To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han, 368 pgs.
Lara Jean has never had a boyfriend, but she has had five great loves in her 16 years of living. For each of the boys she has loved, Lara Jean has written one letter to contain her deep feelings. She never intended for her letters to be read--for her feelings to be reciprocated or even known at all--but one day, she finds that they have all been sent, and their recipients have questions for her. Now, all of a sudden, Lara Jean is not only forced to deal with her new role as the oldest girl at home (while her older sister is in Europe for college), but she is also forced to confront the other side of her one-sided love stories. Could the life she has only fantasized about be hers for real?
As a fan of the movie, I knew most of what I was getting into before I started reading, but I was still pleasantly surprised. It is nice getting to know Lara Jean's thoughts and anxieties through her point of view, as well as seeing more of her relationships with her sisters. Jenny Han captures the awkward teenage girl experience well. Lovers of YA Romance will enjoy this new(er) classic.
