Honestly I feel a little guilty for wanting Lara Jean to be with John because I knew that there was no way they could get together because Peter's the main guy. But John Ambrose McClaren, man. He's unbelievably perfect and so charming. Then again, my heart hurt a lot at the cake walk scene.
I'm definitely rooting for John! Come on he's literally every girl could dream of. And his cute things like the spin the bottle thing and how he was looking at her the whole time, the roses and sticks thing for 8th grade formal, the snow globe. And the best part ever the 40's party
Im definately team Peter. John is okay, but i feel like we don't really know John very well. I know Lara Jean does or at least she makes it out like she does, but Peter has flaws, but so does Lara Jean and they can see past each other's flaws and love each other. I also think it was good how sweet Peter was to Genevieve. I know he's not supposed to be there for her anymore, but the fact that he was shows some great character. Peter is just perfect with her
I like John Ambrose McClaren so much! I wish Jenny Han writes an entire book about him. As for Peter and Lara Jean, I badly want to read more about their relationship. It's still flawed and immature. It'll be nice to see how their relationship will grow. And I am so freakin curious about their dad and their neighbor's date! XD
Loved loved loved this book team Peter all the way when he gave kitty that ride I was like awww and the scene with the Carmel cake hahaha too much! I loved this! Amazing book talk!
I loved Peter and John, but I gotta admit I really wanted John and Lara Jean to date! I was rooting for him! And ALSO CHRISTINE I cannot believe you didn't mention the Assassins game they played! That was my favourite part of the whole book!
Peter throughout the book is charming but he is very selfish and often forgets Laura Jean's birthday and special things. John Ambrose on the other hand, is a gentleman. And he remembers things and is thoughtful. He treats her well, not young kid beneath him. He also is kind. And he's matured and grown as a person. Laura Jean doesn't see how badly Peter has put her and made her expect to be unhappy and let down.
He didn't forget her birthday. In the book, he got her the heart necklace that he took from her back. He wanted Lara Jean back and he straight up said it.
I want a third book in this series sooooo bad, I need it in my life and I want the conflict to be about her becomes friends with gen again and the whole love story line thing through the third could be about the girls getting their dad together with the neighbor or Chris starting to fall in love with someone and its a bit rocky cause she's always been a very "tough girl" so Lara Jean had to help her through it, that way Lara Jean and Peter can be happy and good through the third book
YASSSSS! The third book could be titled some sort of address, to go with the letters theme, or something like "Love, Lara Jean" or another kind of closing. And Lara Jean HAS to bake John another peanut butter chocolate cake with "JOHNNY" spelled out in Reese's pieces. She absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt HAS to. And there definitely needs to be more adorable moments with Peter. Also, Chris gets into some sort of long-term relationship with a boy and Genevieve and Lara Jean truce and can tolerate each other again and Gen gets over Peter and gets a boyfriend and Peter and Lara Jean come up with cute nicknames for each other! I think the third book should have confliction though. Maybe something that pulls Gen and Chris and Lara Jean together. Wait... So when Lara Jean saw Gen and Peter in the driveway, why was Gen so sad? What had his father done? Had she seen him and Anna Hicks having sex or some kind of intimate moment? Had Gen's dad been sexually harassed by her dad? Beat up by him? Was he drunk? I want to find that out in the third book.
Team John Ambrose all the way. I mean that name is just dreamy by itself but I was really hoping Lara Jean ended up with him. They had such a great chemistry together. I sure am hoping Jenny writes a third book so John Ambrose and Lara Jean get a chance together
I LOVE John Ambrose McClaren!! Peter just bothered me in how he couldn't simply talk to Lara Jean and by not being able to communicate, he seemed suspicious all throughout the book
I was always team Josh when reading the 1st book. I wish we saw more of him in this one. I love how the book started and then ended with Peter. I wish Gen forgave her. You have to read the summer I turned pretty trilogy. They are my absolute favorite books in the entire world. Very cute and feel good just like these two are. I continue to love watching your videos
Team John! That party scene and the snow scene totally stole my heart. I was super frustrated with the ending because it wrapped up so quickly and I felt there are still so many loose ends. Like I want to know what happens with Margot, Kitty, and her dad. And I was frustrated with Peter the whole book and I felt like things were resolved too easily between them. And I didn't like how she kinda blamed herself for having and issue with Gen because it's a two way street and Peter messed up time and time again. Overall, I just want a third book!
