I appreciated that this was innocent without being dishonest about teenage girl thoughts.
Unfortunately, I found it hard to root for Peter, though that may be due to the voicing of Peter being very lacklustre in the audiobook I listened to.
As an oldest sister, I liked the perspective of the middle sister.
I enjoyed the story, though so much of the ending felt dissatisfying.

This gurl writes letters to boys she like and then they got sent to the respective boys without her knowing, and know she is/was screwed
<spoilers> ngl Margorete and Josh were kinda a-holes towards the end, also Kitty, a 10 year old, has her life together than me, a 16 year old ;-;.
10/10 Dad 💫💫
Also good ending, and probably going good read next book :)

,,,,jenny han is very slick with that ending. since i had seen the movies and wasn't a huge fan of the 2nd one, i wasn't planning on reading any further than this first book. also i mainly read this bc the summer i turned pretty show came out and i wanted to read the book first, but i knew bc i had started reading this in 2018 and never finished, i wanted to tie up the loose ends. the way it doesnt end with any sort of resolution for the relationship between lara jean and peter 😭😭😭 like girl ‼️ now i have to read the second book! anyways if u catch me dnfing the sequel thats just cause idgaf abt john ambrose mcclarren

This is super cute. I usually don’t like romcoms, but I really enjoyed this. It is pretty predictable, but it is still entertaining and enjoyable. As much as I didn’t want to, it made me smile. However, I feel like Peter is wayyy more likable in the movies. He is just way more obnoxious in the books and it really pissed me off at points, but he came around eventually. For the book, I would’ve rather her ended up with Josh, but I digress. I still really enjoyed it.

Lara Jean Song keeps five love letters - one for every boy she's ever loved - in a box her mother gave her. She has poured out her heart in these letters, writing everything she's too afraid to say out loud, because they are for her eyes only. That is until her secret letters are mailed out and her love life utterly changes.

I was having some serious FOMO surrounding this book, so I finally took the plunge. Lara Jean felt so authentic and relatable, even though I'm in my early thirties. There is definitely nothing overly profound going on, but it's still a well written, sweet feel-good story. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Song family and their unique dynamic. At times, I wanted to transport myself into their cozy home.
This definitely had typical YA vibes, but I am definitely looking forward to continuing on with this series soon.

"When someone's been gone a long time, at first you save up all the things you want to tell them. You try to keep track of everything in your head. But it's like trying to hold on to a fistful of sand: all the little bits slip out of your hands, and then you're just clutching air and grit."
