But this theme is only half-hardheartedly expressed in the book, and that’s only toward the last few chapters. Isla herself actually has an interesting inner conflict, she’s insecure about herself and thinks she isn’t worth loving, which is totally understandable and relatable. Most of the narration and plot mainly centers around Josh, Josh, and Josh, and honestly, it’s a little weird. This novel has mastered its fluff components, but there is a severe lack in depth with its themes. I definitely had a fun time reading it, because most of it was pure fluff, which I didn’t expect. It was very addictive and easy to read, which is why it’s so hard to rate the book. The plot + writing: Perkins’ novels are always very entertaining and never boring, and Isla was the same.
Clearly my least favorite and weakest of the contemporary series, Isla is an engaging and fairly likable love story, but lacks the right amount of depth that made the other two books winners.
Well, allow me to be the rebel and rate it a neutral 3 stars, because I just can’t seem to overcome the conflict this book put me in. Or at least, that’s what Goodreads seems to say. Isla And The Happily Ever After is one of those books that is either loved greatly or hated with a burning passion, with no in between. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to confront the challenges every young couple must face, including family drama, uncertainty about their college futures, and the very real possibility of being apart.įeaturing cameos from fan-favorites Anna, Étienne, Lola, and Cricket, this sweet and sexy story of true love-set against the stunning backdrops of New York City, Paris, and Barcelona-is a swoonworthy conclusion to Stephanie Perkins’s beloved series. And after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer, romance might be closer than Isla imagined.
Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on introspective cartoonist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last?