I also really likes the way jenny had written lara jean's thoughts. Like at some parts i found myself laughing sooo hard at them and my mom was looking at me like i was bonkers .... I loved both books so much
Agree! Lara Jean is hilarious. Two of the funniest parts were when Lara Jean said Kitty might have a bit of her in herself, then Kitty goes all bloody-pancake style and Lara Jean recoils and says "No, Kitty is all herself." Also, I laughed so hard when she said "Of course I make a cake and eat it too, then what's the purpose of baking a cake?"
I love love LOVED this book! I liked Margot so much more in this book and Kitty was so hilarious! I definitely preferred Peter. John was so sweet and I did get some feels in his moments with Lara Jean but I don't think anyone could stop me from shipping Lara Jean with Peter. I know he's only 16 but Peter is up there with all of my favourite fictional boys. The only thing that sucked was that he knew it was Gen who made the videos but he didn't say anything. I also had hope that Lara Jean and Gen would resolve everything, even if they didn't become best friends again but I wasn't surprised when it didn't happen. I really wish that I could read more from this world but it also ended perfectly and I'm having so many withdrawals even though it's been over a week since I read it. Jenny Han is definitely one of my favourite authors!
I absolutely loved this book, I started it last night and finished it earlier today. im in love. peter is my favourite, while I still love john I prefer peter so much more for lara jean,there's just something about the 2 that I love together. I do like lara jean and john as friends though. I loved the scenes where lara jean and peter were just chilling and studying cuz it was so simple and cute, I also loved the scene where he snuck into her house at night and stayed for like 15 minutes and they were just cuddling in her bed. and omgg the birthday scene where lara jean is with john at his car and peter comes up and gives her her necklace back and was all like "so when I do get u back..blah blahh blah" (I don't remember what he said exactly) I was just like U GO PETER U GO! I just love them so hard. jenny han can do no wrong in my opinion, everything she does is perfect and shes so sweet and adorable and so are her books.
Brittany & Books and I definitely need another book! I know she said that she is done and that its just a duology but like I need another book or a novella or a short story or something!!! some extra scenes just something, I need more lara jean and peter and all I want to do is just sit down and read these books on repeat because that is how perfect they are.
Wow this is so perfectly timed! I just finished the book and I go on RUclips and your booktalk is up yay! You were the one that convinced me to read this from the to all the boys I've loved before booktalk and I'm so happy I did because it's one of my all time favorite books
I am Team Peter all the way. Just the way he tries so hard to please Lara Jean and bring the hot tub scandal to an end and how much he cares about . . . It's all so endearing.
I hope we get to read more about John in the third book. He's more like a serious long term boyfriend material and Peter's the first boyfriend material 😍😍😍
I can't pick a guy, I love Peter but I also love John. It's conflicting me! This is easily in top 5 favorite books/ book series. I always want to read it because it is really a feel good book!
I'D CHOOSE PETER OVER JOHN ANYDAY IN A HEARTBEAT but it honestly bothers me sooo much how he always comforts gen?? like i do understand how gen needs him and all but i just don't feel comfortable how somehow i feel like he cares a lot more about gen than about lara jean .. i feel like lara jean deserves more than peter, she deserves someone like john but i'm super whipped for peter it actually drives me INSANE i don't want her and peter to ever break up BUT AT THE SAME TIME LARA JEAN DESERVES BETTER yall feel me and i also miss josh and margot i feel like they're so absent in this book it makes me feel :(
the best. book. ever. just finished it this morning. less than 12 hours of reading it. oh my. fav part? the treehouse scene between Peter and LJ talking about doing the deed or when Peter came and stayed in LJ's room (but only for 15 minutes lol) or when LJ and John Ambrose McClaren have their little snowball fight. this book bloomed in my heart like a gardenia. and it's not dying yet.
I didn't like this book as much as the first but it was still a cute read that I really enjoyed. I really liked John's character and I was frustrated with Peter's character several times throughout this book... But it's Peter and he and Lara Jean have gone through a lot. Reading all of the baking scenes in this book made me want to go bake something, haha.
John is just a dream ..but I prefer Peter .. Peter and Lara has the chemistry, the history. John and Lara just has some few moments .. PETER ALL THE WAY .. I loved the ending though, in the treehouse .. So cute I almost cried !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
MY EXACT THOUGHTS! Im really clear that im on #TeamJohn though, im glad Jenny made the ending a little open to the possibility. Peter is amazing but John is perfection!
I'm still #TeamPeter ! This was such a great book and perfect closure! I loved the social media aspect of this & I still HATE Gen. Stormy was my favorite character this time around though!
