“To all the boys I’ve loved before” is the first book in a new series of books Jenny Han started writing a couple of years ago. I read a couple of years ago her “Summer” trilogy and absolutely loved it, therefore I had to give this series a try.
Lara Jean has fell in love only a few times and every time she stopped feeling the same way she wrote a letter, it was her way of saying good-bye. Those letters were private, something the addressed in those letters should never read, however those letters got send and everything started to get crazy. Maybe things started to go nuts before the letters were sent probably when her big sister decided to go study abroad and leave her having to take care of her little sister Kit and her father. But going back into the letters one of those boys was her sister’s boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend, and in order to make him believe she did not care about him anymore she went into a fake relationship with Peter, another one of the boys in her letters and the stereotypical popular boy in school. Because that would make things much more easier, of course.
 “To all the boys I’ve loved before” reminded me why I loved the “Summer” trilogy so much. Jenny Han’s characters are quirky and easy to connect with, even if you do not have much in common with the character. I do not know how she does it but even when Lara Jean was doing the craziest thing, you would not do, you know why she is doing it and why she felt like she had to do it. Also I love how she does not show her other characters completely, how you just have to learn how they are little by little. The story itself is hilarious and really easy to get into.

I would definitely recommend this book and I cannot wait to read the sequel.
