“I get the idea during morning announcements, when they announce that our school’s hosting a Model UN scrimmage this weekend.”

So here’s Lara Jean and she’s in love with her sister’s boyfriend.  She writes a love-letter (that she is not planning to send) to said sister’s boyfriend, basically confessing her feelings and then locked it up in a box, like every other letters that she ever wrote to every boy that she’d ever liked.  Well, one day, those letters get sent anyway and now all the boys she’d ever liked knows that she liked them, which makes a very awkward situation, considering that one of them is her sister’s bf (like what the hell, Lara Jean???). 

To be honest, I really should start checking for tags before reading a book so that I won’t get ahead of myself.  I seriously thought that this would be heavy and Mean Girls/Pretty-Little-Liar-ish with important social message about high school and what-not (you know, with Lara Jean fighting tooth and nails to make sure the letters does not reach the other boys while trying to figure out who leaked them.)    What I ended up with is a pink, heart-shaped teenage fluff with a morally ambiguous female lead that makes you want to root for her to stand up for herself one moment, and then goes ‘what the hell is wrong with her?’ the next.  To be honest, I feel kind of bad for her for her low self-esteem, but I really cannot root for her considering what she and Josh did to Margot.  That’s like the ultimate betrayal.  It’s one thing to have your friends do it to you, but it’s a whole another thing to have your own freaking sister doing it to you.  And is Peter K even over Genevieve?

All in all, good for a light-read when you want a break from a heavy plot.  After reading this, I can’t understand the hype surrounding the books and the movie. 

Verdict: 3.2/5
