![]() ![]() ![]() Lara Jean reminds me of me, the way she clings to people and to memories. You spend so much of your life with your classmates during elementary, middle, and high school, and then after graduation, there is a high likelihood you will never see many of those people again. In some books, the end of senior year is just a blip as characters go off to Real Life, but Always and Forever really portrays how final graduation can be. ![]() So yeah, PSISLY and Always and Forever introduce a lot of conflict for Lara Jean and Peter K, but honestly, I'm down because it's incredibly realistic.Īlways and Forever is very much a book about endings and about change. In a series where the original conflict is getting the lovebirds together, the conflict in any sequels will almost always be about the romance whereas with speculative fiction, the conflict is usually external of the couple's relationship. I always say that the hardest thing with contemporary sequels is that to have an interesting story, there has to be conflict. The book totally stands on its own, but I think it's great to have PSISLY and Always and Forever showing us more of Lara Jean's life. It has been an absolute pleasure to return once again to the world Jenny Han created in To All the Boys. ![]()