Oh Christine you made me cry remembering those moments.This was such a lovely book.And I can't decide who I like more Peter or John I kinda like them both
You by far are one of my most favorite people to watch on here that talks about books. I share some of the same emotions and since none of my friends read like none I usually can look you up and there is a book talk for the books I love. And I'm more Peter than John.....there's just something about Peter that's like he's the one for Lara....and hopefully Jenny Han can make a third book out of what she has left for us to ponder over.
OMG I really hope Jenny Han writes another book/series from Kitty's perspective when she is older! That would be so fun to read and it would be interesting to see Lara Jean and Margot when they're older. I also LOVED The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy!!! It was definitely one of my favorites. I've heard that Lionsgate is planning on turning it into a tv series? But I would definitely like to see them turn it into a movie series instead.
I loved this book so much. It feels like a book I read when I was 14 and it brought me back to the Sarah Dessen types of novels. I love how this book ended, but I also wouldn't mind another book! JENNY HANS WRITING IS JUST THAT GOOD :)
Jenny Han is the best at solving love triangles, she makes the characters end up with the right people but the third person doesn't hate them and they're all cool * thinks about the summer I turned pretty 😍😍😍 *
i feel as if there, NEEDS to be a third book. Theres this point in the book with Johnny, where he's driving her home from school oh her bday (after peter tries to give the necklace back) and j says it just wasn't their time yet BUT maybe one day it will be! maybe the third book should have a time jump, her college years perhaps?
Honestly, I'm pulling for John in this. I feel like there was too much on and off with Lara Jean and Peter, and especially with Genevieve in the picture. This book was absolutely adorable!
Im rooting for Peter Kavinsky til the endddd! I know he wasn't as perfect as Johnny but he really tries hard. Full effort to everything just to make Lara Jean safe unharmed.
Kitty was my all time favorite character of this book. She just had so much sass, spunk,and wit about her. Also talk about josh's new girlfriend :0. All in all this book was amazing, I absolutely loved it.
The ending was bittersweet for me because I wish things were patched up between Gen and Lara Jean, but not everything can end like a fairy tale. I also feel bad for John because I loved him and smiled at every scene he was in, but I love Peter too and him and Lara Jean need a real chance to be together. Ugh I love these books so much! They make me feel all the feels! ❤️
I'm watching this when Always And Forever, Lara Jean is out and I'm around 80 pages into it and I definitely didn't love the start as much as Ps. I Still Love You but from where I'm up to now it's getting so much better!!!!!
You guys keep saying you want Gen & Lara Jean to become friends, whyyyyy??? She's soooo petty and she kept spreading that video of Lara jean & Peter! I'm happy they never made up Gen is the biggest Wit
I think the third book will somehow be yellow. Because Margot is Blue(P.S. I Still Love You color) Lara Jean is Pink(To All The Boys I've Loved Before color) and Kitty is Yellow. That's logical, right?
To All The Boys I've Loved Before/ Ps I Still Love You 0. Lara Jean's letter to peter doesn't start with ps I still love you-- yes that's the intent but that heading is quite literally her letter to Josh. Which is why I think I have such a hard time with the second one 0. John Ambrose McClaren is the right choice. But I suppose he isn't the correct choice- mom always references the first season of the bachelorette where Trisha picks who she picks- Ryan I believe because, "he needs her and the other one could live without her" -- which makes me think of Amal and George Clooney, he went his whole life without marrying and then he met Amal and he couldn't live without her and I always thought- still do in the way of Amal that she could live without him but he made her life better. 0. I think I have mixed feelings about Margot cause I like to think I'm a mix of LJ and GoGo but I think I'm probably more Margot. 0. I think we've all lost friends before but I don't think that I've ever hated an ex best friend. Not the way that Genevieve hates Lara jean. 0. I've read it again, and I still feel unsatisfied with the Josh ending. 0. I suppose that -- Josh and john and Lara jean would have better endings but I guess they aren't over. John said someday and Josh lives next door with the hope of coming back when Margot gives the all clear- but why don't we go back to the letter? Lara jean says she's not over him and keeps the letter in her diary to finish- but then later in the book when she is done- she never returns. Even if just to rip it up knowing letters do more harm than good. 0. Lara jean's letter to john Ambrose McClaren is just so different than her letter to peter's. the feelings she has for them are just so different. I'm not sure why this is difficult for me. Hopefully there will be some closure in the third. Like can john and her still be friends? Is that possible- she was able to move on from Josh.
