To All the Boys I've Loved Before

The book To All the Boys I've Loved before by Jenny Han is the first in the trilogy, followed by P.S. I Still Love You, and Always and Forever , Lara Jean.  I loved this book so much because, it was very realistic, beautifully written, the best romantic novel ever written and I love how one thing flowed into another so perfectly but also how well it reflected the conflicts of young adults today.

One of the main characters, Lara Jean writes a letter to every boy that she has ever loved and she puts them into envelopes and stamps them and doesn't send them, but instead keeps them in a box that her deceased mother had given her. Out of the blue they get sent, and coincidentally one of the boys she loved is her older sister Margot's ex-boyfriend, Josh. The whole family loved Josh, especially Kitty, the youngest sister of the three who herself might've had a crush on him. Lara Jean still has a small crush on him, but that would be wrong because Josh belongs to Margot even though they're broken up. One of the boys she use to loves name is Peter K, so to make things between her and Josh not awkward she says Peter K is her boyfriend. Peter goes along with it because he wants to make his ex-girlfriend Gen jealous. Peter and Lara Jean start hanging out in public to make themselves look like an actual couple. Josh doesn't like that. Peter and Josh almost get into a fight over Lara Jean and Kitty confesses to something that lead to Margot and Lara Jean getting into a fight for the very first time.

I loved this book because of how real it felt. It wasn't anything like a cliché movie like how some of the other romantic novels are written, besides the fact about how the letters get sent out this isn't a cliché at all. But besides that everything that happened in the book could happen in real life and that's what I loved the most, it's realness. I would recommend this book to anyone, because I normally don't read this genre of books, but I loved it anyway. I mainly read adventurous books however I loved this realistic romantic nonetheless. Everyone should try reading this book because it's worth the time and effort, again I don't typically read this genre of book but it was amazing and I'm glad I read it, you should read it too!
