PS. I Still Love You



Based off the book by Jenny Han
Second installment of the To All the Boys I've Loved Before trilogy

My Thoughts:
I loved it.

I think these movies are pretty faithful adaptations to some amazing books.

I loved the opening credit and how they were inspired by Adventures in Babysitting (one of my favorite movies)

I loved the first date between Lara Jean and Peter

I loved the addition of Stormy

I loved Kitty - I wish we saw more of her

I loved the relationship building between her father and the neighbor

I loved the moment between her and her former BFF

I love Peter

I loved the chemistry between Peter and Lara Jean

I loved the cameo from Jenny Han - always fun to see the author in the movie.

Basically as you can see, there are TONS of reasons to love this movie.
I can't wait to see the third one!

Review: P.S. I Still Love You

 * Book 2 in the Love Trilogy *
Lara Jean isn't happy that her fake relationship ended with Peter. She misses him. So on New Year's Eve, she writes him a letter. The letter works like magic and they're back together. Lara Jean couldn't be happier.

Until a video of her a Peter in the hot tub goes viral. She's so embarassed that everyone knows. She's deveestated. Peter defends her. But they aren't saying awful things about him.

Lara Jean knows her ex best friend and Peter's ex-girlfriend is behind the video, but she can't prove it. Peter defends Gen. What starts out as friction between the two of them leads to drama.

Can a fake relationship turned real actually work?
My Thoughts: I loved this sequel.

I love the power of words and letters. I love that Lara Jean wrote on New Year's Eve, to create an understanding for the new year. I liked learning about Lara Jean's family cultural traditions for New Year's. 

I felt horrible for Lara Jean and dealing with the fallout from the video posted. I can't imagine going through anything like that. 

I like the game the old friends play and Lara Jean's chats with John.

I love Kitty -she's funny, sharp, and wildly entertaining. I love her schemes, especially trying to set up her father on date. 

I can't wait to see what happens next.

Final Thoughts: Jenny Han captures contemporary romance perfect - the highs and lows combined with drama, friendship, and family. If you haven't read this yet, what are you waiting for?
