About this listen

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is now a major motion picture streaming on Netflix!

What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them...all at once?

Sixteen-year-old Lara Jean Song keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren’t love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she’s written. One for every boy she’s ever loved - five in all. When she writes, she pours out her heart and soul and says all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean’s love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

Editorial review


By Mysia Haight, Audible Editor

TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE IS ABOUT MORE THAN YOUNG LOVE

Ah, young love! The thrill never gets old. That’s why one of my favorite escapes is YA Romance—and I’m far from alone. Based on a study by Publisher’s Weekly, more than half of young adult fiction fans are older adults. I also have a fondness for the art of writing love letters. (Though I'm hoping a certain ex-boyfriend burned the many gushy missives I mailed him over the course of our three-year long-distance relationship.) So, it’s no surprise that I was drawn to Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. I first heard about the book when I saw the trailer for the Netflix movie, which features one of my fave actors, the hunky and sensitive John Corbett. in the role of a caring single dad. (Yes, back in my Sex in the City fangirl days, I was team Aidan—and I absolutely adored Corbett in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.) After watching the movie, I wanted to spend more time with these characters, so, naturally, I gave the book a listen.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before is the story of 16-year-old Lara Jean Song Covey, who lives in Virginia with her two sisters and their dad. She’s the middle child and, though they’re only two years apart, has been protected by her big sister, Margot, since their mom died six years ago. Lara Jean cherishes the lovely teal hatbox her mother gave her, and that’s where she keeps her secret letters. Whenever she has a crush on a boy, she writes him a love letter, pouring out her heart and soul. She addresses them to each boy but never intends to send them—they’re a way for her to work through her feelings. The letters are for her eyes only. Lara Jean has written love letters to five boys—including Peter from seventh grade and their neighbor Josh, who is now Margot’s boyfriend—and moved on. Or so she thinks—until, one by one, the boys tell her they got her letter.

The plot, which centers on Peter and Josh, is filled with twists and tension. It involves a carefully orchestrated fake relationship, rumors, jealousy, misunderstandings, and the spark of first love. Romance aside, what I love about this novel is how Lara Jean evolves from a naïve, shy, dreamy girl to a self-aware, responsible young woman. Throughout, Han emphasizes the importance of culture—the girls are half Korean and honor their mom’s heritage—and family. Surviving pettiness and anger, the bond between the Song sisters is unshakeable, and that’s truly something for readers and listeners of all ages to love."

Sweet story

This was a really sweet story and I’m sure I would have enjoyed reading it on the beach. The narration was not good. In fact I started looking into how to become an audio book reader because I found it so grating. The way she makes the boys’ and Chris’ voices sound made me grimace every time. I hoped the sequels would have a different narrator but it’s the same one so I will have to pass on listening.

Good coming of age

This is a good story of sisterhood and figuring out you place in a family and first love. Narration is done well and it's pretty entertaining.

I loved it!

I’m so glad I saw the movie first only because it really helped me see the story better. It helped me to fill in gaps. It’s the first full audiobook I’ve listened to and I’m hooked! I got the next to listen to already!

Heartwarming & funny

Parts where I’m laughing out loud & parts where I’m crying. The characters are so relatable & their banter is on point.

Really enjoyed this story

Im typically not a fan of books about high school kids but I listened to The Summer I Turned Pretty a few months ago and liked it so when I realized To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before was by the same author I knew I needed to listen to this one too. I really enjoyed TATBILB and I can’t wait to download the second book. I laughed out loud at parts, shook my head at the typical teenager behavior in other parts, and felt the anxiety and nerves Lara Jean felt as she navigated the world of dating. I wasn’t expecting the way it ended and I’m anxious to see if we learn more in the next one.
