P.S. I Still Love You is the highly anticipated sequel for To All the Boys I've Loved Before. P.S. I Still Love You picks off where To All the Boys I've Loved Before left off. Lara Jean has realized the truth of her feelings for Peter, and aims to win him back. But that makes it all sound so simple. And things in Lara Jean's life are anything but. This is also the first YA novel I've read that prominently features a game of assassin in its plot, and that I can appreciate. 
 I love Lara Jean. I love that doesn't have it all figured out yet, and she's okay with that. I love that even in her insecurity she has self-respect. She is so relatable. And so human. What I love about these novels is that, yes they are teen romance. But I always found myself on the side of Lara Jean, rather than Lara Jean plus one. I wasn't necessarily rooting for her to get with anyone in particular (though yes I had favorites). This also speaks to Han's brilliant crafting of realistic, complex high school characters. Even our love interests here are not perfect. They are teenage boys. They are going to be pretty unprotect at times. But it was such a joy to watch Lara Jean come into her own, while also figuring out the love stuff along the way. 
 P.S. I Still Love You features a prominent cyber bullying subplot, which I appreciated. This is the reality teens are facing now. It is brutal, often anonymous, and ever changing. It was nice to see it starkly represented here. How a private moment can be stolen and twisted for the masses. Along the same lines, I connected with Han's depiction of female friendships, and how those transition or end sometimes abruptly and with no explanation in middle and high school. That was one aspect I could appreciate all to well. Honestly, it all made me more glad than ever that I am not having to navigate the teenage landscape today. It seems like it only continues to get murkier. I have a lot of respect for what you're dealing with teens. 
 When I first picked up To All the Boys I've Loved Before I honestly wasn't expecting much. Not that I didn't trust Jenny Han to deliver, or the many, many satisfied readers, or the adorable cover. Simply, I didn't know if a straightforward high school romance could still speak to me. Which is ridiculous. I realize how ridiculous that is. And both novels have spoken to me. If you want something cute and empowering that also deals with real issues, pick up these two books. You won't be disappointed.
