4.0

I think I start out the year with a pretty generous rating. I really wanted to give this book a 3,5 but it was a nice read so I gave it a 4.

This book was surprisingly good. I enjoyed the plot, it was interesting but it could have been better. I knew that the final plot twist should have been mind blowing, but I was expecting it.

Lara Jean, as a character was pretty likeable, minus the childish behaviour like running away in the middle of the conversations, or saying things like "tippy toes", or crying for the smallest things. Maybe she wasn't that likeable if I really think about it. I really hope there will be some kind of character development throughout the second book because she needs it.

I hated Margot. She was so distant towards all the characters she presumably loved, she was really manipulative towards Lara Jean, and not as close to mature as she would think.

There were characters I've loved like Kitty for her cockiness and intelligence, and Peter for his multi sided personality.

All in all, this was a good, quick read, a really sweet story about teenage love, conflict and forgiveness.
