Always and Forever, Lara Jean

By: Jenny Han

Narrated by: Ali Ahn

Lara Jean's letter-writing days aren't over in this surprise follow-up to the best-selling To All the Boys I've Loved Before and P.S. I Still Love You.

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?

Great Narrator - OK Love Story

Ali Ahn did an amazing job on this series. She really brought it to life. Story wise I was left feeling a little unsatisfied. It's hard to root for the couple when they keep breaking up. Truthfully, I'm not sure they're a good match. Lara Jean is too indecisive and Peter deserves better - but they are teenagers so that kind of drama is realistic. Overall, I liked the book and the cast. Was engaged the entire time.

Fun story

I enjoyed all three of the Lara Jean stories. They are fun reminders of first loves.

The Romance

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Several times I thought I could predict the outcome but I would’ve been wrong over and over again. Ultimately, I loved the ending! I would read 3 more books on these characters.

Sucker for romance

I loved it this story. I hated that it ended, but all good stories do.

There needs to be more!

First off, I would like to thank the narrator for a tremendous job on this series. She's one of the reasons why I kept coming back. The series was amazing but let it have been a sucky narrator and I wouldn't have been here.
Next, where the heck is the rest. I have lost the measly amount of hope I have left in the world because this series isn't over. That first year of college is going to be absolute hell and I know it, so I didn't feel the 'happy ever after'. Personally, I don't wish to see if Lara Jean and Peter end up together at the end of it all, I just want the rest of their story. I like how realistic it is and despite if they end up together, I wanted to be a part of the process.
With that said, the second book will always be my favorite because there was a lot more going on–a lot more conflict and good amount of drama. This book had conflict, but it wasn't nearly the same as the first and second. Despite all that, it was all so realistic that I couldn't hate it. It wasn't over the top or forced, it was a story of growing up and going down different paths and it was heartbreakingly beautiful. I'm still feeling the after effect of it.
Hopefully in the future a fourth book is established (I kind of doubt that too) but until then, this series and characters have a place in my heart.
