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.

I have been waiting a long time ISLA, although to be fair it's been nowhere near as long as most other people, since I only read ANNA and LOLA for the first time just over a year ago. WELL. Let me tell you, this was well worth the wait!

I read ISLA in one sitting and I was completely and utterly consumed by the maelstrom of teenaged romance and angst. I was so caught up that I found myself practically hyperventilating and a little teary at a certain point, and it's been quite a while since a book got that sort of a reaction out of me. Yeah, there was a little bit of insta-love in the romance, but I can't even criticise that because it was founded in years of crushing on both sides. YEARS. I know I can relate to that from back in my teenaged years!
