Review: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

I just finished this book and I have to say wow, I really liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Though I’ve heard lots of great things about Jenny Han (I have her Summer series one shelf waiting to be read and have met her and find her think she’s funny and adorable), contemporary YA novels aren’t usually my thing and I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this. However, the pretty pink cover drew me in and I decided to give it a chance, and I’m so glad I did. To All the Boys is fantastically written, with well developed characters and relationships that make for a standout novel.
