Isla and the Happily Ever After
by Stephanie Perkins
I hated this book I had to force myself to finish it. So infuriating! I was so excited at first, I loved the first three chapters... Then it went down hill. I only finished it because I knew Cricket and Lola were going to make an appearance.
First, I hate reading about domestic life. Relationships are boring and they get together so soon! No tension, no sacrifice to convey feelings and all that made the two first books so addictive. And then we have Isla and Josh being disgustingly clingy. I couldn't bare it! I felt like puking and hitting them both with their whining and all that. They made such a fuss for being separated a few months. Little immature brats. Seriously?! Just a few months. It's not the end of the world, humans!
I despise clingy people. They are the worse. Learn to breathe without your partner, okay?
Second the incredible big plothole. Isla is shy, that's what made me love her at first, but once she gets Josh is like she forgets about that. She doesn't act shy around other people, she can talk back, she's not scared. A boyfriend doesn't cure your shyness! Shyness doesn't get cured! It's part of your personality. Ugh! And how can a girl that's shy and "doesn't want to draw attention" doesn't mind the PDA? The excessive PDA? The fact that she is half French doesn't take her shyness away. A shy girl wouldn't act like that in public! And it would take longer for her to be comfortable with her boyfriend, especially if she had a crush on him for so long! Is she hadn't been described as shy at first, just as socially awkward, it would've made sense.
Ugh it makes me so mad!
I liked Josh better in the other books, he's not as charming as the others. He just sounds desperate and clingy, too.
So, even if I loved Isla at first, I ended up hating her. I ended up hating Josh. I hated the book. My favourite part was when they break up (I actually cheered) and when the old characters make an appearance. That's the reason I gave it a star, if the old characters hadn't come back I would've just refused to give it even a star.
