Review:
Firstly, might I just mention that Jenny Han is one of my favourite contemporary romance authors ever. Also, I originally read the Summer Trilogy about a week before the release of To All The Boys I've Loved Before and I absolutely adored it so I went to purchase To All the Boys I've Loved Before and boy was I not disappointed.
The novel focuses mainly on the life of a teenage girl Lara Jean, who is the middle child in the family and has two sisters, Kitty and Margot, her younger and older sister respectively. Basically, the premise of the story is that she has a hatbox her mother gave her in which she puts all her 'love letters' that she has written to boys she has loved before. However, she has never sent them at all, she just writes them to express herself. One day, the letters
accidentally get sent to these boys and Lara Jean has to deal with the
consequences of them knowing she used to like them.
I found the entire concept of the letters really sweet and the fact that Lara Jean poured all her emotions on paper rather than telling the boy was pretty bittersweet. On the whole, this book was really just sweet. So so sweet!
I honestly cannot wait for the next book, "P.S. I Still Love You". I need more of Peter! And Josh! And Everyone! Overall I think this is my current favorite contemporary of 2014. I would recommend it to anyone who needs some love in their life, some sweetness, and a feel of first love again.
So go get this book and start reading now! 5 stars all the way! <3
