To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han is an absolute delight! This book had me grinning from ear to ear and feeling all kinds of giddy the whole way through. The story of Lara Jean Covey, a sweet and relatable high schooler whose secret love letters are accidentally sent to all her past crushes, is as charming as it gets. It’s a mix of romance, family, and self-discovery that keeps you hooked from the first page.
Lara Jean is a character you can’t help but root for. She’s awkward, thoughtful, and trying to figure herself out—traits that make her incredibly relatable. Her journey with love, identity, and family is heartwarming and real. And then there’s Peter Kavinsky! He’s charming, funny, and just the right amount of swoon-worthy. The chemistry between Lara Jean and Peter is absolutely magnetic, and their fake dating arrangement adds such an entertaining layer to the story. I found myself smiling like a fool during their interactions, especially as their feelings slowly shift from fake to very real.
The side characters, especially Lara Jean’s sisters, add so much depth to the story. The family dynamics in this book are just as important as the romance, and I loved seeing how the Song sisters support and challenge each other. The relationships between them felt authentic and meaningful, which added an extra layer of warmth to the book.
While I adored the story, I did find some of the pacing a little slow in the middle. However, that didn’t take away from how enjoyable and heartwarming the book was overall. It’s a perfect mix of lightheartedness and deeper moments that really sticks with you. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is such a fun, feel-good read that had me giddy throughout. It’s the kind of book that makes you believe in love, family, and second chances. If you’re looking for a sweet and romantic story, this one is definitely worth picking up!
