Reading is one of the things that makes me happy and keeps me busy. 🙂 Today I’m going to write a review about the book, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. A young adult novel published in 2014 and is written bu Jenny Han. The first book to the sequel with P. S. I Still Love You. (credits to Wikipedia)
The simple life of Lara Jean Covey started to whirl when the love letters she wrote for the boys she thought she loved (which were really not intended to be sent to its recipients) has been sent by her playful sister, Kitty.
Lara Jean is close to her sisters Margot (the eldest) and Kitty (the youngest), they call themselves “The Song Girls” in which they have used their deceased mother’s maiden name.
She had a crush on Josh, the longtime boyfriend of Margot. When Josh figured her feelings to him (through the letter she had written), Josh admitted that he first had a crush on Lara Jean. Lara Jean learned that her sister still had a feelings for Josh so she decided to pretend that she didn’t like him anymore. She plotted a fake relationship with Peter Kavinsky (one of the boys she had written a letter) and pretended they are lovers.
After all the pretensions of having a relationship, Lara Jean failed to notice that Peter really do care for her and Kitty spilled the beans for her but its quite late because she pushed Peter away.
I super enjoyed reading this book! It really feels light, good, and makes me turn back to my teenage years. It reminded me the days where I thought having a crush on someone is already falling inlove and the “kilig” feeling of having young love. 😍This is the kind of book that you can never get enough off, and be excited on what else it has to offer. 😂
Sometimes, we always thought that we still have the feelings for that same person we loved for the very long time when actually, its just the memories of being in love is what we are clinging to. When we are in that state of emotion, we fail to open our eyes and hearts to others, because we are clouded by the love we thought we always had. There are times, we never realized that the one person we are waiting for our entire lives, has already arrived and you will just pay attention the moment they are starting to leave us…
Will true love find its way for Lara Jean and Peter? We’ll see on its sequel: P.S. I Still Love You
