If you are interested in viewing my original review on Goodreads of P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, #2) by Jenny Han, click here.
Enough of that, let's move on to my actual review, shall we? Ahhh, Mr. Peter Kavinsky.
In the first book, my thoughts on Peter were very clear: he's a complete d*ck and that's literally it, but he was more tolerable in this one, which I don't understand considering he has the exact personality in both of them. I know, confusing. I'm just as confused as you are, trust me. Keeping the above in mind, he pissed me off sometimes. For example, (view spoiler) like c'mon Kavinsky. I would say you're better than that, but, are you really? The first time he wanted Lara Jean back it was sweet, for lack of a better word, but it's becoming so redundant now, I have a hard time believing that anybody in their right mind would have 98 falling outs with the same person in less than 365 days but, then again, this is Peter Kavinsky we're talking about here, the top of the school. Every girl wants him and only him just for herself, so I guess Lara Jean wants her title of girlfriend to the high power jock that rules Adler High (or whatever the name of the school is, I honestly forgot, I'm probably 13 letters off, but oh well. I think that's the name of the school in the movie, but I'm too lazy to spend two minutes to pull up the movie on Netflix [which I already have opened, for the record] or a quick Google search and a little bit of stalking to figure out because I really couldn't care less, although that's probably hard to believe considering I wrote a paragraph regarding what the f*ck is the name of the school in TATBILB?!??!11/>!1$2 but ANYWAY, moving on now) to reign for as long as she possiblycan have it for. I don't blame her, that's high school for you. The "love triangle" sh*t was unnecessary, for lack of better words because Lara Jean and Peter always come back to each other, falling in love for the million and oneth time <33333333 Moving on from Peter Kavinsky (okay, maybe not, butconsidering I just gave him like 12 paragraphs, I think its time I get over him and move on, something Lara Jean has yet to do, for the record ;) I thought the other characters were... Meh. Kitty is still 12/10 the best character in this series, Chris was... Chris, there simply isn't any other way to put it, Gen was a b*tch, as expected, Lara Jean was... Lara Jean, there also isn't any other way to describe Lara Jean besides Lara Jean, and Margot was chill. I am quite fond of Stormy though, I would kill to have a relative as bad*ss as her, not gonna lie. The writing in the first book was one of my favorite things about it, but it was trashy in this one. Just complete, utter trash. I couldn't stand how repetitive and choppy and purely annoying it was. It made it IMPOSSIBLE to read at times. The pacing in this one sucked, but I mean, it was also disgusting in the first one, so what was I expecting? Everything either A.) went by way too fast or B.) was dragged out for way too long. There was no in between, no healthy balance of any kind. It also bothered me that the "cliffhangers" in the first book were all resolved within ten pages of this novel. This review is coming to a very abrupt ending, but I don't know what else to say. To be honest, I regret starting this series, not going to lie. While its intriguing, I have a lot of problems with it and a majority of it annoys me, for lack of better words. I'm still gonna start the third book right after finish this review and probably be done with that one by midnight, but who's surprised? Not me, that's for sure.
