Lara Jean is a teenager who has an older sister Margot and
a little sister
Kitty. Their mother passed away nine years before the
events in TO ALL
THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE. So basically it's Margot who
looks after
the family. In the start of the book, Margot goes away to
Scotland for
college. And thus the responsibility of her Dad and little
sister Kitty falls on
Lara Jean's shoulder. Their mother taught them to always
take care of
family first and the girls learned well. Can I just say I
fell in love with their
little sister Kitty? She is such a great kid and the
things that come out of
her mouth is hysterical.
Every time Lara Jean has been in love or has a serious
crush on someone,
she writes a letter to the guy telling them how she feels
(and how she
gets over those feelings). She addresses the letters, but
never sends
them. They are meant to help her get over the guys, not
to actually be
sent to the world. But when Peter, her first kiss and one
of the most popular
boys of the school, comes to Lara Jean with a letter in
his hand, she quickly
realizes that something bad has happened.
Somehow, her letters have
been sent and now the guys know about her feelings. Some
of the letters
she can brush off more easily, but there are two that she
has a hard time explaining - two guys that make her
question her actions and emotions. Why
would you leave letters like that somewhere where someone
could find
them?
All of the characters in TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE
feel very
real but it was Lara Jean's personality that struck a
deep chord with me.
She has always lived inside her hopelessly romantic mind,
another element
of the story I quickly identified with. She's written love
letters to the boys
she's been in love with, but they're more like personal
journal entries to
herself as a send off for when it's time for her heart to
move on. Those
letters were never intended to be read, by anyone, so when
they
accidentally get mailed to each boy, it becomes a mess
bigger than any mess before!
I wasn't super happy with the ending of TO ALL THE BOYS
I'VE LOVED
BEFORE. I felt like I knew what the ending was going be
and I was
completely wrong! Jenny Han has created a wonderful novel
which centers around family. With
having two sisters myself, I loved watching the family
dynamics between
the Song family, how different and unique each sister was,
how they could
quarrel over small things, but also to be there for each
other when it
mattered the most. I really did adore the Song family and
can't wait to be
back with them once more in book two. I didn't feel like
the ending was
complete but then I learned that there is a second book
coming out! So excited
now! I can't wait to see how this all resolves!
