Review: Always and Forever, Lara Jean

 

✩✩✩✩✩

Lara Jean is having the best senior year a girl could ever hope for. She is head over heels in love with her boyfriend, Peter; her dad’s finally getting remarried to their next door neighbor, Ms. Rothschild; and Margot’s coming home for the summer just in time for the wedding. But change is looming on the horizon. And while Lara Jean is having fun and keeping busy helping plan her father’s wedding, she can’t ignore the big life decisions she has to make. Most pressingly, where she wants to go to college and what that means for her relationship with Peter. She watched her sister Margot go through these growing pains. Now Lara Jean’s the one who’ll be graduating high school and leaving for college and leaving her family—and possibly the boy she loves—behind. When your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?

Mature content: no

Review: Although this series is targeted to late teens/young adults, I still loved it all the same. I guess a good book is a good book no matter the audience the author had in mind originally.

 

 

   

 

Always and Forever, Lara Jean is the final book in the series that starts with To All the Boys I've Loved Before and continues with P.S. I Still Love You. In this last book Lara Jean and Peter are all grown up and have to make a lot of important decisions about the rest of their lives, and though, yes, nothing is absolutely straight forward, I particularly loved Peter's attitude in the end - they aren't like anybody else, so they need to make their own choices, not copy what others did before them. This is a great life lesson for all of us.

Of course, being book 3, Always and Forever, Lara Jean is not one you can read stand alone - but honestly, the whole series is very much worth reading, and I recommend it.
