Book Review: Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins (Anna and the French Kiss #3)

14 September 2015


Published: August 14, 2014 
Publisher: Dutton
Pages: 400
Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance



Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last?

Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on introspective cartoonist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. 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.

Featuring cameos from fan-favourites 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.



Maybe my expectations for this book were way too high. I am still having trouble with how to rate this.

Book Review: Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins (Anna and the French Kiss #2)

Lola Nolan is a budding costume designer, and for her, the more outrageous, sparkly, and fun the outfit, the better. 

And everything is pretty perfect in her life (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend - Max) until the Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighbourhood. 

When Cricket, a gifted inventor, steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

Stephanie Perkins is life!

I want to start off by saying that you can read this book separately, it doesn't contain major spoilers from Anna and the French Kiss, although Anna and St. Clair are seen throughout it.

This is a light, cheesy and summery book. All the characters are very well developed and every single one of them brought something to the story.
