Publisher's Weekly Review
Lara Jean Covey writes romantic goodbye letters to boys "when I don't want to be in love anymore," never intending for them to see the light of day. She understandably panics when the five letters are somehow mailed out, especially because she wrote one to Josh, her older sister Margot's nice, nerdy ex. To convince Josh that she's over him, Lara Jean pretends to date popular Peter, who agrees to the charade to make his former girlfriend jealous. But when Peter holds her hand or jokes around with her younger sister, Kitty, Lara Jean begins to wonder "what's real and what's not." As in Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty, there's a love triangle at work, but Lara Jean's personality-goofy, awkward, prone to strong emotions, and entirely naive when it comes to boys-give this touching story an individuality and charm all its own. Han creates a realistically flawed cast, especially half-Korean Lara Jean and her sisters, who work hard to be good to one another after their mother's death (even when they're at one another's throats). Ages 12-up. Agent: Emily Van Beek, Folio Literary Management. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Horn Book Review
Lara Jean writes letters to boys she's liked without thinking they'll ever be sent. When she discovers that the letters have been mailed, she pretends to date one of those boys to save face in front of another (who also dated her studying-abroad sister). What follows is a sweet, honest, and beautifully written story about sisterly bonds and true first love. (c) Copyright 2014. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Booklist Review
Lara Jean writes plenty of love letters, but she never sends them. It's just her way of moving on from a crush. When her secret box of letters goes missing and she discovers they've been mailed including one to her sister's ex-boyfriend Lara Jean has to come face-to-face with her past and in the process learn more about her future. While the core of the novel focuses on Lara Jean learning to branch out and take risks, other issues of family, sisterly bonds, and coping without a mother run through the narrative. Though some of the side characters could be better developed, Lara Jean is a quirky, low-key protagonist who is off the relatability charts: she loves vintage clothes and prefers to stay at home, knit, and work on her scrapbooking. Short chapters and a convincing romance keep the story sailing as Lara Jean learns, at long last, to take charge. A wonderful choice for fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins.--Thompson, Sarah Bean Copyright 2014 Booklist
School Library Journal Review
Gr 7 Up-Lara Jean Song and her two sisters, Margot and Kitty, are all but inseparable. Since their mother's tragic death, their lives mostly revolve around their father and Margot's boyfriend, Josh. But now Margot is leaving for college in Scotland and things at home seem strange without her. As Lara Jean starts her junior year of high school, she tries to regain a sense of normalcy, but instead, the unimaginable happens. Five secret letters that she had written to her former crushes are accidentally mailed. Josh receives one, and so does Peter, the most popular boy in school. In an attempt to repair her friendship with Josh, Lara Jean starts a fake relationship with Peter who plays along, hoping to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. But the more she gets to know Peter, the more she wonders if there may be something real between them after all. With lightness and humor, Han (Ashes to Ashes) offers listeners an honest look at first love and the bond among sisters. Elements of family unity and the Song girls' Korean heritage add to the charm. Laura Knight Keating's bright, nuanced voice perfectly portrays the characters in all their complexities. A good listen for anyone who enjoys stories of young love and sisterhood.-Amanda Spino, Ocean County Library, NJ (c) Copyright 2014.

Kirkus Review
An ultimately compelling exploration of teenage growth and young love. With her idolized sister Margot leaving for college, Lara Jean doesn't feel ready for the coming changes: becoming more responsible for their younger sister, Kitty, helping their widowed father, or seeing Margot break up with Josh, the boy next doorwhom Lara Jean secretly liked first. But there's even greater upheaval to come, when Lara Jean's five secret letters to the boys she's loved are mailed to them by accident. Lara Jean runs when sweet, dependable Josh tries to talk to her about her letter. And when Peter Kavinsky gets his letter, it brings him back into Lara Jean's life, all handsome, charming, layered and complicated. They start a fake relationship to help Lara Jean deal with Josh and Peter to get over his ex. But maybe Lara Jean and Peter will discover there's something more between them as they learn about themselves and each other. It's difficult to see this book as a love triangleJosh is bland as oatmeal, and Peter is utterly charismatic. Meanwhile, readers may find that Lara Jean sometimes seems too nave and rather young for 16though in many ways, this makes her feel more realistic than many of the world-weary teens that populate the shelves. Regardless, readers will likely be so swept up in the romance they can read past any flaws. (Fiction. 14-18)]] Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
