i mean i liked this book but some of the characters are just way better in the movie. like peter is kind of rude and not understanding when lara jean tries to explain things. and i absolutely HATE josh in this book. like he's barely in the movie and i wish he was barely in this book. when he kissed lara jean WITHOUT HER CONSENT i wanted to lose my marbles. it was still a nice read and i don't regret reading it in anyway. it filled up my 10 hour road trip and i'm really glad for that.

Another basic book where the female main character clearly hates other women and has a lot of internalised misogyny. Uses a lot of “not that kind of girl” type statements and slut shaming. The main love interest, Peter, is unbearable especially SPOILERS——————————
when he literally cheats and lies to her with his EX GIRLFRIEND. And she forgives him still. She just seems very much a pushover and has no depth which is disappointing coming from a female author.
