Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3)

by Stephanie Perkins

Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on brooding artist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And, after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer break, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to face uncertainty about their futures, and the very real possibility of being apart. Set against the stunning backdrops of New York, Paris and Barcelona, this is a gorgeous, heart-wrenching and irresistible story of true love, and the perfect conclusion to Stephanie Perkins’s beloved series.

LIKED:
- I literally consumed this book and all its cuteness. Unlike Anna and Lola, Isla got with her love interest at the beginning of the book. Instead of focusing on all the struggles and complications that arise trying to get into a relationship, Isla's story focuses more on the problems and insecurities that happen during the relationship.
- Isla got to travel to multiple cities: Manhattan, New York City, Paris, and even went to Spain! Gave me M A J O R wanderlust (and I'm Miss Never-Been-Out-of-the-USA).
- Josh was a charming artist. And he was drawing an autobiographical comic book! Super cool.

DISLIKED:
- At first, Isla is borderline stalking Josh. Kinda creepy? Then they have their first date and it all calms down into something very, very adorable. So does this really count as a dislike?
