Tak jo. Nebylo to úplně dokonalé. Přiznávám, že tam byly pasáže, kdy mi to nepřišlo zcela bez chyb, ale pak tam byly části, které to bezvýhradně vynahradily. Isla a její příběh jsou super. V mých očích sice Annu a Étienna nic nepřekoná, ale Isla and the Happily Ever After bylo občas čiré potěšení číst. Celá ta kniha je hrozně hezká tečka za sérií, kterou Stephanie Perkinsová vytvořila, konec je konec nejen pro Islu, ale i pro ostatní páry. Prostě Happily Ever After.
Jak řekla Rainbow Rowell: "Stephanie Perkins's characters fall in love the way we all want to, in real time and for good."

Doorheen het boek heb ik mij op momenten wel slecht gevoeld wat wel jammer was. Hierdoor wou ik niet lezen. Het einde heeft het wel goed gemaakt.

Parts of this book was like reading pieces of my own relationships over time, so points for realism. I liked it. Read it in a matter of hours. That said, I need to recalibrate emotionally after reading two of her books back to back. Return to non-fiction should do the trick.

Such a delightful read that I had fun with all the way through. I was rooting for Josh and Isla the entire time and felt every emotion that Isla did. I really wish there were more books in this series. Please, Stephanie?

Loved it but GAH! I need more... Isla is my spirit animal at least in parts of this. I need to process what just happened

All the feels. I laughed. I cried. I felt my heart clench with joy. I loved this book.

Absolute perfection. More coherent thoughts coming soon.

2nd Time Through (3 stars)
The first time I read this, I gave this book the full 5 stars. That was two years ago and I feel like I have grown a bit as a person and this is no longer as lovely as I initially thought. My largest issue is Isla. While I have also been the position of being a senior in high school and not knowing what I wanted to do, I did not act as irrationally as she did. The world was not going to end if she was away from Josh. I also felt like the concerns she brought up with Josh about their relationship were completely valid and I felt that way about a boyfriend and yet the concerns were brushed away after a month apart.

this book was so so so perfect and I think I just died because of it's perfection. I think Anna might still be my favorite but this one is a very very very close second
