Picoult suggests the subtle ways in which parents can place dangerous pressures on their children.— The New York Times Book Review

Always and Forever, Lara Jean (3) (To All the Boys I've Loved Before)
"Han's story is timeless. First love, finding one's identity in school and at home, and navigating the delicate transition from child to adult are all universal themes in young adult literature, and Han does a great job exploring them. She has written a sweet, coming-of-age love story that will surely please fans of the first two books who are likely clamoring for this conclusion."
P.S. I Still Love You (2) (To All the Boys I've Loved Before)
In this lovely, lighthearted romance...readers will remember the Song sisters and the boys in their lives long after the final page turn. ― School Library Journal, Starred review on To All the Boys I've Loved Before
To All the Boys I've Loved Before (1)
"Lara Jean’s personality—goofy, awkward, prone to strong emotions, and entirely naïve when it comes to boys—give this touching story an individuality and charm all its own. Han creates a realistically flawed cast, especially half-Korean Lara Jean and her sisters, who work hard to be good to one another after their mother’s death (even when they’re at one another’s throats)." ― Publishers Weekly, starred review
Wolfpack (Young Readers Edition)
A powerful resource for young people itching for change.

Then one summer it seems like he might have feelings for her too—but so does Jeremiah.

Allison is a memorable character wisecracking her way through despair. Her rock bottom, when it comes, is well-drawn and convincing.” ― Philadelphia Inquirer
