I think I'll join you guys! I reread the first two books in the beginning of the year, and I've been meaning to reread the last one!

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

That sounds like so much fun! I'd love for you to join, May!

[Sophie , Group/Buddy Reads Procrastinator]

Can I join?

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

Hey everybody! First of all, I'd just like to say again how excited I am to do this buddy read with you!

I just finished the first 110 pages, and it's pretty good. I knew they were in VA, but I had no idea they were in Charlottesville! I like all of the little things about it that were written in, such as Bodo's Bagels. I also really like all the Harry Potter and Hamilton references!

[May]

I plan on starting this today!

I read the first 11 chapters and I'm enjoying this as much as last time! And I agree, the Harry Potter and Hamilton references are awesome!

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

Oh my gosh, so much happened in today's chapters! (view spoiler)[Stormy! Why?? I love her! Also, UNC seems like the place to be for Lara Jean, I hope she and Peter figure it out. (hide spoiler)]

I know!! (view spoiler)[ I always find that part of the book to be sad. Stormy was an awesome character!! I did like Lara Jean's speech she came up with for the memorial service. Also, I'm surprised I forgot which university she ends up picking but I have a feeling UNC will be the better fit. (hide spoiler)]

Just finished. It was a pretty good conclusion, but it wasn't really anything special. I think I'm going to go with a solid three-star. I'll post the review here when I finish!

Oh my gosh I just realized this buddy read was supposed to start on the 23. I'm so sorry! I guess I put it on my calendar wrong :|

That's alright! The book is a quick read anyways, so it's fine if everyone doesn't read around the same time.

I finished this book today and I decided to keep my rating. Mainly because of the nostalgia factor from when I first read this 😂 I do prefer this book over the second one and I like the way it concluded.

I'm so excited for this movie to come out!! Its rare for me to think the movie is better than the book, but with this series, I feel that this is the case!
