⠀ ⠀🍨 ୭ When I saw eARCs of this book being handed out- It was in that moment that I knew if I didn’t get an arc of this book, I would’ve gone insane for the rest of my life- living in pure regret. So when I did get the arc of this book (It was a beautiful Saturday morning), I screamed from excitement even more. That being said, I had very high expectations of this graphic novel, and I’m kind of sad that a lot of my expectations weren’t met. ⋆
⠀ ⠀The art style looked adorable on the cover… but as you turned the pages, it was obvious that there was barely any effort put into some of the frames. I understand that trying to translate a whole novel into art is quite a chore, but I do believe more care could’ve gone into the art. Especially with how it was shorter than I expected it to be. Many scenes were cut out (which is normal for graphic novels), but most of the scenes that were cut were some of the funniest ones, and I was so sad when I realized this! ⋆
⠀ ⠀But, I love love love watching one of my favorite series come alive through beautiful colors! This was definitely adorable, no matter the fact that not all my expectations were met. I honestly can’t wait to see the rest of the series be adapted. ⋆

Book Riot’s Most Anticipated Books of 2026:
I recently inhaled the manga series adaptation of Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, so when I saw that To All The Boys I've Loved Before is getting adapted into a graphic novel, my hands immediately started doing all the gimme gimme gestures. Fans will now have the original books, a great film trilogy adaptation, and soon a graphic novel adaptation. This is just all the wins for lovers of YA romance, Jenny Han, and her characters! —Jamie Canaves

Thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved this story! Lara Jean is such a relatable character, and it was really fun seeing her in this format. The story is definitely simpler than the original, but it still captures the charm and heart that made me love it in the first place. I also absolutely love the art style. It’s so charming and really brings everything to life in a fresh and fun way. If you enjoyed the original books you’ll love this version too.

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Simon Teen) for promotional purposes.
As a huge To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before fan (it’s one of my favorite series) and a lover of graphic novels, I knew I needed to read this one the second I heard about it.
In terms of plot, this graphic novel followed the book well. I noticed some of the lines were directly taken from the book which I liked. That being said, it was incredibly fast paced and felt much shorter than the book. The story could have been expanded more to include more scenes. Also, clear chapter breaks would have helped in slowing down the pacing.
The best part was the art style. I loved the art work. It was adorable and matched the aesthetic and vibe of the original novel.
Overall, this was a cute adaptation of the book! It wasn’t perfect but I still enjoyed it and will read future installments. If you’re a big TATBILB fan, this is a fun one to add to your collection.

Literal lo estan sacando para mi, jamás había habido un libro que fuera tan para mi.
Lo voy a decir: estoy seguro que no hay wey más sesgado con esta historia que yo. To All The Boys es y será por siempre de mis cosas favoritas de toda la vida. La disfruto como nadie, adoró cada cosa relacionada con ella, por lo que era de esperarse de que iba a amar por completo. Entonces, tomen esta opinión por lo que es: cero objetiva pero llena de amor eterno por esta serie.
ES SUPER CUTE CALLENSE LA BOCA. El arte esta coquetisimo y me llena de amor ver esta historia representada en un medio gráfico. Siento que estaba complicado considerando que ya existen las películas y ya tenemos un referente visual para la historia, pero justamente algo que me encantó es que los personajes no se parecen nada a los actores (que amo con mi vida) porque de esa manera la novela gráfica tiene su propia identidad visual, me explico?
Sí, yo creo que la única queja que tengo es que la adaptación se siente super choppy y como extraña en ciertas partes, pero eso ya es enfocarse en los detalles mínimos. Como les digo, para mi TODO lo referente a TATB siempre será bueno y siempre lo disfrutaré enormemente, porque de verdad creo que no hay cabrón que le guste más esta historia que a mi JAJAJA.
De verdad espero que adapten el resto de la trilogía porque si hay alguien dispuesto a consumir cualquier cosa relacionada con Lara Jean y Peter K soy yo. LARGA VIDA A JENNY HAN.
Gracias tio Netgalley por la copia avanzada de este libro! Vales mil te adoro.

There has never been a book more made for me than this one.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm extremely biased when it comes to anyhting To All The Boys related. I have been OBSESSED with this story ever since I first read it, so as soon as the graphic novel was anounced I KNEW I was going to love it. So it isn't a shock to anyone that that was exactly what happened.
IT IT SO CUTE I CAN'T. The art and the character desing is so well done! Initially I thought that it was going to be a challenge to adapt the story into this format since we already have a visual reference for the story with the movies, but one of my favorite aspects is that none of the characters felt like fanart of the actors (who I wholeheartedly adore). Tthis graphic novel has its own visual identity, its own interpretations of both Peter and Lara Jean (and the rest of the cast) so it's a delight to experiment the story in a new way.
Yes, probably my biggest qualm is that the adaptation feels a little choppy at times, but it's expected when taking a novel in prose into a more concise format as this one, so that's just splitting hairs on my part. I can't wait for it to come out to reread it endlessly.
I really hope we get the rest of the trilogy adapted into graphic novels, since it would make me the happiest boy on earth. FOREVER AND ALWAYS A TATB STAN.
Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of the bool!

