By - Jenny Han
Publication - April 15th 2014 by Simon Schuster Books for Young Readers

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. 


The Rating :





My Review:

My review in a gif. Which equals 5 stars.

The Cover:
Although they say never judge a book by it's cover I believe the cover should represent what the book is going to be like or at least some aspect of it.

This book cover is so awesome. There’s the main character, Lara Jean, on her bed with a disco ball in one corner, a white background, and the really cool script font in something that looks like sharpie.


The Story:
It's a story about a teenage girl, Lara Jean, whose big sister, Margot, goes off for some studies (???) and gets to be in charge. While she has to take care of her little sister, and help her father around the house her hat box filled with love letters she has written for certain boys in her life goes missing.
They start appearing and chaos. But with the help of one of the boys she wrote a letter too she manages to sift things around.


Relationships:
There were more than one couples, and relationships in this book but I will only talk about one of them.

Lara Jean x Peter
Even if their story was a “let pretend to be together” story, I liked them as a couple. And as things progressed they changed as well. I like that.


Family Dynamics:
As for Lara Jean’s family.
They were really together and supportive. The father was there, and he cared, and despite losing his wife early on he didn’t quit his family like most stories I’ve read, or heard about in real life. He didn’t give them up, he took care of them. 
I also liked that they mentioned the mother as being caring, and the energy of the house.
The sisters are adorable. They stick together no matter what. My favorite was Kitty. She is so adorable.


Settings:
As for my favorite settings in this story I’d have to say that I liked their home most of all. Partly because it's the place I  most remember, but also because it felt warm whenever the parts I was reading were on the home.
If that makes any sense?


Overall:
I really wish I had written this review when I finished reading the book, but sadly I did not. So I don’t remember much of the things I wanted to say here. 

I was a bit adamant about reading this book since it is a series, but when my friend offered it to me, after reading it, I had to give it a shot. I was quickly glad I did because I loved it. I loved the Song girls, the boys, and the entire story was just perfect. I actually remember screaming at the end because I wanted more. So you could say I will definitely read the second book in the series, if I can get my hands on it.
