mybookdiaries 's review for:

Isla og den store kjærligheten by Stephanie Perkins

4.0

fast-paced

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

This was a reread for me, and since the Anna book held up, I thought this one would too. But honestly it didn't.  The characters (especially Isla) felt like they were only made to fall in love. She didn't have a personality and felt one-dimentional. And the side characters didn't matter to the story at all. But I love the atmosphere of both cities, and the school, though this book was way less atmosphereric than Anna. Even though this book wasn't fantastic I still read it super fast, in like 2 days, and it was so fun and nostalgic reading this, so that's why it's a 4 stars.
