There is a reason why this book won the Man Booker Prize 2019 (jointly with Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments). It’s perfection, in my opinion.

This is written in 12 chapters, each featuring a named character. They’re Black (one unknowingly so), British (although one no longer lives in the UK and thinks of herself as American) and Female (and one no longer identifies as female). They’re all different ages and from different backgrounds, but some are linked, and these characters are linked in grouped chapters.

I loved the writing style - a kind of prose poetry - with a lack of capital letters and punctuation. After a couple of pages of acclimatisation, it became a really fluid read - like a thought process.

I really enjoyed reading about their different lifestyles, different origins and where their lives took them.

A really satisfying, thought provoking read.

Imagine writing down your deepest darkest thoughts about your crush, and those thoughts get out to your crush. Well that's exactly what happens to Lara Jean, not once, not twice bit five times! You see, growing up Lara Jean wrote letters to any boy she developed a crush on and kept them hidden away for her eyes only. That is until her sister finds them and decides to mail them to the boys, the horror!
One of her ex crushes, Peter, uses this to his advantage and they both agree to pretend to date to make Peters ex girlfriend jealous. If like me, you're mad for romance films then you can pretty much guess where it goes from there. It is a feel good movie though and one that can be watched over and over again.
