With the release of the To All the Boys P.S. I Still Love You on Netflix this week I decided to give in and read the series. I really liked the first movie in 2018 but didn’t pick the books up then.

Luckily the box set came back in stock and I was able to binge read the series last week. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (4.75 Stars) Lara Jean Covey lives in […]