UNPOPULAR OPINIONS: i wish she wrote a third book, in which lara jean and john are together. he said it wasn't their time yet (but maybe one day), so maybe her relationship with peter gives her more to learn about relationships. peter was so mean sometimes during the novel and it was never really explained or resolved. yes, he gives her the necklace back, but ultimately kind of ruins john's and lara jean's moment. i want peter and gen back together, i know people might not like that, but he did kind of admit that gen's his number one girl, after all the break ups and all that. they support each other, and i want to see their relationship, one that's not with tinted glasses- one that really shows that gen doesn't have peter on a string but that it's much more than that. i wish that peter and lara jean break up on good terms, like maybe because their personalities clashed and because they overall didn't have very good communicaton. then i want lara jean and gen to make up! there were so many things not resolved by the end of the novel, aghhhhh. jenny han, please write a third book or maybe a novella!
+back then I love that I'm not the only one who feels some type of way towards peter. Like yea he had his moments but he was a dick, and when that video surfaced he knew Genevieve did it and covered for her knowing how Lara Jean felt about it and wanted to know who did it. John is amazing and i need a little more of him, Lara Jean can do better than peter.
+Jaeda Hyde i do understand where you're coming from but i feel like John is way too perfect. They would be the ultimate couple but i think Han wanted to portray a flawed relationship which is why it was possible a duology rather than a standalone(?) Just a thought :-)
Maria Zhong but a flawed relationship shouldn't be having someone else as his number one girl. in the first novel, it still was flawed, but i enjoyed it. however, in the second novel, i feel like it didn't address many problems that could have been resolved easily with a few words. instead, it added to the conflict. i don't know how their relationship will survive later on in the fictional book world.
back then i think you both make great points but now i can get my words across without sounding like an ass (Which explains my earlier reply -Sorry this is going to be a little long-). I feel like Han wanted to let the reader make their own ending out of Peter, Lara Jean And Johns love triangle. I feel like even if Lara Jean ended up with John things still and always would have ended up unresolved between her and Peter. Which means we wouldn't have found out about Genevieve and her fathers affair (Which i think was B.S for Peter to use as an excuse to always stay by her -Gen- side). Yes, even in flawed relationships trust is a factor its just a matter if you trust the person their with (reasons on why Lara Jean acted the way she did with Genevieve). And we wouldn't have gotten the "It isn't our Time yet" from John. If she left the relationship off with John, I feel like Lara Jean would spend a lot of the beginning of the relationship thinking of Peter instead of putting effort into John. And would eventually go back to Peter and leaving things with John a little rocky. On how much i hate Peter Kavinksky for Lara Jean, he is suppose to be her stepping stone and John is the one to truly sweep her off of her feet. Cause is reality John wouldn't have gotten the chance yet he would be the "Maybe if we meet at the right time" guy. So Essentially saying, your right back then in your top comment how you said Peter would let Lara Jean learn about relationships, I think thats what Jenny Han had in mind all along. And you too Maria Zhong That John and Lara Jean would be the ultimate relationship, not saying that it can't happen, But no one finds forever love that young anymore. I don't thing Han wanted to leave this relationship with a happy ending i think she wanted the reader to create their own ending.
I literally can't wait to read this book!!!! To all the boys I've loved before was just beautiful and I absolutely can not wait to read this one too!!!💕
Peter all the way! Peter's flaws is what makes him real, you can tell he loves Lara Jena and that he's trying! He does so many sweet things and I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
Honestly I feel a little guilty for wanting Lara Jean to be with John because I knew that there was no way they could get together because Peter's the main guy. But John Ambrose McClaren, man. He's unbelievably perfect and so charming. Then again, my heart hurt a lot at the cake walk scene.
+irene sameee
so true
Maybe in the third book John and Chris will get together?! I NEED A THIRD BOOK
Because John is perfect and Chris is a mess, AHHHH THAT'D BE PERFECT
That's exactly how I feel
seven words. Peter for Lara, John for me.
true!!!
That's six words lol. But yes
I realized that as soon as I commented! I think I meat to put an 'and' in there...
Let Lara Jean stay with Peter so that I can have John Ambrose McClaren!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes mine!!!!!
Wait he's mine sooooo i don't think so
"It's just you and me, kid." Ugh my heart hurts.😍😍😍
xo abbyyyxo Ughh!! So cute❤❤
I love John, he's such a good guy... but Peter Kavinsky is Lara Jean's. They are right together and he's so great
I'm definitely rooting for John! Come on he's literally every girl could dream of. And his cute things like the spin the bottle thing and how he was looking at her the whole time, the roses and sticks thing for 8th grade formal, the snow globe. And the best part ever the 40's party
I totally agree with you. I wanted him and Lara to become a couple :'(
Peter is my favorite! And I like when he unexpectedly knocks at her window and cuddles with her!!
