Our view

“Always and Forever, Lara Jean” ends the trilogy warmly, and it is at its truest on the last months of school and the wait for university answers. Peter, romantic and ready to own his mistakes, is much of the appeal. Readers differ on how it compares with the first book; nobody should come to it without the earlier two.
