P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han REVIEW

Sequel to To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Summary:

Lara Jean didn't expect to really fall for Peter. They were just pretending. Until they weren't. And now Lara Jean has to learn what it's like to be in a real relationship and not just a make-believe one.
But when another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean's feelings for him suddenly return too.
Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?

My Thoughts:

This is one of those sequels that is well written yet isn't quite as good as the first one. This one seems like a filler book, it tidies up all the gaps from the first one. At least it isn't one of those mandatory weird sequels though.
Gen is hiding something, the boy we briefly saw in the first book returns for a 'love triangle', and Lara Jean is confused about everything. It seems to Lara Jean like Peter is cheating on her with Gen but it turns out he's just being there for her during a (very disturbing) family problem. We see John and Lara Jean reconnect, and find out he still has feelings for her (and she kind of does too, but she still loves Peter). She tries to reconnect with Gen, but Gen still has a grudge that Peter kissed Lara Jean while Gen liked him.
Anyway, this was a mess of a book, but worth reading if you want to see the loose ends from the previous book all tied up.

My Rating: 3.5 stars

The Apollyon Game REVIEW

My Thoughts:

This book was SUCH A GOOD READ. I loved it. The only problem with it was that it was too short and I think there could have been a lot of room for character development. The game itself was an interesting concept. I don't know if the author made it up or not, but if they did, it's genius. I would kind of want to play. It's like a twisted truth or dare, but better than the movie that came out last year. I really hope that the author continues to write more novels/novellas like this. I can see a very bright future for the author if they continue with well written and interesting stories. Definitely recommended.

My Rating: 5 stars