Im definately team Peter. John is okay, but i feel like we don't really know John very well. I know Lara Jean does or at least she makes it out like she does, but Peter has flaws, but so does Lara Jean and they can see past each other's flaws and love each other. I also think it was good how sweet Peter was to Genevieve. I know he's not supposed to be there for her anymore, but the fact that he was shows some great character. Peter is just perfect with her
Definitely Peter. I can't explain it, but he makes me feel like I'm in love. I liked John, but he does not give me as many butterflies as Peter.
Team John!! I wanted to scream when Peter grabbed the snow globe and said "hold this" to John, like bish please you had your chance
I cracked up when he did that. I just read the second book and I am full of anger, and sadness, and love
John Ambrose McClaren forever. I need a third book
Will there be a third book?
Ikr like pleaseee John all the way
Ikr! Team John !
+92Stena no, jenny han said in ig that there will be no third book and that sucks af
+Kevin Gaming do you have a link?
I like John Ambrose McClaren so much! I wish Jenny Han writes an entire book about him. As for Peter and Lara Jean, I badly want to read more about their relationship. It's still flawed and immature. It'll be nice to see how their relationship will grow.
And I am so freakin curious about their dad and their neighbor's date! XD
"It's not an engagement ring." EXACTLY! PREACH CHRISTINE!
Loved loved loved this book team Peter all the way when he gave kitty that ride I was like awww and the scene with the Carmel cake hahaha too much! I loved this! Amazing book talk!
I cried at the cake part. I had so many emotions!
chloebug 127 ikr my absoulte favourite was this game or tag they played!!! Yass
I have such a crush on Peter😭❤️😍
Same!
Team Peter Forever
yes!! I LOVE Peter!!
Yes ❤️
Yes!!! ❤️
Yesss!!
Yess! 🙆🙆
I loved Peter and John, but I gotta admit I really wanted John and Lara Jean to date! I was rooting for him! And ALSO CHRISTINE I cannot believe you didn't mention the Assassins game they played! That was my favourite part of the whole book!
Peter throughout the book is charming but he is very selfish and often forgets Laura Jean's birthday and special things. John Ambrose on the other hand, is a gentleman. And he remembers things and is thoughtful. He treats her well, not young kid beneath him. He also is kind. And he's matured and grown as a person.

I want a third book in this series sooooo bad, I need it in my life and I want the conflict to be about her becomes friends with gen again and the whole love story line thing through the third could be about the girls getting their dad together with the neighbor or Chris starting to fall in love with someone and its a bit rocky cause she's always been a very "tough girl" so Lara Jean had to help her through it, that way Lara Jean and Peter can be happy and good through the third book
Myranda Barton I think this is the best thing i've ever heard
YASSSSS! The third book could be titled some sort of address, to go with the letters theme, or something like "Love, Lara Jean" or another kind of closing. And Lara Jean HAS to bake John another peanut butter chocolate cake with "JOHNNY" spelled out in Reese's pieces. She absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt HAS to. And there definitely needs to be more adorable moments with Peter. Also, Chris gets into some sort of long-term relationship with a boy and Genevieve and Lara Jean truce and can tolerate each other again and Gen gets over Peter and gets a boyfriend and Peter and Lara Jean come up with cute nicknames for each other! I think the third book should have confliction though. Maybe something that pulls Gen and Chris and Lara Jean together.
Wait... So when Lara Jean saw Gen and Peter in the driveway, why was Gen so sad? What had his father done? Had she seen him and Anna Hicks having sex or some kind of intimate moment? Had Gen's dad been sexually harassed by her dad? Beat up by him? Was he drunk? I want to find that out in the third book.
+Loc Thomson STOP PLAYING WITH MME HEART

I really wanted her to end up with John tbh.

I need a Peter in my life.
Who doesn't? 😍
Team John Ambrose all the way. I mean that name is just dreamy by itself but I was really hoping Lara Jean ended up with him. They had such a great chemistry together. I sure am hoping Jenny writes a third book so John Ambrose and Lara Jean get a chance together
She's writing the 3rd book and I am hoping that John and Lara will end up together...
+Mary Joy Ignacio PLEEEAAASSSEEE. I love John hahahha

I definitely preferred Peter. John was so sweet and I did get some feels in his moments with Lara Jean but I don't think anyone could stop me from shipping Lara Jean with Peter.
