Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
4.0

It’s finally here! The last book in the series of romantic awesome.

Isla has been in love with Josh from her first semester. She’s the middle child and living far away from home in Paris. Isla is the perfect honor roll student who has never broken the rules. I wish I would have liked Isla. I did enjoy much like in all of Stephanie Perkins books that the characters are realistic with flaws and real personalities. Isla was insecure and scared about who she was throughout the story and tries to overcome that which I love since I love characters that grow.

Josh has uncaring controlling political parents. Everyone expects nothing from him and so he gives everyone nothing. He skips school and just tries to enjoy as much life as possible. He travels all over the world and draws, creating a comic book of his life.

Isla and Josh were an interesting couple. Both of them are insecure and have issues, but they’re cute together. They traveled together and became better characters for it. They both encounter issues, but it becomes obvious they’re better off together.

All of our amazing characters from past books made their way into this book which made this story all the better.

I honestly wanted to like this story but I felt it really fell short after comparing it to the rest of the series. Isla’s character wasn’t as great nor was this story as compared, which was disappointing.
