Always and Forever, Lara Jean

By: Jenny Han

Narrated by: Ali Ahn

Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins

Publisher's Summary

Lara Jean's letter-writing days aren't over in this surprise follow-up to the best-selling To All the Boys I've Loved Before and P.S. I Still Love You.

Lara Jean is having the best senior year a girl could ever hope for. She is head over heels in love with her boyfriend, Peter; her dad's finally getting remarried to their next door neighbor, Ms. Rothschild; and Margot's coming home for the summer just in time for the wedding. But change is looming on the horizon. 

And while Lara Jean is having fun and keeping busy helping plan her father's wedding, she can't ignore the big life decisions she has to make. Most pressingly, where she wants to go to college and what that means for her relationship with Peter. She watched her sister Margot go through these growing pains. 

Now Lara Jean's the one who'll be graduating high school and leaving for college and leaving her family - and possibly the boy she loves - behind. When your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?

Poor Narrator

While I enjoyed the series, and am a true fan of audiobooks through and through, I had a very hard time enjoying this one. The caption says it’s narrated by Ali Ahn, who breathed life into Han’s characters, but this book is not narrated by Ahn. And that kind of ruined the whole experience for me.

Different narrator was disappointing

Lauren Knight-Keating was the narrator of this one - the audible description is wrong. Different from the first two books, her voice significantly changed the characters, making them sound like 5 year olds. I almost had to stop listening because she made Lara-Jean sound so incredibly childish. It’s bad enough the author chose to have teen girls over the age of 17 calling their parents “mommy” and “daddy” and then talking about having sex in the very next sentence but hearing it in the little girl voice made it even more disturbing. All 3 stories were good but I hope girls today don’t actually follow boys around like lost puppies, excusing any/all terrible behavior. That was hard to listen to at times - have some self respect girls!! Don’t be a doormat!! Drinking half a cocktail shouldn’t make you throw up for 24 hrs straight either - I don’t care how much of a lightweight you are. Very exaggerated unrealistic situations. That said, the series was worth a listen overall and I can see why teen girls are drawn to these books.

so happy yo have finished this

I love everything about this story. Peter is so endearing. and I love that they have worked through all the troubles of a hard relationship. I will be listening to more Jenny Han stories in the future!

Such a great series

I listened to this whole series and loved it so much. It was sweet and fun, yet had real themes and definitely made me tear up a few times. I’m a 40ish year old mom and really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend the whole audio series. Start at the beginning with “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before”

Amazing

I have just completed the last published book in the Laura Jean series. It is so good but it’s so unfinished. Currently it is spring of 2020 and the fourth book has not been released although it is in the works. This is a great book for teenagers and you will not regret reading the series.

Love this book!!

I loved this book it was so so good I loved Lara Jean and Peter I loved the summer beach week a little sad but still good! I highly recommend this book for and teenage ps to read this book!

Best book ever

Loved this last chapter love Lara Jean and Peter
Together ALWAYS AND FORVER love love❤️

Lots of loose ends

I watched the 2 movies at netflix before i read the 3rd book in the hope that the ending will be at least live up to the story line. I guess i should have read or listened to the book itself or wait for the 3rd movie release so km not so disappointed. This has been the most chapter i have listened to this month compared to other novels and i was expecting that the story will follow through with the title. I felt like the graduation gift of her Dad and her start at college could have been on the last few chapters, i felt so rushed to the ending with so many questions on mind. I just felt the story focused so muchnon their fear of the future and didn’t really justify how always and forever will be possible. An epilogue or a book 4 might be need to put justice on this book. It was not as exciting as the first 2 books and story was so predictable. Kind of disappointed given their intense love story.... this could have been a good romcom. I just felt like Peter and Lara Jean didnt have so many times spent together as a real couple. With a love that huge, they actually didnt do so much as a couple but please everyone else around them. I was looking forward to fun things they did as a couple or cute little fights that deepen their relationship and slme getting to know each other stories as a couple. Focusing on Other peopled opinion and acting the way theyre pleased is just not the lesson i would like to impart with my teens going to college and how to get into a serious relationship. Just lots questionable scenes on this story that could have been about the couple and not too much of the other people and lots of loose ends.

Love this story

I cried at least three times. I love this young girl point of view. Takes you back to when you were that age.

wow

one of my favourites! i really love the growing of the characters in this book

Not narrated by Ali Ahn

Not narrated by Ali Ahn that spoiles the book from the first second of listening so disappointed.