I know he's only 16 but Peter is up there with all of my favourite fictional boys. The only thing that sucked was that he knew it was Gen who made the videos but he didn't say anything.
I also had hope that Lara Jean and Gen would resolve everything, even if they didn't become best friends again but I wasn't surprised when it didn't happen.

John's my ideal guy bit for lara Jean a ship her with Peter.
I really want to start this series
CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW WE GOT 0 CLOSURE AND THE ENDING WAS JUST AS ABRUPT AND IT WAS ANNOYING AND THERE NEEDS TO BE MOREEE!
I hope we get to read more about John in the third book. He's more like a serious long term boyfriend material and Peter's the first boyfriend material 😍😍😍
I can't pick a guy, I love Peter but I also love John. It's conflicting me! This is easily in top 5 favorite books/ book series. I always want to read it because it is really a feel good book!
I'D CHOOSE PETER OVER JOHN ANYDAY IN A HEARTBEAT but it honestly bothers me sooo much how he always comforts gen?? like i do understand how gen needs him and all but i just don't feel comfortable how somehow i feel like he cares a lot more about gen than about lara jean .. i feel like lara jean deserves more than peter, she deserves someone like john but i'm super whipped for peter it actually drives me INSANE i don't want her and peter to ever break up BUT AT THE SAME TIME LARA JEAN DESERVES BETTER yall feel me

+Ivy Kim Yesss!! It's been confirmed by the author herself! 😆
the best. book. ever. just finished it this morning. less than 12 hours of reading it. oh my.
fav part? the treehouse scene between Peter and LJ talking about doing the deed or when Peter came and stayed in LJ's room (but only for 15 minutes lol) or when LJ and John Ambrose McClaren have their little snowball fight.
this book bloomed in my heart like a gardenia. and it's not dying yet.
I didn't like this book as much as the first but it was still a cute read that I really enjoyed. I really liked John's character and I was frustrated with Peter's character several times throughout this book... But it's Peter and he and Lara Jean have gone through a lot. Reading all of the baking scenes in this book made me want to go bake something, haha.
😍 I immediately made snickerdoodles after reading this book
So true I wanted to bake
Peter showing up with flowers and giving a ride to kitty on her birthday was just major points 😭💕
John is just a dream ..but I prefer Peter .. Peter and Lara has the chemistry, the history. John and Lara just has some few moments .. PETER ALL THE WAY .. I loved the ending though, in the treehouse .. So cute I almost cried !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
MY EXACT THOUGHTS! Im really clear that im on #TeamJohn though, im glad Jenny made the ending a little open to the possibility. Peter is amazing but John is perfection!
TEAM PETER!!!!!!!!!! He's more real and they have more history
Watching this:50% gushing and agreeing with the book analysis and rant50% obsessing with her perfect eyeliner! :D
Choosing between John and Peter is so difficult because I like them for different reasons.
I loved John but I'm so happy she ended up with Peter. I was really scared they wouldn't. I just love Peter
I'm still #TeamPeter ! This was such a great book and perfect closure! I loved the social media aspect of this & I still HATE Gen. Stormy was my favorite character this time around though!
Oh Christine you made me cry remembering those moments.This was such a lovely book.And I can't decide who I like more Peter or John I kinda like them both
OMG!! The ending of the book was soooooo perfect!!!!!! it broke me up into these emotional little feels!!!!!!!
You by far are one of my most favorite people to watch on here that talks about books. I share some of the same emotions and since none of my friends read like none I usually can look you up and there is a book talk for the books I love. And I'm more Peter than John.....there's just something about Peter that's like he's the one for Lara....and hopefully Jenny Han can make a third book out of what she has left for us to ponder over.
I love these youtube book talks because i have no friends that talk about books with me irl. ALSO I LOOOOOVED THIS BOOK SOOO SOO MUCH
When he calls her covey my feels tho
I'm still hoping for a third book! I just need more Peter and Lara Jean
There's going to be a third book!!!! ♡♡
Christine I love that you always just feel the same way I do when I read books!!!
OMG I really hope Jenny Han writes another book/series from Kitty's perspective when she is older! That would be so fun to read and it would be interesting to see Lara Jean and Margot when they're older. I also LOVED The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy!!! It was definitely one of my favorites. I've heard that Lionsgate is planning on turning it into a tv series? But I would definitely like to see them turn it into a movie series instead.
I love this series so much!! Team Peter and seriously cant wait for the third book :D
I SHIP JOHN AND LARA JEAN SO HARD
I loooooved this duology. It's a favorite now.
