Book review: To All The Boys I've Loved Before
9:00 AM“That's when I see him. Peter Kavinsky, walking down the hallway. Like magic. Beautiful, dark-haired Peter. He deserves background music, he looks so good.”
- excerpt from To All The Boys I've Loved Before
This is the best book I've ever read thus far. As cheesy as it sounds, yes it is.
The book portrays a girl, Lara Jean who keeps her 'love' letters in a hatbox. Her letters are written so that she wont love that particular person again.
Until someone decided to send out the letters.
Then she gets to pretend to fall in love with the handsome Peter Kavinsky. To show Josh, the guy she actually likes, but totally off-limits since he's her sister's ex that she doesn't like him like what she wrote in the letter.
I like how real this story is. I like how the guy character isn't as fantasy or artificial. Like Augustus Waters was too perfect and you and I both know that to find someone like him is completely... unattainable and fruitless.
I like how Peter Kavinsky is not the kind of guy who turns up at your house with flowers, though he does sends cute notes to Lara Jean. Even if it was all pretend, they sure looked like they like each other for real. I think Peter has liked her for long but Lara Jean was too blind to see it.
I wished I've read this book a long time ago. To realize how in real life, perfect guys don't exist. To not expect much from them.
STILL THOUGH I WANT A PETER KAVINSKY IN MY LIFE!!
Maybe I should purposely send love letters to people I used to like and go all 'oops' and then who knows ahahahha.
I STILL WANT A PETER KAVINSKY. Y'ALL BETTER DOAKAN SEMOGA I JUMPA LELAKI YANG SWEET MACAM DIA OKAY.
