BY JENNY HAN

Lara-jean song is half Korean,she is also innocent,she has always had a hopeless romantic life , she is caring and compassionate,and also trusting. Lara-jean song has written other books like “P.S I STILL LOVE YOU”,” THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY “ and so on. The theme of this book can be said to be love can make people do crazy things. Or people may not be the same as they may seem.

The story is about a girl who is named Lara-jean song, who puts love letters in an old hat box given to her by her mother, the love letters are been addressed to all the boys she has ever been in love with, even though she has never being in a real relationship. When the unbelievable happened, when the letters in the hat box was sent to all the boys, all she thought was how she was going to face them.

Lara-jean’s personality-naive when it comes to boys. The major boys who Lara jean can't face are Josh and Peter. Josh is the boy who lives next door and who is also in a relationship with Lara- jean’s sister(Margot), and who is also seen as a part of the family. And for Peter who is the most handsome and popular boy in school. When she knew the letters got to them she has being avoiding them , and for Josh she kissed him and doesn't want her sister(Margot) to know. Peter who she was having a pretence relationship with started falling in love with her, and she ended up almost having sex with him in a public bath tub of a camp, the next day the rumor came that she had sex in a camp public toilet with peter who is the most popular boy at school.

What struck me when Lara-jean found out her sister(Margot) had sex with Josh and knew that was the reason they broke up.

I liked the book because the story was enjoyable, the characters were easy to relate to, the pace was fast enough to keep a reader interested but still slow enough to make sense. The book was written based on her love of writing long love letters to boys who she had had crushes on.

Lara-jean song wrote the book for herself, and I think readers who like romantic novel would love to read the book because it's interesting.
