I have had this book series on my "to read" list for years. I recently watched the Netflix movie and thoroughly enjoyed how wonderfully cheesy it is. I know that movies and books always tend to differ (usually books are better), but this time I wish the book was as good as the movie.
Everyone who watched the movie just swoons over Peter, and he was sweet in the movie, but I cannot stand the Peter in the book. I'm over his too cool to care attitude and his ego that makes him think Lara Jean would be lucky to date him. The more I read this book, the more I disliked Peter and thought I couldn't imagine him coming back in my mind once I reached a certain extent of dislike. I was right. I started the second book and I still don't like him. To be honest, Lara Jean isn't that likable either. She's pretty naive, but love does strange things to a teenage girl. I felt like Lara Jean's sisters, Kitty and Margot were also pretty whiny. The only likable character in the book for me was Josh, and at first I secretly hoped that Lara Jean would end up with him even though he dated her sister, but now I think Josh deserves better than any of the Covey sisters.
I'm making this book sound worse than it is. It's actually a quick and fun read. It's exactly what you might think: a cheesy teen romance. Despite this review I still feel like I need to read the two sequels so onto P.S. I Still Love You...
