Summer Reading #9

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

This is the sequel of To All the Boys I've Loved Before, and I was excited about it because I liked the first book so much. That excitement waned as I started reading. I didn't think this was terribly special.

Lara Jean and Peter start dating for real, but Peter still seems to be hung up on Genevieve. There's a "sex tape" scandal involving Lara Jean and Peter too, and Lara Jean is convinced Genevieve is behind it. Peter refuses to believe it. One day Lara Jean gets a letter in the mail, and it is from John, the one boy who didn't respond when her letters were mailed in the first book. They have unresolved feelings for each other. Will Lara Jean stay with Peter, or will she go with John?

Seriously, this was too high school. I teach high school, so it seems I live this mess everyday; I don't need it in the books I read too. I like relationships to be a little more complex than what was here. Not a bad book, just not what I was hoping for either.