This was so cute! The art was perfect for the vibes and this totally captured the essence of the original book. It felt so cozy and charming. I can’t wait to continue on with the series in this format, it made for such a fun and immersive reading experience. Love LJ and Peter K so much!

This graphic novel adaptation of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before captures the heart of Jenny Han’s beloved story, but it didn’t quite hit the same emotional notes as the original novel for me.
First, the positives: the artwork is absolutely charming. The soft pastel palette—full of pinks, blues, and dreamy tones—fits Lara Jean’s personality and romantic imagination perfectly. It gives the story that cozy, whimsical feeling fans of the series will recognize right away. Visually, it’s a really cute interpretation of Lara Jean’s world.
That said, the adaptation felt a bit rushed. Because the story is condensed into graphic novel form, several moments move extremely quickly, and some scenes that felt meaningful in the original book either appear briefly or seem to disappear altogether. The chapter transitions were also abrupt, with hard cutoffs between moments that made the story feel slightly disjointed at times.
I also found some of the character introductions a little confusing. Aside from the main characters, a few people weren’t clearly identified until much later in the story, which made it harder to keep track of everyone—especially if you haven’t read the novel recently.
The ending also felt somewhat sudden. I genuinely paused to check if I had missed pages because the story wrapped up so quickly compared to what I remembered from the original.
Overall, this was still a fun and quick read, and fans of Lara Jean—or readers who love sweet YA rom-coms—will probably enjoy seeing the story reimagined in graphic form. Just be prepared for a faster-paced version of the story rather than a full recreation of the novel’s emotional depth.

the art style was so pretty and this was nostalgic because i love the original series, but this was not even close to being as good as the books. i really wanted to love it but this felt like a summary of the original books. it left out so many important details and some small details that i thought added to story and made me feel more connected to the characters. whole scenes were also left out so i felt whiplash when going between scenes sometimes because things weren’t resolved. if you’ve read the books before and you want some nostalgia these are a fun way to read the series again, but they don’t really add anything and you will be lost i think if you have never heard of these books before.

This is a fantastic new take on what's become a modern YA classic. I found it easy to follow along with and read, even as someone who doesn't read graphic novels routinely. The story is just as well developed and enjoyable as the original format. And an easy one sitting read.
Read if you like:
▪️graphic novels
▪️kissing only
▪️love triangles
▪️first love
▪️fake dating
▪️epistolary chaos
Thank you Simon Teen for the gifted copies.

i received a digital review copy from the publisher as part of their influencer program. i am leaving this review voluntarily.
in this graphic novel adaptation of to all the boys i’ve loved before, lara jean’s love life gets complicated when all of her ex-crushes find out about her love for them at once. one of these former crushes, peter, proposes a fake dating plan to make other people jealous, which lara jean agrees to. as their “relationship” progresses, though, lara jean realizes peter might be a better guy than she initially thought.
i first fell in love with this series in junior high school, so of course i had to request the graphic novel adaptation when i saw it!! i loved the sweet moments this graphic novel brought in, such as scenes between lara jean and her sisters, the hot tub scene, etc. unfortunately, this format did make the book feel more rushed. i wish they could have split this book into two volumes or extended the length of this one to help make a more well-rounded story. still, though, this was enjoyable! i’m looking forward to the next book’s adaptation.

Unfortunately, most of my feedback for this book is going to be negative, but I'll start with a couple of things that I liked.
I loved seeing the love letters that get sent featured throughout the book. They each get their own page and are really cute. It was nice to have them almost as their own character.
Also, the art style is really cute throughout. It all feels very much Lara Jean with bright colors and bows and baking supplies. The art style is an extension of who she is as a character, and I loved that it's shown off in this way.
Now onto the negative...
The main thing is that Peter Kavinsky, the love interest, is not likable at all. He pitches a fit like a toddler about everything, he's not charming in any way, and he's really selfish. I know he's a teenage guy, but still. When you're the love interest, you have to have some redeeming qualities. Josh was only marginally better, but I still found myself rooting for Josh over Peter. Truly, I hoped Lara Jean wouldn't end up with either of them, but since it's a romance, I picked the lesser of the two evils.
The story is set up almost in vignettes. It felt like every 1-2 pages was a different scene. We didn't stick too long in one place or one situation. I was jolted most of the time because there wasn't a transition for 75% of them. It would just jump to the next scene and try to give a brief description about where we were and what was happening.
But the descriptions were a bit confusing because the bubbles were set up kind of odd. I'm not sure if things will be changed in the final version (as I read an advanced copy), but it was often hard to tell if the speech bubble was a thought, dialogue, or description. Sometimes they were different colors or shapes, but it didn't feel consistent enough for me to understand fully. And sometimes the assumed dialogue bubbles weren't linked to a character, so I would have to do detective work to figure out who was speaking. I read a lot of graphic novels and comics, so I know that things should be easier to navigate.
Overall, I was not a fan. Maybe if you're a diehard fan of the books, you'll like this adaptation. Otherwise, I wouldn't check this out.

