To All the Boys I've Loved Before

I decided to read the book because the movie comes out in a week and I have time, so why not? I enjoyed it overall, but some of the characters just didn't click. And no, it's not Lara Jean the one that makes me say this. Reading other reviews, she seems to be the reason for low scores, but I actually liked her.

Funnily enough, my problem are the romantic interests.

We're introduced to Josh as this perfect guy but we don't see much of him besides when drama is needed for Peter and Lara Jean. Everyone's problem seems to be Lara Jean liking him because it's her sister's boyfriend, but the three of them had been friends for years before he dated Margot and Lara Jean liked him before he did so I don't see a problem with that. The problem is him flip-flopping between sisters, it makes me question if he ever loved any of them at all. Actually, Lara Jean herself wonders if they're all interchangeable to him. Will he try and date Kitty next? Who knows.

Then there's Peter, who has a 50% chance of being a jerk or a sweet guy. And, to be honest, his good moments were eclipsed by the douchey ones for me. Plus, he still seems into Genevieve. Every time Lara Jean confronts him about her he's like ‘it has nothing to do with you' even though it does considering she's your girlfriend now.

Margot getting angry at Lara Jean for her feelings, which cannot be controlled, was also not my cup of tea and made me dislike a character I had liked at first.

Anyway, maybe I'm just too old for teenage drama? Sigh.
