This book started off the trilogy series for me and half way through, I knew I had to read the other 2 books. It reminded me so much of my own high school and college days. Lara Jean is 16, never had a boyfriend but had many “loves”. When she realizes nothing will happen, she’ll write them a “love letter”, seal it and put it in her hat box. But suddenly, the boys start receiving her letters and one of them is to her sister’s first love and recent ex-boyfriend. It sounds horrible, except it’s not because we follow the fake dating troupe of her and her first crush/kiss Peter K.

I really liked her relationship with her 2 sisters and widowed dad. Who they all still call “daddy”. They are half Korean/half white and Lara Jean describes Margot as “ she belongs to herself” as in she knows herself, confident and a leader, Kitty their youngest sister as “she belongs to no one” – strong willed and confident. She said of herself, “I believe to my sisters and my dad”. And you can see that she’s the sweetest, nostalgic of all 3 sisters.
