As always, I loved Lara Jean’s dynamic with her sisters and her friendship with Chris and Lucas, as well as the growing relationship she has with Trina. Lara Jean and Peter’s relationship is as adorable as ever-minus the bumps along the way-and the side plot with Lara Jean’s dad getting married is heartwarming. Reading this book, I remembered the anxiety that went along with waiting for college acceptances, the joy of watching my friends get “promposed” to in elaborate ways, and the paradoxical feeling of both excitement and terror at the fact that everything was changing.Īlways and Forever, Lara Jean is raw, real, and relatable in a way that the first two books were not but still had that same charm. I’ve never fake-dated my middle school crush and had that turn into a real relationship-and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that not many other people have, either-but almost everyone has gone through the panic of graduating from high school. And I think that was my favorite part of this book and why it ended up being my favorite in the series. Although it’s been nearly ten years since I was a senior in high school, reading Lara Jean go through all of the ups and downs of that year brought me right back. Lara Jean and Peter are well into their senior year of high school and dealing with everything that goes along with that waiting for college acceptances, senior class trips, prepping for prom. Always and Forever, Lara Jean was hands down my favorite in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series.