I can't CHOOSE WHICH IS MY MAN
I can't pick but like it said in the book Peter is realty and John is a dream
i love JENNY HAN!!!! i loved both of these books.
I loved this book so much. It feels like a book I read when I was 14 and it brought me back to the Sarah Dessen types of novels. I love how this book ended, but I also wouldn't mind another book! JENNY HANS WRITING IS JUST THAT GOOD :)
Jenny Han is the best at solving love triangles, she makes the characters end up with the right people but the third person doesn't hate them and they're all cool
* thinks about the summer I turned pretty 😍😍😍 *
i feel as if there, NEEDS to be a third book. Theres this point in the book with Johnny, where he's driving her home from school oh her bday (after peter tries to give the necklace back) and j says it just wasn't their time yet BUT maybe one day it will be! maybe the third book should have a time jump, her college years perhaps?
Honestly, I'm pulling for John in this. I feel like there was too much on and off with Lara Jean and Peter, and especially with Genevieve in the picture. This book was absolutely adorable!
Ugh, this book was so good I can't even explain my love for it
Im rooting for Peter Kavinsky til the endddd! I know he wasn't as perfect as Johnny but he really tries hard. Full effort to everything just to make Lara Jean safe unharmed.
I love the way you are on tears the hole video.
I feel you
I really love Stormy and how she really pushed Lara Jean and John together!
Your reviews giv me life, it was so hard for me to resist the urge to watch the rv before I read the book.
Kitty was my all time favorite character of this book. She just had so much sass, spunk,and wit about her. Also talk about josh's new girlfriend :0. All in all this book was amazing, I absolutely loved it.
The ending was bittersweet for me because I wish things were patched up between Gen and Lara Jean, but not everything can end like a fairy tale. I also feel bad for John because I loved him and smiled at every scene he was in, but I love Peter too and him and Lara Jean need a real chance to be together. Ugh I love these books so much! They make me feel all the feels! ❤️
I'm watching this when Always And Forever, Lara Jean is out and I'm around 80 pages into it and I definitely didn't love the start as much as Ps. I Still Love You but from where I'm up to now it's getting so much better!!!!!
I saw an interview with Jenny Han and she said, "I would kiss Peter and marry John Ambrose!! AHHHHHH Third book, ten years in the future. YESSS
TEAM PETER ALWAYSS 😫😫😫
I KNOW RIGHT I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCHH!!!
I just bought it and read it yesterday! I absolutely loved it!!
Team John forever!!😍😍 That guy is perfection.
You guys keep saying you want Gen & Lara Jean to become friends, whyyyyy??? She's soooo petty and she kept spreading that video of Lara jean & Peter! I'm happy they never made up Gen is the biggest Wit
+KIPONee N yas kpopp
+Leoniebiebs222 yasssss vernon
KIPONee I'm with you!
This video actually made me so happy!!
Johnny all the way!! Absolutely love him! and the snow ball fight scene!!
You look so pretty and this book was so cute and your pink lipstick is perfecttttt!
i go to your booktalks every time i finish a book they're just pERFECT :) i agree with everything you said and uGH THIS BOOK WAS TOO CUTE
I think the third book will somehow be yellow. Because Margot is Blue(P.S. I Still Love You color) Lara Jean is Pink(To All The Boys I've Loved Before color) and Kitty is Yellow. That's logical, right?
You make me want to read these books! I have yet to read any of Jenny Han, but I think I shall.
To All The Boys I've Loved Before/ Ps I Still Love You
0. Lara Jean's letter to peter doesn't start with ps I still love you-- yes that's the intent but that heading is quite literally her letter to Josh. Which is why I think I have such a hard time with the second one
0. John Ambrose McClaren is the right choice. But I suppose he isn't the correct choice- mom always references the first season of the bachelorette where Trisha picks who she picks- Ryan I believe because, "he needs her and the other one could live without her" -- which makes me think of Amal and George Clooney, he went his whole life without marrying and then he met Amal and he couldn't live without her and I always thought- still do in the way of Amal that she could live without him but he made her life better.
0. I think I have mixed feelings about Margot cause I like to think I'm a mix of LJ and GoGo but I think I'm probably more Margot.
0. I think we've all lost friends before but I don't think that I've ever hated an ex best friend. Not the way that Genevieve hates Lara jean.
0. I've read it again, and I still feel unsatisfied with the Josh ending.
0. I suppose that -- Josh and john and Lara jean would have better endings but I guess they aren't over. John said someday and Josh lives next door with the hope of coming back when Margot gives the all clear- but why don't we go back to the letter? Lara jean says she's not over him and keeps the letter in her diary to finish- but then later in the book when she is done- she never returns. Even if just to rip it up knowing letters do more harm than good.
