chloemgonzales 's review for:
Isla and the Happily Ever After
by Stephanie Perkins
This book is gorgeous and my favorite in the series, which shocks me because the other two were really cute. What sold it for me was Josh's graphic novel and Isla's reaction to it - both times.
"I kick at my sheets. I'm thinking about rabbits. I'm thinking about too-tall French girls. I'm thinking about Josh thumbing his nose at an education I've chosen to take seriously. It's never bothered me before. Why is it bothering me now?"
"I take another deep breath, and... there it is. A new and distinct smell in the air. Hattie turns her head and smiles at me as the first snowflakes of the year swirl down upon Paris. The city is cold and hushed and beautiful.
'Will you miss this next year?' she asks, and when I look at her in surprise, she adds, 'Maman told me they mailed the first check to Dartmouth.'
I hesitate, and then I tell her the truth. 'I will miss Paris. And I'll miss New York. I'm excited and scared, but... I think I'm more excited than scared. I think,' I say a gain.
'You think?'
'I think.'"
"And then there's me. Again. He's chronologically added the panels of the first time we spoke, when he saw me reading the Sfar book in the cafeteria. He's even added a tiny heart above his head while he speaks. And then a broken one when he thinks that I don't like him.
I touch the broken heart with the tip of my finger."
