Some summers are just destined to be pretty.

But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Ratings and reviews

I have read all 3 books in 3 days i vouldnt put it down... My mom thought i was depressed or something because i dont like reading but at camp my counselor told me i should read this, and i started it and it is amazing... i did this as a book report and ppl were like a love story so like i made my best friend read it abd she loved it she talked about this for days....

This is it. This is the kind of book that no matter how many amazing books that I have read, I will always be led to this. It's like everyone's first love, it has its own special charm that really, truly has gotten into me. The first time I read it, it was in 2011 and I was 13. The feeling of joy and excitement when I read it just washed over me. Thank u Jenny Han.. my no 1 fav author. Your series including To All The Boys I've Loved Before have really ingrained inside my heart. 5 stars ! p/s posting a review really isnt me but I think you deserve a compliment and this well-thumbed summer series books of mine are the living proof

One of those books that are highly rated but really end up being a disappointment. It was extremely boring with really no climax. The love triangle was dull. No connection between any of the characters or development. I'm hoping they added just a tad more drama to the TV show.
