Se state cercando un libro dolce e romantico questo è il libro che fa per voi.
La storia tra Isla e Josh è molto dolce e piena di piccoli momenti che ti fanno credere che il vero amore può esistere.
Non posso dire che non ci sia del dramma o dei problemi di coppia, perché ci sono, ma quale coppia non ne ha?
In alcuni momenti ci sono state delle situazioni che mi hanno fatto storcere il naso per le scelte dei protagonisti, soprattutto la scelta di far leggere ad Isla il libro (davvero Josh? Dovevi proprio farlo?), ma che pensandoci mi hanno fatto capire quanto i due siano ingenui e ancora inesperti in fatto di relazioni.
La fine è giusta e romantica al punto giusto, però è anche un po' l'unico difetto del libro, perché è troppo corta e poi io volevo sapere di più sulla vita dei protagonisti.
Alla fine la scrittrice è riuscita a scrivere una serie piena d'amore che riesce sempre a farti battere il cuore.

3.5* Had lots of cute moments, but sadly it just does not compare to Anna and the French Kiss.
If you want to know my thoughts on this book read Ariel's Review. She literally took the words right out of my mouth. Every single thing she writes in her review, was exactly what I was thinking as I read and finished this book.
*Sigh* I wished I liked this book more. Sadly I was greatly underwhelmed. Meh.

I love Stephanies writing style, so sweet and easy to read, just like the rest of the series this book didnt dissapoint!
Aaaaw. Isla and Josh are definitely the sweetest couple of the year hahaha (After Ann-St.Clair, i guess?)
I really love this one. Better than Lola ❤
I really love this one. Better than Lola ❤
forget about Etienne and Anna, Josh and Isla are my favorite!
my heart is smiling.
no, really, this book is so much more better than Anna and the french kiss. whereas it was quite a good read and Etienne was charming as hell, Isla and the happily ever after will remain in my heart. i am also sure i'll be rereading it soon.
there was sort of an immaturity and underdevelopment in characters and the writing style in AATFK but IATHEA seems much more mature and the writing seems to have developed much more throughout the storytelling. it's not a huge difference but it seems quintessential and soulful.
i have been rooting for Josh and Isla since the first book and am happy and not at all disappointed with the way this book progressed. although, Isla's rash decisions, naivete and indecisiveness got on my last nerve, i felt like i was reading about real people from the real world.
Josh's character is much more in-depth and interesting than Etienne's, much more real. and Isla is insecure, naive, selfish and Josh is also pretty crazy. but that is what gives a book life: the rawness and crazy, flawed characters. AATFK seems way too ethereal and ludicrously odd compared to the rawness that is portrayed in this book. Josh and Isla's story is intense whereas Anna's and Ettiene's is playful. both of them are great reads but Isla and Josh have left a mark on my mind and heart.
i would choose this book and Josh and Isla's relationship over anyone else's in this series.

“There’s no story,” I say. “I saw you one day, and I just knew."
^This pretty much sums up the most of this book.
First, let's be clear: I enjoyed Perkins' [b:Anna and the French Kiss|6936382|Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1)|Stephanie Perkins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358271931s/6936382.jpg|7168450] and [b:Lola and the Boy Next Door|9961796|Lola and the Boy Next Door (Anna and the French Kiss, #2)|Stephanie Perkins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358271832s/9961796.jpg|7149084]. They were pure romantic silliness, I know, but I liked the characters, the cute flirtations and the mindless entertainment.
When this third book was released, I bought it immediately but some negative reviews from my friends put me off. I think I always expected to return to it eventually. Though, honestly, I wish I hadn't bothered.
For one thing, there is literally no story for at least 80% of this book. In fact, I'm still struggling to see it. The other books are about the usual crushes, tensions and jealousies that come with high school romances - like I said, mindless entertainment - but [b:Isla and the Happily Ever After|9627755|Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3)|Stephanie Perkins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1362064564s/9627755.jpg|14515040] does not even have that.
The book opens with Isla drooling all over herself and being unable to function in the presence of Josh. A couple chapters in and we already know he likes her. A couple more and they're making out. Where is the tension? Where is the will they/won't they?
Also, that aside, Isla's obsession with Josh is unhealthy and not even in a cute way. She literally stalks him online, looking up information about his family on Wikipedia and finding his house on Google. That's damn creepy. If it was the other way around, I would be afraid for the girl's safety. Plus, he is her entire life, her crush on Josh is the most defining characteristic she has.
“I like Josh so much that I actually feel miserable.”
“I’m dizzy. It physically hurts to look at him.”
She goes on and on about him. She ignores her friend because she's too busy thinking about Josh. She acts like a self-centred brat because she wants to go gallivanting around Europe with him and - surprise! - she can't just freaking do that.
The biggest problem these rich white kids have is whether to go to Columbia or la Sorbonne. I just don't care about them.
Also, a guy who says “Your sister’s kind of a bitch, huh?” is way out of line, no matter how hot he is or how true it is. My sister’s a bitch too, but no one but me and my brother are allowed to say it

Sød og rørende afslutning på Stephanie Perkins serie. Hun er god til at beskrive den paniske usikkerhed som teenagere føler når de er forelskede, hvor de overanalyserer alting, elsker hinanden i løbet af fem sekunder og adskillelse er lig med jordens undergang.
Som tegneseriefan er det fedt at se, at tegneserier spiller så stor en rolle for både handling og den ene hovedkarakter. Jeg er ret sikker på, at Perkins er inspireret af Craig Thompsons grafiske roman "Blankets"/"En dyne af sne" som er en selvbiografisk historie om Thompsons egen første, smertefulde forelskelse (læs den!)
Perkins er ikke ude i nogen form for samfundskritik her. Derfor skal leve sig ind i drømmen om at være en priviligeret, hvid amerikansk teenager, hvis forældre uden problemer kan sende en på kostskole i Paris og betale for college. Det er romance, men det er en god romance.
