Well, it depends how much you like contemporary fiction! I think To All the Boys is better written, and I really adore Lara Jean and Peter's personalities. They're a lot stronger than Summer I Turned Pretty. Summer I Turned Pretty was really nostalgic and flip flopped from current summer to past summers. It's about a girl who has loved one boy for many years. Despite the title, it isn't too annoying that she suddenly turns pretty...She doesn't really believe it herself, and her self-discovery of it isn't the central idea of the book. Basically, this story is about growing up, realizing what you want in a relationship, and the importance of family. There's also a bit that surprised me because I was just enjoying a fluffy summer read. This wasn't too ridiculous though.
Overall: I'd suggest reading the To All the Boys I've Loved Before trilogy or first book before trying this one. It's just a better story with quirkier characters. :D
