P.S. I Still Love You begins with the end of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. The beginning of the book was hard for me to get through because I was not invested into the story at all. It was a “I’m not enjoying the story but I still want to keep reading” moment for me. 
After first few chapters and the plot picked up speed, I became more engaged in the book. Lara Jean had some character development, which I really loved seeing in this book. It was nice to see her get so involved at the nursing home and how it become a safe place for Lara Jean. I thought I would like Peter more in this one but nope. I still think he’s rude and a little self centered. I hate his attitude, especially in this book. Every time Lara Jean would try to talk about how she felt, Peter found something to throw back in her face. I just can’t take Lara Jean and Peter’s relationship seriously. Some of the scenes of them together just felt more awkward than romantic. I just don’t see the connection between them. I understand that they’re young so it’s not going to be perfect. There were some chapters and scenes that were too long and descriptive. I wanted to skip reading them and get to the eventful and dramatic parts. The last 100 pages or so were the best and most exciting parts in the whole book. The ending did annoy me though. 

The only reason I enjoyed reading this book was the new characters and learning more about characters from the first book. Especially John Ambrose McClaren!! He was friendly and genuine. I liked him and Lara Jean together. The 1940’s themed USO party was cute. I love history so that chapter was fun and interesting. Honestly, I was more excited about John and Lara Jean and even Dr. Covey (Lara Jean’s Dad) finding love than Peter and Lara Jean’s relationship. I guess you can I’m Team John!! Despite the romance and funny scenes, this book did have an emotional and heartfelt tone for the story. I definitely liked To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before more than P.S. I Still Love You but it was an okay sequel.