0. Lara jean's letter to john Ambrose McClaren is just so different than her letter to peter's. the feelings she has for them are just so different. I'm not sure why this is difficult for me. Hopefully there will be some closure in the third. Like can john and her still be friends? Is that possible- she was able to move on from Josh.
God I love both guys so much, I can't choose!!!
I have been waiting for this video. So enjoyable! You make me smile. Keep up the spectacular work! Have a great day! 😊
UNPOPULAR OPINIONS: i wish she wrote a third book, in which lara jean and john are together. he said it wasn't their time yet (but maybe one day), so maybe her relationship with peter gives her more to learn about relationships. peter was so mean sometimes during the novel and it was never really explained or resolved. yes, he gives her the necklace back, but ultimately kind of ruins john's and lara jean's moment.
i want peter and gen back together, i know people might not like that, but he did kind of admit that gen's his number one girl, after all the break ups and all that. they support each other, and i want to see their relationship, one that's not with tinted glasses- one that really shows that gen doesn't have peter on a string but that it's much more than that. i wish that peter and lara jean break up on good terms, like maybe because their personalities clashed and because they overall didn't have very good communicaton. then i want lara jean and gen to make up!
there were so many things not resolved by the end of the novel, aghhhhh. jenny han, please write a third book or maybe a novella!
+back then I love that I'm not the only one who feels some type of way towards peter. Like yea he had his moments but he was a dick, and when that video surfaced he knew Genevieve did it and covered for her knowing how Lara Jean felt about it and wanted to know who did it. John is amazing and i need a little more of him, Lara Jean can do better than peter.
+Jaeda Hyde i do understand where you're coming from but i feel like John is way too perfect. They would be the ultimate couple but i think Han wanted to portray a flawed relationship which is why it was possible a duology rather than a standalone(?) Just a thought :-)
Maria Zhong Yes Omg 1000x yes i wish i added this to my comment.
Maria Zhong but a flawed relationship shouldn't be having someone else as his number one girl. in the first novel, it still was flawed, but i enjoyed it. however, in the second novel, i feel like it didn't address many problems that could have been resolved easily with a few words. instead, it added to the conflict. i don't know how their relationship will survive later on in the fictional book world.
back then i think you both make great points but now i can get my words across without sounding like an ass (Which explains my earlier reply -Sorry this is going to be a little long-). I feel like Han wanted to let the reader make their own ending out of Peter, Lara Jean And Johns love triangle. I feel like even if Lara Jean ended up with John things still and always would have ended up unresolved between her and Peter. Which means we wouldn't have found out about Genevieve and her fathers affair (Which i think was B.S for Peter to use as an excuse to always stay by her -Gen- side). Yes, even in flawed relationships trust is a factor its just a matter if you trust the person their with (reasons on why Lara Jean acted the way she did with Genevieve). And we wouldn't have gotten the "It isn't our Time yet" from John. If she left the relationship off with John, I feel like Lara Jean would spend a lot of the beginning of the relationship thinking of Peter instead of putting effort into John. And would eventually go back to Peter and leaving things with John a little rocky. On how much i hate Peter Kavinksky for Lara Jean, he is suppose to be her stepping stone and John is the one to truly sweep her off of her feet. Cause is reality John wouldn't have gotten the chance yet he would be the "Maybe if we meet at the right time" guy. So Essentially saying, your right back then in your top comment how you said Peter would let Lara Jean learn about relationships, I think thats what Jenny Han had in mind all along. And you too Maria Zhong That John and Lara Jean would be the ultimate relationship, not saying that it can't happen, But no one finds forever love that young anymore. I don't thing Han wanted to leave this relationship with a happy ending i think she wanted the reader to create their own ending.
I'm actually planning on buying the first one this week now this made me really excited!!!
I LOVE YOU XTINE!!!!
I literally can't wait to read this book!!!! To all the boys I've loved before was just beautiful and I absolutely can not wait to read this one too!!!💕
Omg omg Jenny Han should definately write another series in Kitty's point of view when she grows up!
Thank you, Christine! Your review is amazing and thanks to you I've read the book ))) I hopr there will be #3 in this series ))))
I loved Peter and the scene where they broke up after she tagged him out I broke down crying this book emotionally screwed me up hahaha
I hope she writes a new book!!! And im totally TeamPeter
Peter all the way! Peter's flaws is what makes him real, you can tell he loves Lara Jena and that he's trying! He does so many sweet things and I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
