P.S. I Still Love You

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
Kindle | Paperback | Hardcover

Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.

She and Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.

When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?

In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Times bestseller To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara Jean. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of makes it so amazing.

Book Review ~ P.S. I Still Love You

*A little spoiler. You’ve been warned.*

Good twist and a worthy (dare I say, needed) continuation of the first book. This book continues the relatability factor that already exists in To All The Boys I've Loved Before. The story reminded me that love is not plain and simple. It never is.  - Ara @ My Book and My Coffee

P.S. I Still Love You continues Lara Jean's story from To All the Boys I've Loved Before. The first book ended perfectly as what TATBILB #TeamPeter fans (including me) have hoped for. However, we are reminded in this book that not all happy, giddy, and lovely relationships won't face any problem along the way. Even though they started really magical, they are bound to get some zits and zaps.

Did we really expect that those love letters that were sent accidentally won't have any other positive 'responses'? In this book, Lara Jean will find out more about one of the boys she loved before. Can she handle him and his charm? It is pretty exciting, really. 

Lots of things to like about TATBILB 2 though. I extremely liked the part where Peter gave Lara Jean her necklace back. And what he said there was really sweet for a 17-year old like him.

One thing here, it felt a bit looooong during the first half of the book. I think that is just because I would like to know more about the new boy. And I would like for the Genevieve thing to be done already. But I guess she is a needed twist in the story. 

Overall, I would still highly recommend reading this one, too, because if you're #TeamPeter it will definitely be worth your time. 

My favorite character: John Ambrose McClaren. I realllly like him. He is thoughtful, charming, and OMG cool! 

My favorite scenario: After the USO party, that scene outside the front entrance. That was legit 👌👌👌

Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Form: Paperback

Book Description: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before



To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
Kindle | Paperback | Hardcover

What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them…all at once?

Sixteen-year-old Lara Jean Song keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren’t love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she’s written. One for every boy she’s ever loved—five in all. When she writes, she pours out her heart and soul and says all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean’s love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

Book Review ~ To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

*A little spoiler. You’ve been warned.*

Get ready to fall in love again with Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. This was a really fascinating read. It made me remember how it feels to not have an idea about love and then realizing it all of a sudden. I loooooooooove this book and can’t wait to read the next one.  - Ara @ My Book and My Coffee

Keeping love letters (she doesn’t intend to send) in a teal hatbox her mother gave her? That’s Lara Jean Song. It’s kind of amazing, what this teal hatbox is for, really, and you’ll find that out once you read it (or maybe you know it already if you’ve read this one). 

Personally, handwritten letters are underrated especially nowadays. I read about a girl who kept writing to her pen pal even with the technology today and I’ve always admired her for that. It keeps things personal and with effort. I was like that once, you know. I’ve handwritten love letters, diaries and more. I’ve kept them but there were circumstances were these also got me into trouble. 

Anyway ... let’s go back to Lara Jean. I told you, it made me remember things.

I soooo love this story. No dull moment in this story at all. It’s so nice to see Lara Jean’s character to actually explore and find out things for herself. That’s an important aspect of growing up, I believe. To learn on your own. To be responsible for your own actions and most of all, to know what’s true and what’s probably not. You cannot be perfect but that’s life. You decide what’s perfect for you and what’s not going to work out. 

I didn’t read any reviews or watch the Netflix film so I didn’t know that I will also like Peter Kavinsky’s character. At first I was annoyed but this character will grow on you -- you will love him, too. I like that he’s someone that you can belong with. Could it be? 

Josh. Joshy. One would think that he’s perfect for any Song girl but he only fits that way with the first one. Hint. Hint. I like his character but there are some lines that you don’t cross. Any time. For those of you who have read this book, you know what I mean. :)

Margot and Katherine are Lara Jean’s sisters. They are supportive in their own way. I love their bond. I also like that Katherine’s wise and mind you, way beyond her age. 

I wasn’t that much happy with the ending simply because I wanted moooooore. And I think that just shows how this book was so effective for me. It made me want more. I certainly want to know what happens next. Now. 

Great job. 

I gotta go buy the next book in this series. Bye.

Book Description: Love & Gelato



 Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
Kindle | Paperback | Hardcover

A summer in Italy turns into a road trip across Tuscany in this sweeping debut novel filled with romance, mystery, and adventure.

Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, but she isn’t in the mood for Italy’s famous sunshine and fairy-tale landscape. She’s only there because it was her mother’s dying wish that she get to know her father. But what kind of father isn’t around for sixteen years? All Lina wants to do is get back home.

But then Lina is given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly Lina’s uncovering a magical world of secret romances, art, and hidden bakeries. A world that inspires Lina, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her mother’s footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long. It’s a secret that will change everything Lina knew about her mother, her father—and even herself.

People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more.

Book Review ~ Love & Gelato

*Spoilers (a bit)*

You'll want to know more about Carolina's adventures in this book. Mixed feelings and more from this book. I am soooo happy to have read this! - Ara @ My Book and My Coffee

Stracciatella, please? 10 scoops. Too much? 

Carolina just lost her mom and now, her grandma sends her to Florence, Italy to go live with her father (who lives in a cemetery). Real father or not? Is he a father because he loved her mother? Or is he the mysterious X? Find out for yourself. 

Awkward, awkward, awkward situation, I know. 

Carolina's character is easily relatable because her being a teenager, losing someone important in her life, and taking on new adventures are something most of us have or had experienced in our own personal lives. And to be with a stranger at a certain time like that, and in a different country would be too much to handle - teenager or adult. I think she's brave for even doing the things that she did. 

Italy is a magical place, so I'm told. Haven't been but I've been to some parts of Europe already. The author made sure that we can also visualize what Carolina's seeing while she's there whether it's a Piazza or a secret bakery somewhere. 

Lorenzo or Ren - maybe it's fate that brought him and Carolina together but all I can say is that it must have been sooooo nice to have someone that you can be comfortable with almost right away, given her situation. 

The journal. Oh yes, there's a journal. Too many emotions. Sadness, joy, awe, anger, frustration, and more. Sometimes, the truth hurts (we all know this) but Carolina did what she had to do to find out more about where she came from. For me, it is better to know than to fantasize something that you don't have any idea about. To know is to fill the void, to answer questions that matter to you. To help you decide what will matter and what will not in the end. I understand this completely. 

I like the ending very much. Well, I do like happy endings. Hint hint.

If you like romance with a little bit of mystery and adventure, don't hesitate to go and get this book.
