In To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Lara Jean Song Covey’s life is turned upside down when her younger sister sends out a series of love letters that she had written to the boys she had overwhelming feelings towards. One letter, to the popular and handsome Peter Kavinsky, led to a fake relationship that sparked real romance. The second book starts with Lara Jean deciding to make a play for Peter, for real this time. They get back together, or rather finally get together, […]

With the release of the To All the Boys P.S. I Still Love You on Netflix this week I decided to give in and read the series. I really liked the first movie in 2018 but didn’t pick the books up then. I was smitten with the movie and didn’t want to mess with that feeling. But eighteen months later I felt the time had come. In To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before we are introduced to Lara Jean Song Covey, middle sister of […]

I’m really glad I read this series. It was fluffy and cute and didn’t have too much angst in it (although still a little too much for my tastes). But the first book really was the highlight. I felt the second one was too slight, and though this one had more weight to it (with Lara Jean facing graduation and moving on from everything she’s always known), it still wasn’t as satisfying as the simplicity and cuteness of the first book. Spoilers for the first two […]

My daughter is 14, and all of sudden this year I couldn’t go 6 seconds without hearing the words “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” I think she watched it on Netflix 50 times with her friends. I watched it, too. It was adorable. And I wanted to know more about Lara Jean and Peter, so off to the library I went, picking up all three volumes of their saga. At this point, pretty much everyone knows the story: Lara Jean is half-Korean, and […]

I fell completely in love with the Netflix film adaptation of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and immediately sought out the novels it was based on. To my horror, although not surprise, there was a mile long wait list at the library and the trilogy was sold out at Barnes & Noble. Luckily the box set came back in stock and I was able to binge read the series last week. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (4.75 Stars) Lara Jean Covey lives in […]

Not as good as book one, but still worth reading.

I am sad to say that this book was not as good for me as the first one. I still loved the characters a lot, and there were still all these great, small moments peppered throughout the book. Lara Jean’s family continues to warm my heart. Peter continues to be a huge doofus. Lara Jean is a fashion icon. Some spoilers below, so be warned. I just thought this book was a little weak. Where the first book had at the center of it the whole […]

BlackRaven on I cried six times while reading this memoir slash podcast slash pop culture book.Thanks for the review! I had wanted to read this, but it sounds like it might not be "my thing". Though I've enjoyed the show...

Michael on Like being on a pleasant scenic drive and then plummeting off a cliff to a fiery deathI too was shocked by the "alt-history" Rafi Gambit. It seemed gratuitous and needless. But then I wondered who is really writing the story. Maybe...
Malin on Bruh.Wonderful review. I was pretty sure I never wanted to read this book, and your review has only strengthened my resolve to stay away from...
