This book totally stands out on my bookshelf, not only because the cover is so beautiful, but because it's made such a huge impact on my love life (if I even have one) and relationships in general. For the non-spoilery part of this review, I will say that it's definitely a Jenny Han book that want to start with. I feel like after I read this book, I kind of understood Han's entire life.

For the non-spoilery part of this review, I will say that it's definitely a Jenny Han book that want to start with. I feel like after I read this book, I kind of understood Han's entire life. It's like she was writing about her life, her family, her past crushes in this entire story, and it felt very true and honest. Development of plot is phenomenal and, boy, can Jenny Han really make a reader smile and smirk at the small, little things that take place in this book. Want to read this book? GO FOR IT 100%!

Some things about this book really ticket me off. By reading the synopsis of the book we know that someone sent her love letters out to the recipients, right? But the main problem I had was that the main character, Laura Jean, had no intention on finding out who sent the letters. I don't know why it bothered me so much but I just thought that in her shoes, I would be on a man-hunt to find out who would be that invasive as to send my own written love letters out there!!! It was weird about how calm she really was. In the end it was revealed anyways, but I still would have liked to have seen some effort there. I mean, they were the love letters that changed her entire life!

People say they hate Peter. I loved Peter. I loved loved loved him, maybe even more than I loved Josh. Peter was hilarious and smoking hot! He was such an enjoyable character, even though Josh was the more sincere one of the bunch. I can't help but say that I hated Margot's character. I feel like if she wasn't such a dark cloud over Laura's life, Laura would have been happy with Josh a long time ago. But you can't blame the heart because the heart wants what it wants *goes into singing the Selena Gomez song*

It's scary when it's real. When it's not just thinking about a person, but, like having a real live person in front of you, with, like, expectations. And wants."

Nov 12, 2014 Hannah rated it really liked it

This is my first Jenny Han book and with all the hype I had read and seen lately I was super excited to get into this book.

I didn't realise until I had to stop reading just how immersed I had become with this story, and I found myself itching to get back and finish it.

I'm sure most of you will know what this is about, but here's a quick synopsis

I love how the relationships are portrayed in this book, not just the ones between Lara and her crushes, but the family dynamics as well
