To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before 1 JOSH IS MARGOT’S BOYFRIEND, BUT I guess you could say my whole family is a little in love with him. It’s hard to say who most of all. Before he was Margot’s boyfriend, he was just Josh. He was always there. I say always, but I guess that’s not true. He moved next door five years ago but it feels like always. My dad loves Josh because he’s a boy and my dad is surrounded by girls. I mean it: all day long he is surrounded by females. My dad is an ob-gyn, and he also happens to be the father of three daughters, so it’s like girls, girls, girls all day. He also likes Josh because Josh likes comics and he’ll go fishing with him. My dad tried to take us fishing once, and I cried when my shoes got mud on them, and Margot cried when her book got wet, and Kitty cried because Kitty was still practically a baby. Kitty loves Josh because he’ll play cards with her and not get bored. Or at least pretend to not get bored. They make deals with each other—if I win this next hand, you have to make me a toasted crunchy-peanut-butter-sandwich, no crusts. That’s Kitty. Inevitably there won’t be crunchy peanut butter and Josh will say too bad, pick something else. But then Kitty will wear him down and he’ll run out and buy some, because that’s Josh. If I had to say why Margot loves him, I think maybe I would say it’s because we all do. We are in the living room, Kitty is pasting pictures of dogs to a giant piece of cardboard. There’s paper and scraps all around her. Humming to herself, she says, “When Daddy asks me what I want for Christmas, I am just going to say, ‘Pick any one of these breeds and we’ll be good.’?” Margot and Josh are on the couch; I’m lying on the floor, watching TV. Josh popped a big bowl of popcorn, and I devote myself to it, handfuls and handfuls of it. A commercial comes on for perfume: a girl is running around the streets of Paris in an orchid-colored halter dress that is thin as tissue paper. What I wouldn’t give to be that girl in that tissue-paper dress running around Paris in springtime! I sit up so suddenly I choke on a kernel of popcorn. Between coughs I say, “Margot, let’s meet in Paris for my spring break!” I’m already picturing myself twirling with a pistachio macaron in one hand and a raspberry one in the other. Margot’s eyes light up. “Do you think Daddy will let you?” “Sure, it’s culture. He’ll have to let me.” But it’s true that I’ve never flown by myself before. And also I’ve never even left the country before. Would Margot meet me at the airport, or would I have to find my own way to the hostel? Josh must see the sudden worry on my face because he says, “Don’t worry. Your dad will definitely let you go if I’m with you.” I brighten. “Yeah! We can stay at hostels and just eat pastries and cheese for all our meals.” “We can go to Jim Morrison’s grave!” Josh throws in. “We can go to a parfumerie and get our personal scents done!” I cheer, and Josh snorts. “Um, I’m pretty sure ‘getting our scents done’ at a parfumerie would cost the same as a week’s stay at the hostel,” he says. He nudges Margot. “Your sister suffers from delusions of grandeur.” “She is the fanciest of the three of us,” Margot agrees. “What about me?” Kitty whimpers. “You?” I scoff. “You’re the least fancy Song girl. I have to beg you to wash your feet at night, much less take a shower.” Kitty’s face gets pinched and red. “I wasn’t talking about that, you dodo bird. I was talking about Paris.” Airily, I wave her off. “You’re too little to stay at a hostel.” She crawls over to Margot and climbs in her lap, even though she’s nine and nine is too big to sit in people’s laps. “Margot, you’ll let me go, won’t you?” “Maybe it could be a family vacation,” Margot says, kissing her cheek. “You and Lara Jean and Daddy could all come.” I frown. That’s not at all the Paris trip I was imagining. Over Kitty’s head Josh mouths to me, We’ll talk later, and I give him a discreet thumbs-up. * * * It’s later that night; Josh is long gone. Kitty and our dad are asleep. We are in the kitchen. Margot is at the table on her computer; I am sitting next