   These are all pretty lighthearted books. I've finished reading 1, 3, and 4, and I'm currently reading 2. 1 is quite sweet; the male and female leads are childhood sweethearts who often bicker, creating a cheerful and lively atmosphere. I haven't finished 2 yet. I was a bit speechless when the female lead was being scolded, but it was satisfying to see her scolding back. Those with heart conditions should be cautious. 3 is particularly funny, with rich and memorable characters; it has both sweet and angsty moments. 4 is a bit chaotic in some parts, but I still think it's very entertaining. Of these, I like 3 the most. It was the first book I read, and I still remember the names and personalities of the supporting characters very well.
