The MC does seem a lot younger than her age. :/

I think it's because there's going to be a second book.

I thought it was immature too.

[Tati]

I've finally started this, and this habit the characters have of calling the MC Lara Jean is a bit annoying. Why not just Lara? And I don't really like her, I think she is a bit shallow...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I didn't like her either. I expect everyone got in trouble for shortening her name previously so they have to use all of it! I know people like that!

[Tati]

It's just silly to me (then again, I don't have a middle name, like many Americans and British do).

I had to take a break from it, it's just not going anywhere, plotwise.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I didn't really enjoy it to be honest.

[Abi]

I didn't like it either. Too dull and predictable.

[Tati]

I'm thinking this a book we'll agree on LOL

[Abi]

Haha! :)

[Rachael]

Finally got to start this one today! My first thoughts were (view spoiler)[ Okay.. Writing things down to get them out is good but very risky cause who could get their hands on them?! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ "the think is, Chris and I understand each other, which I think counts for a lot more than people realize."
This quote is so true and I can definitely relate.. My best friend and I don't have much in common but she just GETS IT.. It makes all the difference! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ She's happy about the first day of school? Eck not me.. I always HATED that day! (hide spoiler)]

Well it sounds like she probably got a concussion when she fell and then she went to sleep which you are NOT supposed to do..

[Rachael]

Kitty was my first guess too but I think it's too obvious

[Rachael]

Chapter 31 (view spoiler)[ Okay so I'm enjoying this book kinda.. not much action but still a fun read. I think Laura Jane is taking it a bit far with the fake relationship thing.. She's just pushing Josh away when Josh is clearly the better guy for her... I would never date a guy like Peter K but I think him and LJ could end up being pretty good friends after going through all this.. She's pretty much telling him everything (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 29 Review Questions
1. What do you think to the pretend dating plan? - UGH hate it.. Recipe for disaster.
2. Do you like Peter or Josh? Josh! Def Jose
3. Do you think Lara Jean is doing okay now that her sister has gone to Scotland? I think their relationship will change permanently.

Very risky! Especially addressing them!

I think it was a subdural haematoma.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 31 [spoilers removed]"

Fake relationships are never a good idea.

[Rachael]

Chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ Okay Kitty is hilarious... I really like her. Also, I feel so bad for Josh. I just want to slap LJ and be like what are you doing! You're ruining your chances! Even though I should probably feel like it's wrong for her to like her sister's ex bf... But I have my reasons. Also, I really like how realistic this story is.. And current! The whole "banning Four Loko thing" literally JUST happened.. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 43 (view spoiler)[ The halloween bit is sooooo cute! The fact that Josh showed up as HP and Laura Jean is Cho Chang that's like... stupid cute. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Peter is confusing... Sometimes he's a total jerk but sometimes I think he's falling for her.. And visa versa.. I'm kinda bored but I have to know how it plays out. I also thing Gen is gonna pull something dramatic

[Rachael]

This would be the first Harry Potter reference I actually got because I hadn't read them before this year

Oh ya she definitely likes him...

[Rachael]

End of chapter 47 Discussion Questions:
4. Who do you think Lara Jean will end up with? I want her to end up with Josh but I know that could be weird in so many ways..
5. What did you think to the Harry Potter Scene? I was excited I finally understood an HP reference!
6. Are you enjoying the book? Yes! It's dull in some spots but I'm anxious to know what happens

[Rachael]

Chapter 50 (view spoiler)[ Okay I totally see what's going on here... Laura Jean is rebelling against everyone's expectation for her to be like Margot.. I think for that reason she is gonna end up with Peter because she's gonna be so insistent on "breaking the mold" (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 53 (view spoiler)[ that scene with josh was really cute... I definitely like him better. (hide spoiler)]

[Karrah]

So I just finished the book and I actually really liked it! It was slow for the first ten chapters but then I felt like it picked up at the ending. I really want to know what happens at the end, do you think there will be a second book?

[Rachael]

I didn't really like the ending... I wanted something more romantic and swoony

[Karrah]

There's going to be a second book so that's why I think the ending left off like it did and I kind of like how she did that

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yeah, the fact that there's a second book makes the ending make more sense.

[Rachael]

Yah that does.. I didn't know that haha

[Jenn]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I love how short the chapters are! and i'm hungry now haha too much references of food in this book! (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ What I loved with Jenny Han books are that it's so easy and quick to read. Ok if something like that happened to me in high school I would die. I just can't believe she kissed Peter to lie to Josh!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 36 (view spoiler)[ She should just told the trust before she hurt herself. By the way this book is addictive. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 62 (view spoiler)[ I have a bad feeling about this ski trip... I know Lara Jean will get hurt by Peter! Why can't she love Josh? (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

End (view spoiler)[ The end killed me... I want to know what she'll write in the letter and how Peter will react. I'm glad Peter choose her but I hope his ex won't cause too much trouble. It was good, easy too read and quick :) I needed that today. (hide spoiler)]
