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?

Short and Sweet Review

It’s Lara Jean’s senior year! Peter is still her boyfriend, her dad is getting remarried, and her older sister is coming home for the summer. But as one chapter in her life is closing Lara starts to worry about what’s going to happen in the new one.

Lara Jean is dealing with a lot of the normal senior things: prom, graduation, college acceptances, and moving on. I love Lara Jean she’s just trying to figure out what’s best for her. When it comes to going to school she has a few options but she obviously doesn’t want to go to far from Peter. Her dad is also getting remarried to Trina! I liked that in this book Trina sort of played a mother role but she never overstepped. I also enjoyed seeing the sisterly bond between Margo, Lara Jean, and Kitty. Peter and Lara Jean’s relationship hits some bumps mainly because they’re both unsure of what the future holds for them. I did like seeing Lara Jean go through her senior year and enjoy all the big moments especially prom. There’s not much that goes on in the book, but a big focus is on colleges, Peter, and the wedding! Since the beginning of the series I’ve felt a connection with Lara Jean, so whenever something happens I can’t help but feel the same emotions she feels. I’m upset that this is the last book in the trilogy but I’m so happy I started reading these books!

KILLING SADIE By Rachel Peterson

Short and Sweet Review Killing Sadie had such an intriguing premise that immediately pulled me in. A murder mystery told through multiple interrogations, unreliable narrators, and conflicting stories sounded like exactly the kind of YA thriller I enjoy. Unfortunately, while the setup was strong, the execution didn’t quite live up to its potential. The multiple POV […]

HELL TO PAY By Lora Beth Johnson

Short and Sweet Review Hell to Pay was such a fun surprise. Between the magical heists, the Afterlife, and a crew of lovable misfits, this book hooked me almost immediately. The premise alone is incredibly creative, and it delivered the kind of fast paced adventure that kept me wanting to know what ridiculous situation the characters […]
