Goodreads Summary:
To All the
Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted
her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it,
and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow
her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her
past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer
camp, even her sister’s ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past
loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of
these letters afterall.

My Thoughts:
I
would have been beyond mortified if I were Lara Jean. She was mortified but
overall I think she handled it so much better than I ever could have at that
age. Granted, she may have made a rash decision but it’s still better than
whatever my teen self would have done. Heck at any age having very personal
letters mailed out would be so insanely embarrassing! Kudos to Lara Jean for
taking charge.

Han makes you grow to love these characters so much so that it was hard to
leave them at the end. And what an ending it was! Ack! I wanted needed
more…just one more chapter…an epilogue…a novella…SOMETHING!! I’m very glad this
will be a duology…April cannot come soon enough!
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Great review, Jen! I've been curious about this book.
ReplyDeleteI got this book and then realized it wasn't a stand alone so I was afraid to read it because I hate open endings especially if there's a romance involved. But I can handle a duology.
ReplyDeleteJust a warning to you both, it's a bit triangly. I don't think either of you are really a fan of that
