Jenny Han

"Lara Jean guarda sus cartas de amor en una caja. No son cartas que le hayan enviado, las ha escrito ella, una por cada chico de los que se ha enamorado. En ellas se muestra tal cual es, porque sabe que nadie las leerá. Hasta que un día alguien las envía por equivocación y la vida amorosa de Lara Jean pasa de 'imaginaria' a estar totalmente fuera de control."--

A todos los chicos de los que me enamoré

A Todos os Rapazes que Amei

Beatriz Carvalho

As irmãs, quando se zangam, é suposto fazerem as pazes, pois são irmãs e as irmãs acabam sempre por se reencontrar. Mas o que mais me assusta é que talvez não seja esse o nosso caso.

Quando alguém está fora durante muito tempo, de início guardamos todas as coisas que lhe queremos contar. Tentamos manter tudo na nossa mente. Mas é como agarrar um punhado de areia: Os pedacinhos mais pequenos escorregam-nos por entre os dedos e depois só nos resta na mão o ar e uns quantos grãos. É por isso que não é possível guardar assim as coisas.

Josh, partes-me o coração. E és um mentiroso. Porque tu conheces-me, conheces-me melhor do que quase toda a gente, e não me amas.

A Margot diria que pertence a si própria. A Kitty diria que não pertence a ninguém. E eu acho que diria que pertenço às minhas irmãs e ao meu pai, mas nem sempre seria verdade. Pertencer a alguém – não sei como é, mas agora que penso nisso parece-me ser tudo aquilo que sempre desejei. Ser mesmo de alguém e que esse alguém seja meu.

Não sei… acho que à chuva tudo parece mais dramático.

Mas acho que, bem lá no fundo, as pessoas não mudam. São o que são.

Se fosses meu, nunca te teria deixado, nem num milhão de anos.

As minhas cartas são para quando já não quero estar apaixonada. São para despedidas. Porque, depois de escrever a minha carta, já não sou consumida por esse amor devorador.

"Lara Jean writes love letters to all the boys she has loved and then hides them in a hatbox until one day those letters are accidentally sent"--

To All the Boys I've Loved Before

Devansh Patil

“Okay, okay. You know I didn’t mean it like that. I just mean that you

should give people a chance to know you.” Josh points the remote control at

me and says, “If people knew you, they would love you.” He sounds so

Josh, you break my heart. And you’re a liar. Because you know me, you

know me better than almost anybody, and you don’t love me.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is now a major motion picture streaming on Netflix! Lara Jean’s love life gets complicated in this New York Times bestselling “lovely, lighthearted romance” (School Library Journal) from the bestselling author of The Summer I Turned Pretty series. What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them…all at once? Sixteen-year-old Lara Jean Song keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren’t love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she’s written. One for every boy she’s ever loved—five in all. When she writes, she pours out her heart and soul and says all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean’s love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

When I write, I hold nothing back. I write like hell never read it. Because he never will. Every secret thought, every careful obser- vation, everything l've saved up inside me, I put it all in the letter. When l'm done, I seal it, I address it, and then I put it in my teal hatbox. They're not love letters in the strictest sense of the word. My letters are tor when don't want to be in love anymore. They're for good-bye. Because after I write my letter, l'm no longer consumed by my all-consuming love, l can eat my cereal and not wonder if he likes bananas over his Cheerios too; l can sing along to love songs and not be singing them to him, If love is like a possession, maybe my letters are like my exorcisms. My letters set me free. Or at least they're supposed to.

Milostné dopisy mají mnoho podob. Lara Jean sice nikdy žádný nedostala, ale napsala jich už pět- na rozloučenou. Když už Lara nechtěla být zamilovaná, napsala dopis o tom, jak se cítí, pečlivě ho zapečetila a schovala do krabice na klobouky. Neměla v plánu je posílat pryč. Ale jednoho dne Lara Jean zjistí, že dopisy někdo rozeslal. Najednou musí čelit všem pěti chlapcům, pro které dopisy psala. Ale časem zjistí, že rozeslání dopisů jí přece jen něco přineslo.

Originální YA romantický příběh. Je hodně oddechový, takže u něj nemusíte dávat tolik pozor, a to se mi líbí. Romantické knížky ale nejsou můj šálek kávy, proto dávám jen 4 hvězdy.

