Welcome Welcome~~ How is your day? Today I will review the sequels of 'To All The Boys That I've Loved Before'.
When I finished reading the first book, I just realized that I keep thinking about the sequel from that novel. After that, I decided to buy the collection of this novel (even I already have the first series), because I searched for the other sequel books but they are not available and only the collection that available. Later, I read 'P.S I Still Love You' for only 2 weeks (the day I started to read is the midterm exam, so I have to manage my time from reading and study). Whenever I attend my class and read this novel, my friends said that I shouldn't smile while reading because a lot of people think that I was crazy, and I was when I read. Why?
P.S I Still Love You *contains To All The Boys I've Loved Before spoilers*
The first sequel, P.S I Still Love You, is talk about Lara Jean who didn't expect to fall in love 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?
From this book, I learned that when we have a hot head, please don't make any decisions, because those decisions that you made you will regret later. Lara Jean made once, and she regrets it. However, in the end, she can admit her fault and happy ending. Of course, this is a novel, so the main character's life will be happy ending (depends on the author), but we can avoid that by make decisions in the cold head.
I also learn that it's OK to make different friends, even with someone who older from you, like make friend with the elderly. The reasons are the elderly already went through a lot of things and they can give you advice from their perspective or base on their experiences. Lara Jean made one elderly friend, called Stormy. She gave a lot of advises to Lara Jean and make her a better person and know how to deal with make a decision, especially with guys.
I learn about underwhelming feelings when we lost someone who means a lot for us. When my grandpa passed away, I was 3rd or 4th grade of elementary schools and it was an exam period. I still remember I didn't want to study just want to be at my grandpa's place. Until now, sometimes I still remember him and miss him. I do dream about him until now. This feeling is exactly the same when Lara Jean lost her Stormy (yes, this is kind of spoilers though, sorry) and it feels nice to know that I am not alone when this feeling consumes me.
Here conversation between Lara Jean and Stormy that I love:
Stormy leans in close and says, "Lara Jean, just remember, the girl must always be the one to control how far things go. Boys think with their -you-know-whats. It's up to you to keep your head and protect what's yours."
"I don't know, Stormy. Isn't that kind of sexist?"
"Life is sexist. If you were to get pregnant, you're the one whose life changes. Nothing of significance changes for the boy. You're the one people whisper about. I've seen that show, Teen Moms. All those boys are worthless. Garbage!"
"Are you saying I shouldn't have sex?" This whole time, Stormy has been telling me to stop being such a stick-in-the-mud, to live life, to love boys. And now this?
"I'm saying you should be careful. As careful as life and death, because that's what it is." She gives me a meaningful look. "And never trust the boy to bring the condom. A lady always brings her own."
I cough.
"Your body is yours to protect and to enjoy." She raises both eyebrows at me meaningfully. "Whoever you should choose to partake in that enjoyment, that is your choice, and choose wisely. Every man that ever got to touch me was afforded an honor. A privilege."
Seriously, from this, I learned that we must have a safe-sex. And you girl, you have to choose your partner wisely, not just because you want it or he wants it you can do that. Your body is your choice, you want to get sex than be safe, you don't want to sex and it's your choice. If you ready to get pregnant, then do it without a condom. BUT if you just want to do it for fun, please use a condom to avoid things that you don't want to happen, like being parents, or STDs.
So thank you for reading my review and I hope you'll enjoy it. If you have any questions please comment and I will happy to see your comments.
