Always and Forever, Lara Jean (To All The Boys I've Loved Before, 3),cover may vary

The third and final instalment of the ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’ series begins with a time jump in Lara Jean’s life, as she is now preparing for her first year in college and trying to figure out what the next step is she wants to take in hers and Peter’s relationship. I don’t have a lot of belief when it comes to long distance relationships, quickly making me doubt that this relationship wasn’t going to make it to the end of the book. Unless you’re going to the same college, in the words of Lara Jean’s mom, “don’t go to college with a boyfriend”. The final book was a deeper look in to Lara Jean becoming an adult, no longer living in anyone’s shadows, becoming her own person and experiencing things for the first time. With college just around the corner and complications occurring, Lara Jean is now thinking about bringing more intimacy in to their relationship, baring in mind Peter had a lot of that with Gen and the way Jenny went about this when writing ‘Always and Forever, Lara Jean’ really was very important, especially to all young girls and boys who may read this. Jenny never writes about sex in this book as taboo or wrong and she shows the importance in communicating with your partner about having sex and making sure it is comfortable for both people because this is a vital part of one’s life and you don’t want to take advantage of it in a way that you’ll regret. Every character in the book even talk about it naturally from her sisters, to Peter, even to her father. They’re all very understanding that it’s time for Lara Jean to have these thoughts and support her in making the right decisions for her. The story also focused on dilemmas that came about, regarding Lara Jean’s college choices and all the things she may have to sacrifice depending on her final decision. Peter and her family were incredibly supportive around this time, as they always are, and it was great to see Peter consider making sacrifices as well to prevent their relationship coming to an end. Overall, this was another incredible read from Jenny and it’s safe to say, I am well and truly invested in all of these characters and wish them all the best. Lara Jean, I must admit, did irritate me sometimes in this book regarding a certain wedding coming up and I just wanted to scream “NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!!”. I suppose it was good to keep her childish mindset somewhat alive during her move to college, but wow, that girl is sometimes too organised for her own good and needs to maybe wing it now and again. I’d love to know what happened afterwards – have Lara Jean and Peter managed to make their relationship work? How is Kitty dealing with having neither one of her sisters around all the time? Have things developed in Margot’s relationship? etc. Don’t leave us hanging, Jenny! I’m not ready to say goodbye to this wonderful series just yet.

Ah Lara Jean, I am going to miss you! Another great read! And boy am I surprised to fall in love with literature for girls aged 12-16 (I think this is the best target market for this Jenny Chan trilogy!). In our modern age of explicit content everywhere, it is really sweet to find a book which is decent, good-humoured and will probably teach a thing or two the next generation (at least about the need and excitement of further education and university!). I've never encountered such a straightforward and no-fuss book about falling in love, growing up and decisions that all of us face. It's all very high school and at the same time it is very real. It has all: falling in love, first relationships, innocent (and not so innocent) kisses, a little bit of seriousness (bullying/lies) and ultimately a good end (NO SPOILERS HERE - Lara Jean will know if it is indeed necessary to go to college with a high-school sweetheart). And this is as far away from another fantasy/dystopian novel as you can get. I am so recommending this trilogy to all the young girls out there! Absolutely recommended to all the teenagers out there. Parents, you heard me!

When this book was announced I really wasn’t sure what I felt about it. I loved To All the Boys I Loved Before, then Ps I Still Love You wasn’t as good but I also thought it rounded the series out quite well and suddenly a third book gets announced and I was very conflicted. I really enjoy the characters that Jenny created with this series but I was worried what she was going to do with the third book. I was also terrified she was going to split up Lara Jean and Peter K. Lara Jean is in her senior year of high school and her and Peter K. are solid but then applications for college start to happen and the anxiety of whether Lara Jean will get in to where she wants to go causes a lot of unwanted stress. I liked this book more than the second book but it still wasn’t as good as the first. What I did like though was seeing characters I knew go through the stress of college applications because often in books you’re introduced to the characters as they’re going through it. I also liked that there was the possibility of Lara Jean and Peter not having that happily ever after at the same college. And I really liked how anxiety was portrayed differently with each character, some were obvious and some were more subtle but it was there and good to read. Lara Jean was acting really weird with Kitty at times in the book, she was really quite sexist which I found quite out of character. She was trying to force Kitty into wearing a dress even though Kitty didn’t want to wear one and it made me uncomfortable to read. There was a lot of Hamilton references which I absolutely adored but like I’ve said in a lot of reviews references can really date books. Overall I would say this was a good addition to the series. As much as I enjoyed the series as a duology I would be lying if I said I wasn’t happy to dive back into the lives of the Song sisters.

Bought for granddaughter who really enjoys the previous Lara Jean books

Lara Jean is finishing high school and looking to college, she wants to go with Peter but can she get in and if she doesn't then what does that mean for their relationship. Plus her dad is getting married and her sister isn't happy. Change is a ahead and it's time for Lara Jean to make some tough decisions. This is the final installment and it finishes the series so well though a part of me wants a later story when they're all grown up. The plot is simple and quite predictable and yet I loved every word. It's a perfect light read that I really loved. The ending was perfect and just made me fall in love with Peter even more.

