bkmuse7 's review for:

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

3.0

---

Set at the same French boarding school as Anna and the French Kiss. Isla (named after Prince Edward Island!) is finally noticed by the boy of her dreams Josh (who appeared in Anna as well). Things are going well . . . almost too well, when Josh is kicked out of school after a magical, but non school sanctioned overnight trip to Barcelona with Isla. But it's not distance that is truly separating them -- it's Isla's own insecurities, her deep rooted belief that she is not worthy of love. I would have loved this book as a teen (I can think many can relate to Isla's feelings), and I did enjoy it. The descriptions of Barcelona and Gaudi's art are especially appealing.
