To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han Review

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han is about a girl named Lara Jean who has written a love letter to every boy she has ever liked and keeps them in a special hat box. Never to be seen by anyone but Lara Jean herself. When one day during her dad's spring cleaning, she finds her hatbox missing and her letters sent.


To All the Boys I've Loved Before definitely wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting a lot more drama than there actually was. I went into the book thinking that once the letters have been sent, she would go back to her school and everyone would know who she had ever liked and how personal the letters actually were. I went in expecting to feel a lot of anger towards most of the characters and a lot of embarrassment for Lara Jean. I was wrong.

In the beginning we focus more on her older sister, Margot leaving for college then the actual letters themselves. Then we move onto boys and the letters (still without too much drama or embarrassment), back to Margot, boys and we end with boys.

With Han's short chapters and easy to read writing style, it's not too difficult to fall in love with To All the Boys I've Loved Before. I read this for a read-a-thon for the category of 'new to you author' and I rate it 4/5 stars.
