Sequel to All the Boys I've Loved Before and P.S. I Still Love You
Summary:
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 boyfriend Peter, Beach Week after graduation, and her dad's wedding to Ms. Rothschild. Then she'll be off to college with Peter, 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.
Now the girl who dreads change mus rethink all her plans--but when your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?
My Thoughts:
While (in my opinion) unneeded, it was a nice wrap up to Lara Jean's story. It was also well written (as usual when written by Jenny Han).
Lara Jean gets unexpected news when she's not accepted into UVA but is accepted to UNC later on. Which makes almost no sense? She gets into a highly respected college but not the local one?
She and Peter nearly break up because his mom wants him to not give up his dreams for her. There's nothing worse than a parent that doesn't want her son to keep dating you just because he might give up the things he wants for you. That doesn't even happen! Turns out, Peter was only considering it and wasn't likely to do it!
Anyway, this book was surprisingly hard to put down.
I'd definitely recommend this trilogy to anyone who isn't normally a fan of romance novels.
My Rating: 4 stars

Girl Waits With Gun by Amy Stewart REVIEW
Summary:
When Constance Kopp and her sisters suffer a run-in with a ruthless, powerful crook, Constance leaves her quiet country life to team up with the local sheriff and exact justice. As a war of bricks, bullets, and threats ensues, Constance realizes that this raacketeer's history may be more damning than she thought, but now that she's on the case, he won't get away.
My Thoughts:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It starts out with humor before the Kopp sisters are run into by a car driven by Mr. Kaufman, a wealthy man in charge of a company who cares nothing for his workers or the people around him. Constance goes after him, at first just for the money he owes her sisters from the damage, but when he starts sending threatening letters and shooting into their windows, she goes to the police for help. In the midst of all this, she somehow is able to help another victim of Kaufman--one of his employees who was raped by him and got her child sent away. Constance goes to several orphanages around town to find the girl's son. At the end of the book, it seems like Kaufman was sent to jail, but it wasn't really clear on that. And there's a sequel that I can't wait to read!
I would definitely recommend giving this book a try. It is a historical fiction novel based on the adventures of a real person.
My Rating: 5 stars
