Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
5.0
WHAT A BOOK.
Holy Hades guys. This book was pure swoon. It had the whole shebang.
I was told by numerous people that Isla and the Happily Ever After was not as good as the first two books in the series, but it just shows that it all comes down to the individual, because I must say that this was probably my favourite one of the three. Like, I don't even know how to compliment and praise Stephanie Perkins because my words cannot amount to the great volume of emotion that I experienced. She's such a wonderful writer and knows exactly how to hit you in the heart with the romance and drama.
The characters in this book were relatable, just like the characters from the first two, and it was so easy to just get where they were coming from. The setting is always right in a Perkins novel, so I don't even need to talk about that. Yes, Isla pissed me off a little bit, but her position in the relationship and her motives for thinking her own separate way were totally understandable and I really liked her courage and admired the stamina that kept her going throughout the rough parts of her life.
All in all, it was a truly fantastic conclusion to the lovely series and I am SO SAD that it's over.
To all you contemporary readers, I cannot recommend this to you enough.
Verdict: bring on book hangover #3
