To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
5.0
Every time Lara Jean is in love she writes a love letter to her crush, the only way she know how to express her feelings. Now 16 years old, she has written five letters including one to her sister's boyfriend, Josh. When her letters are sent out to their intended recipients, Lara Jean must arrange a fake relationship with popular, lacrosse player Peter in an attempt to save face in front of Josh. Always in control, Lara Jean finds her love life getting out of control as she develops unexpected feelings for Peter.
This is a really feel-good read. The characters are very developed and feel familiar by the end of the story. The short chapter length and fast pace make it engaging. I liked the relationship that develops between Lara Jean and Peter as he pushes her out of her shell a bit and surprises her with how thoughtful and kind he can be. The strong relationship between the Song girls adds depth to the story as well. I found Lara Jeans voice to be a little immature especially because she calls her dad "daddy" and mom "mommy". However, I think it fits with her innocent and naive character. The hyper-controlled and "perfect" energy of Lara Jean's life made me anxious. I do not think I would be friends with Lara Jean in real life, but I still enjoyed reading her story.
