To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before follows the story of Lara Jean, a girl who has written love letters to all the boys she’s ever had feelings for. She keeps these letters tucked away and a secret to the world, until one day when they are sent out.
I found this book didn’t follow the usual cliché of a love story and had a bit of suspense throughout the novel. I liked how not only did the book explore love as a theme but also family relationships.
Lara Jean as a character I liked, she was a normal teenage girl experiencing normal feelings. One thing that did annoy me throughout the book was the fact that the father was referred to as ‘Daddy’ throughout the novel – this wasn’t a deal breaker but it did annoy me quite a lot.
The ending does leave you wanting more and I would like to pick up the second book in the series. The book is a nice, simple read that I did enjoy. I would recommend it, the characters and plot were interesting and I would like to know what happens next.
