years old is what made it 3 stars for me as opposed to anything higher. Especially learning the petty reason Gen despises Lara Jean, I couldn't stand it. However, Lara Jean and Peter's chatacter growth throughout the novel is what made up for my negative opinions. I enjoyed Stormy's character a lot too. If you're looking for a light, easy read, go for this series. It's a nice breath of fresh air and it will take you back to the fluttery feelings you got for crushes when you were younger, reminding you of how more simple everything used to be, which could be a blessing or a curse. I will definitely be finishing the trilogy soon.

Another 3.5 stars for me, and I think I liked this book better than the first one. It's great to watch Lara Jean come into her own and mature, and seeing certain side characters get more fleshed out over the course of this book was appreciated.
I guess what I DIDN'T like about the book was its ending? I guess I just don't know if Jenny Han knew there would be a book #3 when she wrote this, because it feels sort of like "OH SHIT WE HIT THE CLIMAX BUT NOW I'VE GOTTA RESOLVE EVERYTHING IN LIKE, 50 PAGES" -- and that doesn't make sense, given the presence of a 3rd book here and now in 2017.
I didn't exactly agree with Lara Jean's choice in these last 50 pages, but I think that's BECAUSE of how rushed it was. If her internal struggle and decision-making had played out at a more normal pace, I think I would've been on board with the book's ending and it would've felt more... hard-won, or satisfying, or something?
Regardless, it was a fun fast read just like the first book, and I'm waiting for my hold to come in on the third, so props to Jenny Han!

I can't even write a proper review for this, just that it's very well written that I'm so attached to the characters, especially to John Ambrose McClaren. I can very much relate to John Ambrose and I hope Netflix finds a fitting actor for such a great character.
