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 must rethink all her plans—but when your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?



Review:
Hello, readers! This review it's a tad different because it's in English.  Yeah, probably freaking out. I'm freaking out, as well. What's going on? Well, I don't know. But let's enjoy the fact that it's in English.

First of all, reading this book took me more time than I thought, and it wasn't because I wanted to but because I was (still I am, probably) in a slum reading...  Okey, I just finished the book and I still don't know how I feel about it. Being honest, that book doesn't add that much to the story. I mean, if Jenny Hann says that she was thinking about Lara Jean and Peter K. and what would it be, I expect something more specific and not that end, AGAIN. Like this conclusions doesn't add that much to the story and has no impact on the overall story. And compared to the other books, Always and Forever is my least favorite one. But, even that, I still love this book because it's Lara Jean and Peter K., and that's enough reason for me.

In this book, I can see Lara's change, she's not that little girl living in her pink world. However, in my opinion Peter is still the same guy we saw in the very first two books. I don't like Peter K. that much, as you probably guessed, but don't hate him either. But, let's take a moment to think about John Ambrose McClaren and how beautiful it's this name. I wished Lara Jean ended up with John instead of Peter K. because I just loved how sweet he is to Lara Jean and how mature he looks and seems. I wish I had a John Ambrose McClaren in my life, but wish me luck. sigh sigh sigh

Jenny's writing style is great, you don't get bored at all while you're reading the book and it's creepily brilliant how swift and fast can the reading be. But, this book probably lacks on a solid plot. I mean, I can see where is all the thing going to, but still, it looks like something isn't right at all. Things were happening too fast.... There were too many things happening that in the end were loose or little worked.

In conclusion, I had the best time reading (and rereading... and rereading...) this trilogy and I just loved the story. One of my favourite contemporary books of all time!

I give to Always and Forever, Lara Jean a 4.5/5 stars!

**So I hope you did enjoy this review. English it's not my native language but I'm aware that I have some readers that speak english, and it doesn't cost me anything to add some of the posts in English so that it reaches more people. Of course, if I have committed any mistake at the time of writing or expressing then I am sorry.
