To All The Boys I've Loved Before - Jenny Han

I've read The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy by Jenny Han and really loved the easy reading style. I loved this book even more. 
I had written this down on my wishlist but it was chosen as the next book for the Waterstone's Manchester teen book club which me and Kirsty are members of. So we bought it and I read it all within 3 days.
Lara Jean Song is such a likeable character. She is completely down to earth and I love the descriptions of her outfits, her bedroom, her family life etc. I expected it to be quite predictable, with her being in love with Josh throughout the whole book. It was nice to be wrong about that, it made the story more interesting. 
I really enjoyed the little twists and the easy, flowing way the book was written and I am really glad I read it during Spring - I feel like the descriptive pastel colours really suit the season.

The Summer I Turned Pretty - Jenny Han 

Everything that happened this past summer, and every summer before it, has all led up to this. To now.
Every year Isabel spends a perfect summer at her family friends' house. There's the swimming pool at night, the private stretch of sandy beach . . . and the two boys. Unavailable, aloof Conrad - who she's been in love with forever - and friendly, relaxed Jeremiah, the only one who's ever really paid her any attention.
But this year something is different. They seem to have noticed her for the first time. It's going to be an amazing summer - and one she'll never forget...

I first read about this book in Sugar magazine and thought it sounded like a really cute read for Summer. I was about 20 at the time and read it on all of the sunny days. It was a nice story with likeable characters. I read the next two in the trilogy and really liked the way the storyline developed throughout.
I love the cover of the book. Daisies are my favourite flower and blue is my favourite colour. If I hadn't read about it beforehand I would still have picked up the book.
Each of the 3 books has a page at the beginning with an inspirational message from Jenny Han. The one from the second book I actually took out of the book and it's stuck on my bedroom wall.
