Rating: 2.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 Lara Jean lives with her father and two sisters, one older and one younger. Her mother passed away several years ago, so her older sister takes care of them the most but she's going off to university in Scotland. Her older sister breaks up with her boyfriend when she leaves. Lara Jean likes to write letters to the boys she's had crushes on to write out her emotions, and she's written 5 in total. One day her letters get sent out somehow, one of which gets sent to her older sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh, who she just broke up with. To avoid the awkwardness there, Lara Jean starts fake dating Peter Kavinsky, an old friend who had a letter sent to him as well. 
 I've been meaning to read this book for a while after it began popping up all over the place. I was pretty disappointed because I expected it to be better than it was, but it still wasn't all that bad. I did find it super predictable and I guessed who sent out the letters right away, and the romance was annoying and nearly non-existent, but it was a light read and I enjoy those every so often. 
 The biggest issue I had with this book was Lara Jean, the protagonist. I didn't find her very likeable at all. She's very naive, irritable, and impulsive. Her voice and actions were very childish and not very well thought out. Her whole family still referred to their dad as "daddy," even the oldest who was 18 years old. Lara Jean felt like she was much younger than she really was, which was 16. I also didn't really understand why she would address the letters if she never had the intention of sending them. Didn't she think about the possibility of them getting out, even if it was a sliver of a chance? 
 I also found the boy she was fake dating to be an asshole. He was really rude to Lara Jean and expected her to take it, but when she pulled the same stuff with him he was an ass about it. He kept telling her about how other people would have expectations for them, and that he had to do certain things because nobody would think he became a monk to date her. He also went into the fake relationship telling Lara Jean that he was doing it to make his ex-girlfriend jealous, but whenever Lara Jean brought that up he got upset and said it wasn't true. What? 
 Overall, I had a lot of issues with the book but I didn't dislike it too much. I found the main character annoying and the romance lacking, but it was a cute (ish) light read. If you're looking for a light read this may be the book for you, but if you're looking for something with substance, you're probably better off reading another romance.
