I was originally nervous about reading this one because it could go one of two ways, really good or just like every other teen romance out there. Lucky for me, it was a good one. Throughout the whole book, I thought I knew how it was going to end in one chapter only for my opinion to be changed the next one. I couldn’t figure out how it was going to end.
On the romance part of the novel, Lara Jean always writes love letters to the boys she loved. Five in total, none of the boys know about the letters or Lara Jeans love for them. Until the letters get sent out. One of the guys gives her back the letter and seems to forget about it until she literally leaps into his arms in the school hallway to get another one of the guys off her back about it. Unfortunately the other guy is her older sisters ex-boyfriend and her next door neighbor. Lara Jean comes up with a plan to fake date one of the guys in order to stay off the subject with the neighbor. I’ll let you guys read the book to find out what happens with that.
Family was also a big part of the book. Lara Jean and her sisters, Margot and Kitty, are all very close since losing their mom when Kitty was three. They are all close with their dad too, and they all regularly have family dinners and are really just best friends. When Margot goes off to college in Scotland, Lara Jean has to step up and run the house. And try and fight her feelings for the boy next door since he was Margot’s boyfriend. Don’t worry though, I’ll give you a spoiler…the book ends with a crazy sister fight that ends in hugging and crying and admitting they still love each other. Happy ending for them!
Overall, such a good read, I would recommend it to anyone. There is a sequel, called P.S. I Still Love You and I will be finding it and reading it soon. I’m sure it’s just as good as the first one!
