Review 
This story is about a sixteen year old girl, Lara Jean, who had been writing love letters to guys she had a crush on. This letters are secret so she keeps them safe in a vintage box, but mysteriously this letters are sent to the five boys she had liked before, including her sister´s ex-boyfriend.

But in order for her sister´s ex-boyfriend not realizes that she actually has feelings for him, she starts a false relationship with Peter K, her childhood crush.


And the whole book is about  Lara Jean having feelings for her sister´s ex-boyfriend (he and her sister broke up a week before this disaster happened), who seems to like her back; and also developing feelings with her fake boyfriend, who also seems to have feelings for her.

Opinion

I started liking the book at beginning with her sister Margot being like a second mother to Lara Jean and Kitty and how sad they were when Margot was moving away for college.

I also liked Lara Jean´s purpose of writing the secret love letters to her crushes, which was fun.

But when the whole high school drama erupts the story became pointless for me, I really don´t know why people say this book is cute, I didn´t read anything cute; there is no romance at all or cutesy moments.

Why I say it  was pointless?, because at the middle of the book the letters didn´t mattered anymore and the only thing that mattered was that weird love triangle between them.
___

What I like the most in YA contemporary novels is to see an immature character that throughout the story grows up in character and becomes mature, but sadly I didn´t see that on this book.
This is my opinion and I don´t mean to offend anyone.
