"I have a feeling I'm not done-done yet, that there's still more I need to say, I just haven't thought of it yet." (59) + "The way it happens is a strange sort of serendipity." (84)
I don't know if I can thank Lara Jean enough for letting me inside her world (and also my friend Bibia who lent me this series), specially when I almost couldn't bare to stare at my own. I've felt like I've disappointed my teenager self a bit over the past few years when we talk about being a bookworm, so worried or busy or not having the gut to concentrate on reading anything that wasn't academic so I almost couldn't read at all. But I've somehow remembered why I like books so much. They truky do make us fall in love and still keep flying. (Almost )Whatever they talk about, they have a way of making that our passion too. Specially when they talk about falling in love itself. I might be 25 now, but I see a lot of myself in Lara Jean. Also a lot of the "old me", when I was around her age but, as strange as it may seem, I still see a lot of the "actual me" on her, because maybe that's the thing about falling in love, it always makes you feel like it is your first, like you don't know anything at all. And that's what this story has done with me. I felt it with the movie before, but I had no idea that I could fall even more in love with this story trough the book – actually, I think I had haha Maybe I had a glimpse of that, but not at all. Sorry – and thank you – for that, Lara Jean. Sorry for falling in love with your onesie, but thanks for reminding me how I have missed falling in love with a book, with a story. And, God, for reminding me – once again – how I miss falling truly in love. And how I adore to see night turn on to day while finishing a book – and running to see its movie (again) straigh away (even if when I have class by the morning). Thanks for lendind me Peter for that. He's Handsome Face really is what everyone could possibly want. So if you want those feelings around, take this story with you and remind to let it be. And that this is only the beginning...
ps. Something about it reminds me of Taylor Swift's songs, what just makes everything even MORE greater.
