Summery:
Lara Jean keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren't love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she's written. One for every boy she's ever loved--five in all. When she writes, she can pour out her heart and soul and say all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly Lara Jean's love life goes from imaginary to out of control.
My Thoughts:
I picked up this book at my library, wondering why everyone seems to love it. A few hours later I have finished it, and wish that I also picked up the sequel.
Now, I normally hate romance novels. I cannot stand John Green's books (except for The Fault in Our Stars) and generally avoid the genre all together. But this book was nice. It wasn't just centered on romance, it also centered on Lara's relationship with her family and friends. Honestly, Lara is kind of like me. Except, I've never been kissed, never had a boyfriend (not even a fake one, only an imaginable one). But I can definitely relate to her reactions of when her personal secrets are revealed. I could never be able to tell someone I'm in love with that I love them, not even in a letter.
At first I was rooting for Josh...but now I want her to have Peter. This book is such an emotional rollercoaster.
Anyway, I do recommend giving it a try, even if you don't like romance novels.
My Rating: 4 stars
