2。5⭐️NO ONE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A LOVE TRIANGLE TROPE。 no。 nope。 I don’t like this type of trope。 I just think that playing with the feelings of someone is so shitty so yeah， it was cute sure but idk it felt too fast。 The book is so short and the flashbacks didn’t helped a lot。 anyway I’m team nobody tbh LMAO

3/5 really easy to read， which i appreciate bc i am spending most my time rn doing revision， but i just wasn't a massive fan。 belly got on my nerves a bit？？ especially towards the end （no spoilers） some of her actions just feel a bit selfish， idk maybe i missed something。 wasn't a fan of the whole like "choosing between brothers" or whatever was going on， but i'm not the greatest romance fan ever， so if romance is completely your thing i'm sure you will enjoy it still！！！！ 3/5 really easy to read， which i appreciate bc i am spending most my time rn doing revision， but i just wasn't a massive fan。 belly got on my nerves a bit？？ especially towards the end （no spoilers） some of her actions just feel a bit selfish， idk maybe i missed something。 wasn't a fan of the whole like "choosing between brothers" or whatever was going on， but i'm not the greatest romance fan ever， so if romance is completely your thing i'm sure you will enjoy it still！！！！ 。。。more

i read this bc of taylor swift's new song。 i think it is a nice beach read for a middle schooler but i also eat that stuff up so idc。 however， i didnt like the main character （she was lowkey annoying n immature） and literally i liked CAM as the love interest who was not supposed to be the one to root for which rlly tells you what i thought about the other ones。 to be completely honest the only possible relationship belly will have is with her tantrums bc girlllll。。。 it was just the most average i read this bc of taylor swift's new song。 i think it is a nice beach read for a middle schooler but i also eat that stuff up so idc。 however， i didnt like the main character （she was lowkey annoying n immature） and literally i liked CAM as the love interest who was not supposed to be the one to root for which rlly tells you what i thought about the other ones。 to be completely honest the only possible relationship belly will have is with her tantrums bc girlllll。。。 it was just the most average teen beach read romance ever but it wasnt like HORRIBLE and AWFUL i suppose， also im a sucker for cheesy books and this defo falls in that category 。。。more

Short and sweet。 Hay un trope que no me gusta mucho pero lo pasé bien。 ¿Me cambió la vida？ No。 ¿Seguiré la serie？ Obvio。 Necesito saber cómo evoluciona esto。 Si te gustó la trilogía de “To all the boys”， esto es para ti。 Además， se viene la serie de TV。

Just eh。 I don’t understand all the hype。 I just felt like home girl was sort of a brat a 🤷🏽♀️ - also I didn’t enjoy any of the story lines and I didn’t appreciate that Belly couldn’t see how loved she was by her mom / DID NOT CHOOSE JERE。 So in the end I was dissatisfied lol。 For better lack of words - underwhelmed 😂But will I be watching the tv series…。。 yes 😂😂

El libro perfecto para leer en una tarde。 Como ya sabemos， Lara Jean y Peter Kavinsky son insuperables， por lo que no le he tenido muchas espectativas a este libro ni se las tengo a la trilogía en general。 De hecho， de no haber sido por su futura adaptación ni si quiera habría leído el libro。 A todo esto， aunque no pueda decir que el libro sea lo mejor del mundo， si me ha gustado y lo he disfrutado bastante。Ha sido bastante entretenido y pienso que sería un buen libro para salir de un bloqueo le El libro perfecto para leer en una tarde。 Como ya sabemos， Lara Jean y Peter Kavinsky son insuperables， por lo que no le he tenido muchas espectativas a este libro ni se las tengo a la trilogía en general。 De hecho， de no haber sido por su futura adaptación ni si quiera habría leído el libro。 A todo esto， aunque no pueda decir que el libro sea lo mejor del mundo， si me ha gustado y lo he disfrutado bastante。Ha sido bastante entretenido y pienso que sería un buen libro para salir de un bloqueo lector， pero nada más。Este es el tipo de trama que fácilmente puede quedar muy bien en una serie， pero dificilmente en un libro （al menos esa es mi opinión）， ya que estos suelen ser bastante superficiales y es difícil conectar con los personajes。Sinceramente no es que el libro sea malo， si no que no ha cumplido la función por la que yo lo he leído y por lo que muchos seguramente también lo harán: conocer y conectar con los personajes para así verlos más tarde en la adaptación。 Simplemente eso。Lo que sí me ha gustado （sin peros） del libro es la ambientación， me ha encantado， me ha hecho sentir que yo estaba ahí junto a los personajes， tomando el sol y nadando en la playa en el mes de julio， y no aquí， en pleno mayo， sentada en el sofa de mi casa leyendo e ignorando que estoy en plena época de exámenes finales。 。。。more

Really did not enjoy this book。 Main character seemed like a "pick me" kind of girl。 The story also seemed pointless。 There was no real good ending that makes you want to read the following books in the series。 Really did not enjoy this book。 Main character seemed like a "pick me" kind of girl。 The story also seemed pointless。 There was no real good ending that makes you want to read the following books in the series。 。。。more

this book was so cutesy and just what I needed to start summer。 Its just so summer lovey and feel good。 However， this whole love triangle situation is going to take a toll on me。 I really wish I could be fully team Jeremiah， but there’s something abt Conrad。 I’m honestly 50/50。 This book also moved insanely fast but I forgot that this is meant for much younger people…like what am I doing at a ripe 19 years old reading the summer I turned pretty…。pfff！ anyways it’s a Jenny Han SLAYYY

It was a couldn't put it down once i pick it kind of book。I don't enjoy how insecure Isabelle is about her self， but it adds to her personality。Conrad is a dick。My favourite line- Moments， when lost， can't be found again。 It was a couldn't put it down once i pick it kind of book。I don't enjoy how insecure Isabelle is about her self， but it adds to her personality。Conrad is a dick。My favourite line- Moments， when lost， can't be found again。 。。。more

Estuvo bien。 Es muy raro pero me sentí muy identificada con la protagonista cuando tenía 15 años， o sea literal es yo a los 15。。。 excepto por algunas cositas que no me gustaron de su comportamineto。En general me gustó， es uno de esos libros que cuando tienes 14-16 años disfrutas como nunca， una historia sencilla y muy adictiva。Ahora pensando objetivamente a mis casi 19 años， hay comportamientos muy inmaduros de parte de la prota y los chicos que fácilmente podrían haber sido de otra forma。
