To All the Boys I've Loved Before
To All the Boys I've Loved Before, (To All the Boys I've Loved Before Trilogy, Book 1), by Jenny Han
Blurb:To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.My ReviewFirstly, I love the cover of this book and I've been meaning to read it for a while, especially since I really enjoyed the film. This was a cute, fluffy, easily readable story. Personally, I felt it was a little flat in places, for example the 'romance', although faked for most of the book, didn't really do it for me, nor did the friendships that were portrayed. Honestly, the best relationship in this book was the ones between sisters, it was relatable and true and very endearing in places. I did like Peter in this book, although he was an arse in places, but I have to say I preferred him in the movie.Still, I'm keen to read the next book in this series, as I want to see how Lara Jean and Peter are together as an actual couple...
My favourite quotes from 'To All the Boys I Loved Before': 'Kitty doesn't have one memory of Mommy that we haven't given her.' 'There's no waffling, no regrets. It's like she said: when she's done, she's just done.' 'Margot doesn't see the point in wondering. This is our life; there's no use in asking what if. No one could ever give you the answers.' 'I wonder what it's like to have that much power over a boy. I don't think I'd want it; it's a lot of responsibility to hold a person's heart in your hands.' 'I'm betraying my own sister, and there's no greater betrayal than that.''It doesn't matter that they're broken up. He was hers first, which means he's hers always.' ' "...you're stalling because you don't want to answer the question." "I answered it, you just didn't like my answer." ' ' "If people knew you, they would love you." He sounds so matter of fact.Josh, you break my heart. And you're a liar. Because you know me, you know me better than almost anybody, and you don't love me.' 'Sisters are supposed to fight and make up, because they are sisters and sisters always find their way back to each other.'
