To all the boys I've loved before by Jenny Han 355 pages
This is a young adult novel. Sixteen- year-old Lara Jean has written love letters to 5 boys. Boys she, at one time or another, thought she was in love with. Letters she kept, never intending to mail. Now, her younger sister Kitty, as an act of revenge, has mailed the letters. Whoa! It took me a really long time to get into this book. It ended up being a story about high school reputations. Are you a cool jock? Are you the school slut? Are you a quirky nerd? Are you the mean girl? What happens when the quirky nerd starts going out with the school jock, the ex-boyfriend of the mean girl? Can she swim with the sharks? It also illustrates how easily a good reputation can be ruined by a mean rumor. Will I recommend this book? Doubtful. It was okay, just not something to get real excited about.
