To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, is a book written by Jenny Han. The book was released April 15, 2014. It is a three series romantic comedy which takes place in modern time.  The series became popular after Netflix made a popular movie based on the books.

“I enjoyed the book. The book maintained my attention whilst entertaining me at the same time. It provided a sense of romance and comedy that I found appealing and compelled me to read further into the series,” said Sharon Buell, a sophomore.

Laura Jean is the female lead in the novel. She writes letters when she feels she has a strong love connection to a boy. She addresses the note and she even put stamps on them, but never mails them. She does this because she wants to tell them how she feels, but never has the will power to send them.

“I believe To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before falls into the Romance genre. As you read the book you can pick up on small details that insinuate that the book is taking place in modern time. In technology, different concepts, and from how the Characters are described,” said Buell.

The book is modified to today’s day and age of teen romance. It gives teens unrealistic standards for love and relationships. That’s what really hooks the readers, when reading this novel. It gives them a sense of imagination that’s not far off from reality.

“While reading the book there were moments that changed my view on characters. For example, When Peter Kavinsky got mad at Laura Jean for being reserved and shy,” said Buell.

Peter Kavinsky is known as the nice popular guy, that every girl likes. He receives one of Laura Jeans letters that she wrote about him. They start having a fake relationship to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Eventually they fall in love, and have a relationship where they are comfortable around each other.

The novel is something many teen boys or girl will enjoy. It shows a connection between two people in a positive way. Most teens have a hard time experiencing that in high school.
