Ahh,Peter Kavinsky. Everyone is madly in love with Jenny Han's hearthrob. But that is the movie Kavinsky we are in love with because he is played by the dreamy Noah Centineo obviously,but what do we know about the book Kavinsky? He will make you fall in love even harder. Lara Jean Covey is of Korean-American descent,nerdy and painfully aware of her inability to get romantically involved with boys. Living in her imaginary world since her birth,trapped between four walls and her romance books,she never got into touch with the real world. Feelings are not anything new to Lara Jean. Naturally,when people fall out of love they find a distraction to forget about their true feelings. LJ on the other hand,puts them on paper to set herself free. She wrote five letters to all the boys she had been previously in love with. One day the letters get out and cause her a lot of trouble. One of the boys is her sister's ex-boyfriend Josh who is also her longtime best friend/neighbour and the other one is the hottest guy in her school aka Peter Kavinsky. What does she do? Josh was never supposed to find out about her crush on him and Peter wants his ex-girlfriend Gen back so they make a deal. They will have a fake relationship where Peter will try to win Gen over while Lara Jean will make sure that Josh does not think that she is still dying for him. From going to parties,car rides to school and spending time after school they get attached to one another while they were not even allowed to have feelings in the first place. It was business,nothing more. But LJ finds her heart skipping a beat everytime she sees Kavinsky. Finally,when she sees that the plan is working and thinks that Gen is getting back with Peter,Josh confesses her love for her. She can never be with him even if she had feelings for him because she thinks that her sister Margot still loves him. To complicate things even more,there is a ski trip coming where Peter convinces LJ to go and that is where things get quite interesting. While LJ is heartbroken that Peter spends time with Gen,one night he confesses his love for her and they make out in the hot thub. Rumors spread with the speed of light and now everyone thinks that Lara Jean lost her virginity with Peter in th hot thub. Peter tells her that it has nothing to do with him and that he even told everyone that it is not true,but that is not simply enough. Back from the ski trip,her family prepares a recital party with neighbours,family and friends and that is when the situation excalated. All the secrets get out. Margot finds out about LJ's crush on Josh,their father finds about the sleeping scandal and Kitty admits that she is the one who sent out the letters. They all eventually make up but what happens further with Lara Jean and Peter? Will they get together for real or is it over? The first time when I found about this book was because of the movie. I did not know there was a book in the first place but when I did,I was desperate for reading it. I thought that I would be more delighted or in awe of the story but frankly speaking,it did not start a spark at all. The book was completed in one sitting but I expected more of it. Of course the books is better because you know the caharacter's true intensions,thoughts and personality and everything seems more clear but I am not satisified as I thought that I would be. Maybe I expected too much. The ending quite confused me because I do not know what happened with the two of them but it is a great cliffhanger and makes you hungry for reading the second book in the series. Peter as a character is a lot better than he is respresented in the movies,Margot is not that perfect oldest daughter as she was pictured in the movie and LJ is just an ordinary teenage girl trying to find love and comfort in one person always complicating things in her own way.
