REVIEWS OF TO
ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE SERIES

you ever had one of those days where you just ache for some cheesy
teen chick flick? A typical romantic story that you’ve
heard told thousands of times but still enthralls you? This definitely
fits the criteria.’ - The Guardian
PS I STILL LOVE YOU: 'You know that feeling
you get where you feel like you have lost a friend when you finish
reading a book? That feeling is what proves that you’ve
read a truly amazing book. This was what I felt after I finished
reading P.S. I Still Love You.' - The Guardian
ALWAYS AND FOREVER, LARA JEAN: 'The final instalment
of the 'Lara Jean' trilogy unfolds at a leisurely pace and...
fans of the first two books will not be disappointed and will
enjoy her personal journey towards independent thinking and a bright
future.' - Booktrust
