Isla and the Happily Ever After
by Stephanie Perkins
From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren’t always forever.
Their romantic journey is skillfully intertwined with those of beloved couples Anna and Étienne and Lola and Cricket, whose paths are destined to collide in a sweeping finale certain to please fans old and new.
A lovely book but sadly not as good as 'Anna'. A bit too much lust which detracted from the love. Very clever the way Josh revealed his feelings via his drawings, sometimes when a story is told in the first person you lose some of the depth of the other characters but this didn't happen here. I'm truly amazed at Stephanie Perkins' ability to describe teenage passion, that depth of feeling, the obsession, the inability to think of anything else but the loved one. Stunning!
Very nearly five stars but a few things hit a wrong note.
