theestraven 's review for:

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
4.0

To be honest, I wasn't sure about this book. I found myself halfway through the story and it didn't connect with me as much as the other two books.

However, the fight Isla and Josh have is what make the book worthy of those four stars. I think that most of us have felt like Isla at some point. That weird feeling of not being enough, of not deserving any kind of love.

There is also the relationship she has with her little sister, and I can relate to that. I'd love to know more about those two, and how they get along after this book ends. I think I could learn something from that.

All in all, this stoy is pretty much like the other two. Very sweet and very real to me. I'm not usually pro love stories, not because I don't like them. I do. It's just that writers tend to tell them in the wrong way, in a way you cannot relate to them. They are nice but you know that won't be happening anytime soon, that's not how the whole thing works. But these feel real to me somehow.
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but who cares.
