Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

3.0

Honestly, I probably would have liked this book more if I hadn't read it when I did.
If I'd read it sooner, like when I was planning to when it first came out, I would have been so happy with it and it's fresh adventures with adorable characters I already knew in a school in Paris that was just deeply enchanting. But I didn't read it when it first came out, I was put off for some reason and so I ended up reading it when I did which was directly off of The Raven Cycle.
Really, it could have been any book or series of books that I'd read this after, but being The Raven Cycle and with my utter loathing at my situation of having to wait for the next book, this was a rebound, and it deserves better than that.
I was too hung up on my Raven boys to really appreciate this book. Maybe I'll re-read it later, hell the whole trilogy and it will be a nice cozy weekend of adorable couples in Paris but until then, I'm just left feeling wanting. Probably because I'm still thirsty as hell for sleeping kings and cursed kisses. (Damn you, Stiefvater!).
It's cute though. Very rom-com, worth the read.