overall, most of the details were almost on point! i loved the visuals in general and the characters were drawn well. i didn't appreciate how kitty's swim meet was drawn, it did seem to degrade swimmers, making it look like they just kick, when in reality we don't kick at meets, we actually swim and swimming competitively is really difficult. it also felt like some of the scenes would randomly cut off and i didn't feel like i was getting the full effect of them. other than that, i thought this was a great representation of this book, even if i don't like the original book by jenny han.

FTC DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy of this book. A positive review was not required. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.
I've seen this book (and the movies and the spin-off) around and knew the general plot, but I decided to give it a try in the graphic novel form.
Really cute, cozy art style! I loved the Christmas scenes especially. The only thing I found visually confusing was sometimes telling Josh and Peter apart, but other than that, the book flowed smoothly.
The story, though? Loved the sisters and how tight knit they were, but the different boys were trash or if they were nice it was the bare minimum. I didn't see the chemistry between Lara Jean and Peter either. I don't know if that was just my own sensibilities, the adaption, or the story itself.
CW: mild swearing. Mentions of sex. Emotional cheating, dubious consent kisses.

I probably would've liked this if I was an actual teenager but also this bitch is stupid. I don't know what happens in the next 2 books but wow leave both of these men behind 💀 literally find someone else both of these dudes are assholes. Also ew why would you want to date a dude that had SEX WITH YOUR SISTER?!?!?!??!?!?! FUCKING NASTY
But I kinda enjoy the stupid drama. So happy I never had to deal with stupid boys in high school.

I’m really happy they got the color symbolism right, because that’s one of my favorite parts of the movie. Turquoises and pinks, plus red whenever LJ is facing something that scares her 👌👌
Lara Jean and Peter looked perfect (I love Lana and Noah but this was a lot more how I pictured them in my head), Kitty was adorable, they drew Josh as way too cute tho it made me mad 🤪
My fav panels: LJ and Peter walking through the halls (the art 🤩), Lara Jean baking (perfection 🥹), all the letters and scrapbooking (they honestly could have done more with this and it would have been so cool)
Honestly tho, they cut SO MUCH and it was highkey pmo 😡 I get that they wanted to minimize text but LJ and Peter didn’t have a single deep conversation, and that is the whole FOUNDATION of their RELATIONSHIP, which made the whole story seem so UNREALISTIC and TRIVIAL and how DARE they misrepresent my emotionally-mature cinnamon rolls 😒
All in all it’s great bonus content for any fans (still glad I bought it 😛) , I just hope no one reads it as a standalone! 🤗

4⭐️~ The art was gorgeous!! The plot was a little rushed but it was so entertaining I barely even cared. I don’t usually like romance but something about this was addictive, I couldn’t put it down. (Lucas was the best character idc)

Hey, so, i hated that. Did I only hate that bc it was graphic novel format, or is it bc I actually super hate the story? I’ve only watched the movies and never read the books and maybe I deluded myself into thinking I like the story even a little bit just for Lana Condor?

I loved this graphic novel so much. I loved getting to revisit these characters and see the beautiful artwork bringing them to life.

I didn't know it was possible for me to dislike Peter more, but here we are

Cute story that follows the book and movie pretty well! My biggest frustration was that it seemed scenes were too sped up and that the transitions were abrupt. I feel like we didn’t get enough of each character’s arc, we just got enough to know the plot
Also, in this version, Peter was not likable. By the end, I was left wondering what Lara Jean even sees in him and how she could choose him over Josh (and I’m a Team Peter girly in both the book and movie). Also, Genevieve wasn’t built out enough to garner the hatred that propels the story forward.
The design is beautiful and I liked the distinction between the white and black though bubbles. The page designs were varied, and it was easy to follow along.
Overall, this was a decent adaptation, but not my favorite!
Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing for the ARC copy in exchange for my review!

i love this book but i feel like the graphic novel was rushed and a lot of plot points were missing. Sometimes i would read it and get confused on what was happening and the emotional depth of the characters was missing. The book honestly made me hate Peter which is weird because we are supposed to be supporting him and wanting him to win Laura jean over but he just comes off as shallow and not over his ex Genevieve.
