This was an okay finish to the series. It was mostly struggles with lara jean and picking colleges and just going through normal 'what do I do now' that you go through when you're a senior. I honestly feel that lara jean should've just not ended up with anyone and maybe in an epilogue she meets another person that got her letter that would be a great ending haha

I really did not like the first book in this series but it got better and better. This book made me jump with joy, I really loved it.

What a sweet story. This was the perfect conclusion to such a sweet series. I laughed and cried as Lara Jean faced the end and the beginning. It brought back all of the emotions of my own graduation. It’s true, you never forget high school. This book was emotionally resonant, beautifully written, and I will always love the characters.
I’m hoping for the best for Peter and Lara Jean, but I agree with the title. I will never forget Lara Jean.

Okay. So what did I think of Always and Forever, Lara Jean..? I did like it, but it still wasn't what I had expected, at all. However, I really liked a lot of things. Most characters were likeable, the writing was great (simple and light in a way), as always when it comes to Jenny Han. And it is relatable on many levels.
I'm happy that Lara Jean in the second half of the book made decisions based on herself, without thinking as much about Peter. She felt more confident than in the first and second book, and I really enjoyed her dialogues and thoughts much in this book. All the baking though. It's not really up my alley, but what can I do? It is a huge part of Lara Jean.
The lack of a real major conflict, and much drama, was really enjoyable in my opinion. But I still think that the ending was a little hurried with Lara Jean and Peter making up. The small amount of drama that did exist in the book came at the same time, and that was sort of in the end. Just letting you know.
I had a few issues with some things though. First, I'm not a fan of some parts of the story. The premise was very intriguing, with college and all, and I really missed that. I wanted her to literally go to college, but that wasn't included in the story, unfortunately. Also, I didn't like the wedding part either. I could really feel Margot on that subject, and that's probably why I didn't like it. And further, the father is very strict with Lara Jean, something that bothered me a bit.
But all in all, it was a good last book to a lovely series. I liked the first and second book more, but I still recommend to read all three books.

The good thing about this book is that it made Lara Jean somehow more mature in dealing with her relationship with Peter, her father, friends, and most especially with her sister, Kitty. Looking back, it wasn't all Lara Jean—the credit's due to everyone around her that made her more practical in decision making, people like Chris, Margot, and Kitty.
Although I did not like the resolution of the plot, I would have to admire Han for giving her readers something hopeful yet open-ended when the time comes.
This was a light read and a good one, and would recommend this to people who enjoyed the works in Wattpad or those who want to take a break from the heavy readings from their subjects lol.
