itsmeashley 's review for:

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
2.0

It's just not the same. I liked the books but it's not as good as the other two books. What made the other two books was that the other characters Anna and Lola both knew who they were. They didn't need a man to realize they were great. They knew they were. Isla wasn't her own person, she never became her own person and never knew who she was. She always needed someone to tell her and help her. It was a well written story but there was no buildup, Isla was obsessed with Josh from the beginning and Josh became obsessed or consumed by her quickly. I wanted to love the book, but I afraid it'll never top Anna and the French Kiss.
