Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins (Review #95)

"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." Review: Stephanie Perkins does not disappoint. Isla was a lovable character from the beginning, and what really surprised me was that she appeared in Anna and the French Kiss ! That girl from the previous story ended up a key player and I was happy to see her story. Don't worry though, you don't need to read it to understand this one. It was heartbreaking and original and I felt Isla's turmoil, confusion, guilt, and frustration with every page. What also intrigued me was Josh's ex. she
