But now that I think about it, that seems to be all I’ve ever wanted. To be somebody’s and for them to be mine.
Even if she doesn't know the last one, Lara Jean is a hopeless romantic, shy, quirky, and strong-willed. When Lara Jean loves someone, she doesn’t tell them but writes them a love letter. It’s easier to play it safe, to let her feelings pour out onto paper. She holds nothing back; why should she? No one will ever see the letters. She stows them away in the safety of her beloved hatbox.
Lara Jean has written five love letters in her life. The letters range from the boy who stole her first kiss to her sister’s ex-boyfriend.
Lara Jean’s love letters are missing. They are no longer in the safety of her hatbox; they’ve been sent out.
Now Lara Jean is forced to face her biggest fear of being vulnerable and honest. Lara Jean will do anything to get out of that, and when Peter, the most popular boy in school, receives his letter and gives Lara Jean a proposition, she has no choice. Peter just got dumped by his girlfriend, and after learning Lara Jean is trying to avoid her sister's ex-boyfriend, Peter suggests they fake a date. It’s a win for both.
In true Lara Jean fashion, she writes out a contract for them both to go by. There are no gray areas, and no one gets lost in the acting. But what Lara Jean isn’t considering is that she lets her guard down for the first time and gets close to someone because why not? It’s not like it’s real or anything.
You know the feeling of when a random song comes on the radio, and it brings back all kinds of memories from your past or a smell that throws you back into a memory so strongly you feel like you’re reliving it? That’s what Han’s writing does to me. All the old feelings from high school come rushing back but in the best way possible.
This book makes me smile and giggle like a crazy person. This series is my comfort read. Suppose you’re in a rough patch, 1. I’m sorry, my friend, hang in there 2. Pick up one of Han’s series. You will instantly be swept away in the story. You’ll find a new friend in Lara Jean, you’ll find characters to root for, sweet memories will tug at the back of your mind that relate to what Lara is feeling, and even if it's just for a couple of hours, you will be transported to a better place. If you want to remember what first love feels like, this book is for you. If you want a book where the main character finds her voice, this book is for you. If you want all the happy feelings, what are you waiting for? Grab this book.
