BOOK REVIEW: Always and Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han
How many hands can I see up in the air who have watched the movie To All The Boys I've Loved Before? A true tear-jerker and a tickle to the funny bone too, it portrays the teenage love story of an Asian American and an all-too-familiar high school jockey character.
The movie which originated from the first book by the same name, this last book in a series of three (the second book being PS I Love You), concludes the love story of Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky.
Lara Jean is having the best senior year and there's still so much to look forward to: a class trip to New York City, prom with her sweetheart Peter, Beach Week after graduation, and her dad's wedding to Ms. Rothschild.
Then she'll be off to college with Peter in UVA, at a school close enough for her to come home and bake chocolate chip cookies on the weekends. Life couldn't be more perfect. At least, that's what Lara Jean thinks until she gets some unexpected news that she got admitted into UNC.
Now the girl who dreads change must rethink all her plans - but when your heart and your head are saying two diferent things, which one should she listen to?
The most emotional one in this series, it truly makes one understand that love definitely stands the test of time, age and distance being a tiny hurdle to let the essence flow through. The story also portrays that culture is held close to one's heart in the case of Lara Jean observing her Korean roots despite being born and raised in America.
A wonderful read that will make your heart a-flutter, this book is a pick-me-up at any moment for your reading pleasure. I received this book in a Christmas Book Exchange and my humble appreciation goes to Ms. Atiqah for this read which syncs with my emotional personality.