to her, rolling cookie dough into balls and dropping them in cinnamon and sugar. Snickerdoodles to get back in Kitty’s good graces. Earlier, when I went in to say good night, Kitty rolled over and wouldn’t speak to me because she’s still convinced I’m going to try to cut her out of the Paris trip. My plan is to put the snickerdoodles on a plate right next to her pillow so she wakes up to the smell of fresh-baked cookies. Margot’s being extra quiet, and then, out of nowhere, she looks up from her computer and says, “I broke up with Josh tonight. After dinner.” My cookie-dough ball falls out of my fingers and into the sugar bowl. “I mean, it was time,” she says. Her eyes aren’t red-rimmed; she hasn’t been crying, I don’t think. Her voice is calm and even. Anyone looking at her would think she was fine. Because Margot is always fine, even when she’s not. “I don’t see why you had to break up,” I say. “Just ’cause you’re going to college doesn’t mean you have to break up.” “Lara Jean, I’m going to Scotland, not UVA. Saint Andrews is nearly four thousand miles away.” She pushes up her glasses. “What would be the point?” I can’t even believe she would say that. “The point is, it’s Josh. Josh who loves you more than any boy has ever loved a girl!” Margot rolls her eyes at this. She thinks I’m being dramatic, but I’m not. It’s true—that’s how much Josh loves Margot. He would never so much as look at another girl. Suddenly she says, “Do you know what Mommy told me once?” “What?” For a moment I forget all about Josh. Because no matter what I am doing in life, if Margot and I are in the middle of an argument, if I am about to get hit by a car, I will always stop and listen to a story about Mommy. Any detail, any remembrance that Margot has, I want to have it too. I’m better off than Kitty, though. Kitty doesn’t have one memory of Mommy that we haven’t given her. We’ve told her so many stories so many times that they’re hers now. “Remember that time . . . ,” she’ll say. And then she’ll tell the story like she was there and not just a little baby. “She told me to try not to go to college with a boyfriend. She said she didn’t want me to be the girl crying on the phone with her boyfriend and saying no to things instead of yes.” Scotland is Margot’s yes, I guess. Absently, I scoop up a mound of cookie dough and pop it in my mouth. “You shouldn’t eat raw cookie dough,” Margot says. I ignore her. “Josh would never hold you back from anything. He’s not like that. Remember how when you decided to run for student-body president, he was your campaign manager? He’s your biggest fan!” At this, the corners of Margot’s mouth turn down, and I get up and fling my arms around her neck. She leans her head back and smiles up at me. “I’m okay,” she says, but she isn’t, I know she isn’t. “It’s not too late, you know. You can go over there right now and tell him you changed your mind.” Margot shakes her head. “It’s done, Lara Jean.” I release her and she closes her laptop. “When will the first batch be ready? I’m hungry.” I look at the magnetic egg timer on the fridge. “Four more minutes.” I sit back down and say, “I don’t care what you say, Margot. You guys aren’t done. You love him too much.” She shakes her head. “Lara Jean,” she begins, in her patient Margot voice, like I am a child and she is a wise old woman of forty-two. I wave a spoonful of cookie dough under Margot’s nose, and she hesitates and then opens her mouth. I feed it to her like a baby. “Wait and see, you and Josh will be back together in a day, maybe two.” But even as I’m saying it, I know it’s not true. Margot’s not the kind of girl to break up and get back together on a whim; once she’s decided something, that’s it. There’s no waffling, no regrets. It’s like she said: when she’s done, she’s just done. I wish (and this is a thought I’ve had many, many times, too many times to count) I was more like Margot. Because sometimes it feels like I’ll never be done. Later, after I’ve washed the dishes and plated the cookies and set them on Kitty’s pillow, I go to my room. I don’t turn the light on. I go to my window. Josh’s light is still on.

