To all the boys I loved before was such a crowd-pleaser when it arrived on Netflix. I was literally obsessed with this movie. I watched it a good six times and was still in love with the movie and Peter as much as I was the first time I saw it. I talked about this movie for like a solid two weeks straight. I convinced many of my friends to see it, I even got some of my male friends to watch it alone. Everyone seemed to like it as much as I did. However because movies are short on time the movie missed a lot of important information that was important to Lara Jean's character.
I liked it so much I decided to go ahead and read the books. I was really excited about it because everyone knows that the books are always better than the movies. However I found that in this case that was not true. I found the book trilogy only held maybe half the charm of the movie. Peter wasn't as sweet as he was in the movie. Chris wasn't a good a friend as she was in the movie. And overall many of the scenes in the movie that were sweet like the hot tube scene (prior to the video being posted of course) had a completely different context in the book that made you think twice about how much you really liked the characters.
If I were to have read the book first I might have liked it more but all things considered I definitely loved the movie more than the book. And if you really loved the movie I may even go as far as to say don't read the books because its definitely not as good in my opinion, but if you haven't seen the movie log on to your Netflix account ASAP and get on it!