I’m so glad I read this series. I watched the movies before reading them, and I’m kind of glad I did, I can only see Noah as Peter. So this is the final installment in the To All The Boys trilogy, and it was just a good as the others. I love LJ and Peter, the two main characters are totaly my favourites/ But I like all of the side characters too. Kitty and Margot (fab as usual, Jenny Han should really write books about Kitty, the Netflix show XO Kitty is really good), LJs Dad and Trina, John Ambrose, and Chris. I love LJ and PKs relationship, I’ve been on their side the whole time, and loved reading how it played out in the end. I’ll treasure my physical copies of these, I can see these being comfort re-reads.

I really enjoyed both the first and second books in this trilogy and was hopeful for a nice end to it. I was not disappointed and I thought this book was very good and it exceeded my expectations. Jenny Han, I think, managed to make a book that has a lot of clichés, but interpretated them so it was unique and exciting. I would recommend to teens especially, but I think this book is great for young adults and so on.

I’ve been a massive fan of this trilogy from the start, but I have to admit that I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the third instalment. It’s not that I was dreading it, but I didn’t think the series really needed to be a series. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before was a cute standalone, ya know? But regardless, I read the sequels because I’m a huge Jenny Han fan (is there a name for us? There should be.) and I ended up enjoying them both. Always and Forever, Lara Jean turns everything upside down when Lara Jean can’t get into the college of her choice, meaning her carefully laid out plan doesn’t work out and she and Peter might have to go long distance. In true Lara Jean fashion, she tries her best to make things work while also rigidly sticking to her previous plan (I can relate!) before realising that she might have to adjust some things. I love Lara Jean and I love Peter. I love Lara Jean’s family. Everything about this book was super cute and adorable and relatable. I really like how much Lara Jean has grown up throughout the course of this trilogy. She was very young and innocent in the first book, but now she is a lot more mature. Still a bit young, but whatever, she’s eighteen. But I like that her character growth is so noticeable. Oh, and there’s a wedding! A really adorable wedding that I am the slightest bit in awe of. I am sooooo glad that Han didn’t go with the epilogue thing again. The Burn for Burn series was ruined, in my opinion, by the damn epilogue, and I was really hoping there wouldn’t be one for this series. And there wasn’t! It was the best ending!

It was amazing, no single damage and l received in proper condition.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before、 P.S. I Still Love Youを読んだ娘が早く続きを読みたいと言って届くのを心待ちにしていました。

A beautiful conclusion to a story that became so dear to my heart. If you need a comfort read, this trilogy is it.

*self-purchased. No need of sugar daddies called promo teams* What’s this book about? (I'm trying to give as little spoilers as possible) Things are about to change for Lara Jean. She’s in her senior year and big decisions await. After planning everything meticulously, she finds herself in a strange position of having to rethink all her plans. This is my third Jenny Han read. I loved book one. Book two was torture. I waited almost six months to finally pick this up. I watched the movie to the second book when it came out and I’ve been meaning to get to reading Always And Forever, Lara Jean, for some time now. The structure to this novel was the same as in the previous ones. I’ve grown to love Lara Jean, but I don’t want to read her stories unless I’m really desperate for some positivity and optimism in my life. There are very few hurdles here and perhaps, that’s exactly why this series is such a bundle of joy. It works for its audience. I can’t hate on Lara Jean because she’s adorable in lots of ways; she seems very proper in lots of others. Her chemistry with Peter was lovely. Their relationship made appearances in this novel, however, at times it felt like we were focusing a lot on Lara Jean’s family. Which, to be honest, since she was in her senior year and she was about to leave for college, was completely fine. I just would have personally liked more Peter appearances. Peter EVERYWHERE. Speaking of Peter, he had major developments here. We finally see him crack, in some ways. His family dynamics are explored and in typical Lara Jean fashion, she wanted to make it all okay. I understood Peter and the decisions he made concerning his family, sometimes wanting to rattle Lara Jean awake and tell her to lay off the poor boy for his choices LOL. Not everyone can have the picture-perfect family! Kitty was the CUTEST. I think she was the mastermind behind the entire orchestration of her family’s lives! Margot played a more crucial role in the story this time around. I understood what she felt and why she behaved the way she did. It’s difficult to leave your home and when you come back, find that everything’s changing. She was the most emancipated out of the siblings and it was truly fun to see how scandalous she seemed with her trivial relationship to her family. It seemed hilarious to me. I recommend this read to anyone who doesn’t mind getting sentimental over teenagers going through their senior years, Lara Jean stans and people who need some fluffy and cute reads in their lives.

I loved this series. I borrowed the first two books but I couldn’t get the third fast enough so I ended up buying it for myself. I was at first a little embarrassed because I considered myself to be too old to read teen fiction anymore but it is a book I think girls of all ages, even those Stormy age can enjoy (read the book and you’ll get it). It’s nostalgic for me and I would recommend this book to anyone but especially teenage girls because it’s comforting and teaches important lessons on what love should look like and it’s just full of inspiration and parts that made me giggle with delight at how romantic and sweet and corny they are.
