To All the Boys I Loved Before Rant Review

Image
  Yeah, I know I'm late to the party with this one. And I unfortunately didn't like it!  To All the Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han is about Lara Jean, who has developed crushes on 5 boys over the years, one of them being her childhood friend Peter and another being her next door neighbor, Josh. She has written letters to the boys she has had crushes on, but never mailed them--until one day then somehow get mailed and Lara Jean gets caught up in a crazy love triangle between Peter and Josh.  I've seen so much praise for this book (and the series overall) for years and I finally got around to reading it, but this was just not for me! The main issue I had were the characters. They were all so unlikable! Except for Lara Jean's sisters Margot and Kitty. They were cool. The romance between Lara Jean and Peter was also so badly done, in my opinion. Most of the time they felt like coworkers who barely tolerated each other. I know they were fake dating for most of the book, b...

Unpopular Opinions Book Tag 2024 Edition

  I also do this tag every year in September! If you choose to do this tag, I hope to see your answers. 1.  A popular book or series you didn't like.  As always, I have too many answers for this one. I guess I'll have to go with one I read this year that was pretty disappointing: Josee, The Tiger, and The Fish by Seiko Tanabe. 2.  A book/series a lot of people don't like, but you liked.  I think these two books are more divided than widely disliked. They are The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I really liked those two books, especially A Little Princess! 3.  A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person didn’t want them to end up with/an OTP that you don’t like. I will try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but let's just say I do not like who Xingyin (the MC) ends up with in Heart of the Sun Warrior (the sequel to Daughter of the Moon Goddess ) by Sue Lynn Tan. Very disappointing ...

Emotions Challenge Tag

I've been doing a lot of tags recently, huh? I can't help it! They're so much fun! But I did see this tag over at @theartemisduology on Instagram and I really wanted to do it. So here we go! 1. Happiness-a book you enjoyed. Earlier this year, I enjoyed reading Anne of the Island by LM Montgomery. It is the 3rd book in the Anne of Green Gables series. It is just as heartwarming and sweet as it's predecessors! 2. Sadness- A book that made you have all the feels. Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon Highly recommended, btw! 3. Embarrassment- A book you haven't read that everyone else has. There are way too many to name because I don't usually gravitate towards popular books, BUT... I really want to get around to reading To All the Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han. Yeah, I know I'll be super duper late to the party. That's what you'll get with Candy Bunny Reader.  4. Anticipation-A book you cannot wait to read. As of now, Daughter of the Moon Godde...
