It's her senior year, and Lara Jean has so much to look forward to - a class trip, graduation, prom, beach week, and her father's wedding. Everything is going according to plan, until she gets some unexpected news that will force her to rethink her plans.
💭 T H O U G H T S
I enjoyed being back in Lara's world, and this was a quick and easy read. Unfortunately, it didn't have much substance and contained a lot of fluff. I appreciated the baking aspect, as well as the references to Anne of Green Gables. The writing is somewhat juvenile, which contributes to the lighthearted nature of the entire trilogy.
I still loved Kitty's character, and I would definitely pick up a book written from her perspective. I also enjoyed getting a glimpse into the relationship between Mrs. Rothschild and each of the three Song girls, and how each evolved.
At the end of the day, this was a decent wrap up and the trilogy was definitely fun, but nothing earth shattering.
