3.0
The final book in the To All The Boys trilogy follows Lara Jean as she finishes out her senior year of high school. Struggling with college acceptances, getting excited for Prom, and all the other drama that always seems to follow Lara Jean this book closes out her high school experience only the way she would.
Age Rating: 13+
This is an okay ending to the trilogy. Jenny Han really brings out the high school senior experience of stress over college, whether to continue a high school romance and brings it together with the things going on at home both in Peter K's life and Lara Jean's. It, unfortunately, falls a bit flat because it's as if all of the loose ends from the series need to be wrapped up by the end, instead of letting a few things be left to the reader's imagination. And for a book that mostly takes place during the last few months of high school, there is very little of the actual school involved in the book. Overall it feels true to the first two books and the characters built in them, but the things Jenny chose to focus on feel a bit disjointed.