I started out reading this book with a knowing snicker that the author has wiped clear off my face. I admit it- I jumped to a conclusion and mentally mocked a book that's probably going to be a novel that actually sticks with me forever.What a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL story. Ahhh Jenny Han you have stolen my heart!When I began this, two words came to mind: 'Little Women' and I will say that even now that I've finished, I do still suspect that the author may be a Louisa May Alcott fan because so much of the premise of 'To all The Boys I've Loved Before' is reminiscent of Little Women.There are only three sisters in this one and they are Korean and modern, but they have a very similar bond those in the afore mentioned story and a few of the plot elements are the same: the boy next door they all fall in love with in their own way who ends up with the eldest sister, the brave, quirky middle child who is more Anne Shirley than Jan Brady, and the hot-headed, mischievous little sister manipulating the eldest ones and every situation behind the scenes. This kid is an absolute handful and if she were my sister well, I would have gone on a cupcake-baking strike for what she does in the beginning of this story. It's not as bad as burning something precious in a fire, but it is akin to it by modern standards.
The sisters have a lovely bond but off the bat, I'm not the biggest fan of Margo. She's just a bit bleh in the way that little Kitty is a bit overbearing. Margo is the oldest who has been the mother figure in the home since their biological mother died, and she's leaving now to go to college in Scotland and leaving the middle sister in charge. Not only that, but she's leaving the boyfriend behind too.Look I don't know if it's possible to actually dole out spoilers with a book like this that everyone won't see coming already, but Lara has always been in love with her big sister's boyfriend and once the sister leaves well, you can imagine what notions occur to her.
Not that the movie wasn't good. On the contrary, it was so adorable and had everything a movie should.But just as always, the book is soooo much better!Lara Jean is a 17 years old teenage girl who likes to live in her fantasy more than in real life. Her mom died due to an unfortunate event and was basically raised by her older sister. Since her sister, Margo moved to Scotland to attend university she became the "oldest Song girl" and suddenly she has so much more responsibilities than before that forces her to do thing she has never had to.She is a normal girl with crushes and everything, the only difference is that she doesn't like to act out on it. She has a habit of writing love letters to kind of clear out her feelings, but never sends them. Somehow, the letters get sent and to save face, she makes a deal with a boy to help her save face in front of her crushes.The storyline itself is worth the time and money, but the characters, the events and the writing style are what make this book one of the best books I've read this year.The main characters are real. They are normal teenagers with normal problems I could relate to. They are not exaggerated at all, they are sweet, sometimes childish and has thoroughly planned personalities. I had no problem believing they are real human beings. Lara Jean is quirky and lovely and Peter is the hot and cool but sweet guy. They both have faults and that's why I loved them.The Song sisters dynamics was interesting to watch. I also have a brother living in another country so I know what it feels like to be afraid of not being able to keep in touch with someone you love and look up to. It was pretty realistic.So to sum up, I loved it from page one to the end, I think I might start the next book immediately :) Highly recommend it :)
I did not like how they made Peter and Kitty be such jerks to Lara Jean. And it kept happening and no one said anything. Also when Margo tells the dad that Lara Jean is having sex, it just made it seem like they really were not that close. Oh! And Lara Jean was terrified of Gen but in the movie she actually stood up to her. Also, how intense Josh's feelings were for Lara Jean AND he kisses her?!?... idk.. I guess I really liked the movie. I LOVE to read and usually books are better than the movie but this time, I actually enjoyed the movie better. Don’t get me wrong, the book was pretty good and I’ll definitely read the rest.
To be honest, I thought this was going to be a silly book before I read it. As a matter of fact, I’ve had all three books since they came out. I can’t wait to watch the movie nowThere’s really only one way to describe this book and you live it. When Lara Jean would go through something, or get hurt, I was right there with her. I knew from the beginning Josh was always just gonna be a friend to her because I mean how do you date your sister’s first. I did kind of like Peter from the start because I could visualize him. When he told her it was never gonna happen and he didn’t like or even look at her that way; I could have strangled him. Lara Jean is just so innocent and like Peter finally tells her, she’s scared to put herself out there in real life and would rather like the unreachable. Kitty was a very good character, a lot of spunk and difficult like a little sister should be.I also liked how Peter had to lead/show Lara Jean how a couple acts. I loved this whole trilogy, but I just want to review one book at a time. This is a book that while making you going through the emotions you still have hope.
