Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - To All the Boys I've Loved Before

I wanted to pick this up as it used to be popular for many years, yet I never got to read it, and the spin-off series based on the youngest sister's story was interesting. Despite that, it just did not click: this is not a bad book, it's just not that interesting for me as I am not really in the YA age group anymore.

Th key issue for me was that the story line is too predictable. The style is not bad, but nothing much happens already for almost 100 pages in, and after skimming through the rest I felt like the plot is too simplistic anyway. I would have probably found it more engaging and relatable if I read it years ago when I was younger.

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.

"Margot would say she belongs to herself. Kitty would say she belongs to no one. And I guess I would say I belong to my sisters and my dad, but that won’t always be true. To belong to someone—I didn’t know it, but now that I think about, it seems like that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To really be somebody’s, and to have them be mine."

About what you'd expect from a teenage rom com. Pretty cute.
Margot and Josh make me unusually irritated though.

Quite a few inappropriate jokes throughout.

3 / 5 stars ⭐️

This rating is pretty biased because the last book I read was literally crap. I enjoyed this book. It was good. I didn’t love the ending, but it is what it is. All in all kinda meh-but if it was a rainy day and I was looking for a book to just kinda glaze through-I would choose this one.
Boom.
