To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Jenny Han, 2014
A girl writes secret letters to every boy she's loved—then they get mailed. A warm, funny novel about sisters, first love, and the mess of being seen.
Jenny Han
Jenny Han writes summers, sisters and first love with a light touch and a real ache underneath, the kind of warmth that comes from families and beach houses you can picture clearly. Start with To All the Boys I've Loved Before for the letters and the comedy, or The Summer I Turned Pretty if you want the sand-and-siblings feeling first.
Feels like love, nostalgia and family.

Jenny Han was born in Richmond, Virginia, to Korean parents and worked as a children’s book editor before becoming a novelist.
The sister who decides things cleanly, and the one who can’t.
I wave a spoonful of cookie dough under Margot’s nose, and she hesitates and then opens her mouth. I feed it to her like a baby. “Wait and see, you and Josh will be back together in a day, maybe two.” But even as I’m saying it, I know it’s not true. Margot’s not the kind of girl to break up and get back together on a whim; once she’s decided something, that’s it. There’s no waffling, no regrets. It’s like she said: when she’s done, she’s just done. Books by Jenny Han
