"It’s the ultimate shaggy dog story. Time stops. Many times. Written at the dawn of the novel, this is still so daring. And you’ll love Uncle Toby. Who doesn’t?"

"It’s a platonic love story about an old woman and a 17-year-old who go to funerals even though they don’t know the deceased. It’s just fucking awesome.”"

"With her unique combination of detached irony and a clear love of language, Ms. Smith captures the angst of assimilation in this story of immigrant identity in the diaspora."

It's a love story, only between men instead of the usual man and woman. I enjoyed it because it was sweet and showed the development of the characters feelings.

Ahhh part of the Rat pack in this great teen love story. Ringwald and Hall are funny and dramatic in this love story of a girl who wants nothing more than the hottest guy in school and Hall as the extreme king of the nerds who really wants to to be popular and be noticed. It kind of has a Cinderella kind of feel to it with out the glass slipper. This directors movies is a lot of what I grew up on. Sixteen candles id full love laughs and crazy family fun.

Book review
Loved it! Many love stories are way too cliché... they see each other.. they fall in love... they get together... the end. This is much more realistic but still a good story. Whilst Lu goes through some tough times, it reflects the real world the challenges of life where everything isn't sugar coated.

I saw this movie on Netflix and within the first few minutes I was in love with the story and of course, Peter Kavinsky. It was like the perfect teen romance novel. To my delight, it was! A trilogy dedicated to the love story of Lara Jean and Peter. After reading the books, I feared I wouldn’t love the movie anymore. That’s not the case though. The movie was true to the quirkiness of the book. I will find pleasure in both rereading the book series and rewatching the movie!

Hard getting into Manon's story
This series just got so much better
So many new characters in this book! Found it hard to get into Manon's story, but got to love her by the end of the book.