I absolutely loved reading this book. Peter and Lara Jean were the cutest 😭💗💗

Anne

Complicated yet powerful, that’s how I’ll describe the book in short. And complicated doesn’t always mean bad. Especially, if Jenny Han is there to de-tangle every string like that’s all she’s ever done. What I loved the most about the book is the relationship between the three sisters, well that can be a little biased because I have a sister too but I believe most of the people will agree with me on that one. The plot was really interesting and kind of crazy if I might say. I came across the book when I first watched the Netflix adaptation, we all know about. And well, let’s just say I absolutely love our protagonist and narrator, Lara Jean Song Covey. A teenage girl always in her fantasy world who is scared of love in real life, which somehow comes from her Asian roots and loss of her mother at an early age bringing a different sense of responsibility and self-awareness on her.
 One of the reasons why I really adore this book is that I was part of the targeted audience. I do relate to Lara Jean on most parts except for having all the boys showing up all together. Jenny Han has very well portrayed the how-abouts of teenage life and love. One character I really love from the book is LJ’s dad, Dr. Covey. The father-daughter relationship is well woven and wholesome. An understanding father is exactly what girls who lose their mother at an early age need. I really enjoyed the twists in the story which were bizarre but what’s even a little dramatic when it comes to Lara Jean’s life. Peter Kavinsky on the other hand continuously bugged me by being all possessive regarding Lara Jean while he himself kept going back and forth on Genevieve. Speaking of whom, the things Gen says during end of the story seemed really triggering but we can all agree that’s what girls face in today’s world- a little hidden message in the book I really appreciate the mention of.
I really like how Jenny Han has written teenage problems in a respectful and reasonable way instead of mocking it all. While the story is really imaginative and fun there’s a lot to take away too. The very wholesome Lara Jean and Margot reunion at the near end of the story made me emotional and deeply touched. Besides, respecting and handling love carefully is the whole point of the story apart from the teenage craziness. I guess it is a really good read for the teenagers and young adults and there’s nothing to be alarmed at despite the title of the book which clearly talks about boys and love.
Finally, I will suggest you to read the book first and the watch the movie or the book gets slow paced at times because you know some bits already while both a really different and the book has much more you wouldn’t find in the movie at all.

I give this book a 4.5 stars.

awwe :’) this is the first book i’ve read that isn’t dystopian . it was a sudden change but i love it (the book, not the film)

I remember reading this the first time and not being too impressed but WHOA, ok that changed. I loved this! I was just perfectly in the mood for it. I just decided on a whim that I wanted to read it and it was perfect timing. The characters are adorable, I love the story. I LOVE the family and how much time the author devotes to them. It’s awesome. There’s something so real and special about these characters. What a fun, cute read!

Zahra

Such a quick and sweet read. I loved the family dynamics in this one, especially the bond between the three Song girls. On top of that, Lara Jean is Asian (just like me) which produces a nod of approval from me because, FINALLY, an Asian protagonist! And let's not forget Peter Kavinsky, his interactions with Lara Jean was just hilarious and funny.

Luckily, I already have P.S. I Still Love You in hand or I'd probably go mad from the cliffhanger!

2.5 stars

at this moment, i feel like i disliked this book so much, but at the same time, there were a few things that come to mind that it was good, leading to me rating this book in between-ish.

Kritika Narula

I cannot bear the cliiff hanger. I shouldnt have read this before the book came out. Damn. nevertheless. Now that I have read it, let me cut tothe chase. The novel is heartwarming, heart shattering and heartbreaking at different points. I lived the warmth and affection that the Song Girls shared. I also loved the different equations of relationships

★★★★ // i find myself partly endeared to lara jean, but also partly annoyed. she is a sweet, young girl that you can’t help but admire. sometimes, she’s too naïve that i kind of want to shake her. so for the most part, i’m confused about my feelings towards her character. the romance part of the book is a classic fake-it-til-you-make-it. i absolutely loved how it slowly developed into something real, especially those moments when their gestures and actions start to become the normal.

3.5/5 stars

I was OBSESSED with the movies, so going into this book I had high hopes. Now this book wasn't bad per say it's just kinda there (if that makes any sense at all). It's a cute little quick read, but it kills me (like actually kills me) to say that I preferred the movie over the book.... I'm so sorry. It's still okay though and hopefully the other books get better.

Ally

Did not like the audiobook as much as reading it in physical form. The movie misses soo much

More like 3.25
It was an enjoyable read for most parts of the book, especially the beginning was great, but there was literally no chemistry between Lara Jean and Peter and seriously, what was this ending? The author could have easily finished this whole story if she added another chapter but no, let's just write a whole sequel to it. Sigh.

Gracias Jenny Han por sacarme de mi bloqueo de lector que duró 8 meses, me divertí muchísimo leyendo este libro. ❣️

maddie

super cute book!! i really liked all of the characters as well! it’s pretty easy to read and kind of predictable, but overall, it’s still a good book :)

carolreadabook

I was so addicted to the plot but th writing style wasn’t my favorite.

** spoiler alert **
           Okay not gonna lie I found this book super boring in the beginning but then I found myself having a hard time to put it down. 

I watched the movie before reading the book because I couldn’t wait to see it any longer and I noticed so many differences some of which I can’t really remember but one thing is that Laura Jean gets in a car accident and Peter sees her and offers to help her. This ends up being how they tell people they got together. 

In the movie it ends with Laura Jean telling peter she loves him and then they’re together but the book ends with her starting a letter to Peter 

But I thought this book was super good
