Popular Books I Didn't Like Part 5 (Last part for now!)

This will be the last of this series I will do in a while! Until I find more books I read in their entirety that I give one or two stars.

The main issue I had were the characters. They were all so unlikable! Except for Lara Jean's sisters Margot and Kitty. They were cool. The romance between Lara Jean and Peter was also so badly done, in my opinion. Most of the time they felt like coworkers who barely tolerated each other. I know they were fake dating for most of the book, b...
