Isla and the Happily Ever After, by Stephanie Perkins
5.0
It took me longer to read this book than it did for the others, I think that was mainly due to the fact that I did not want it to end.
When I started reading this I was like: Isla is a Fangirl!!!!
For starters: I loved Isla and Kurt`s relationship because they are best friends and unlike other books, we don`t know if Kurt ever liked Isla romantically because it was not mentioned so I assumed not because there is always that thing where one of the best friends like the other but the other one doesn`t realise it. But this did not happen in Isla and the Happily Ever After which I thought was good.
Secondly, Josh was super sweet in this book and he did nothing (except when he was on TV and told them he didn`t have a girlfriend) that frustrated me and everything he did for Isla was so cute I was smiling most of the way through it and especially at the end.
The one thing I hated about this book was Isla herself. She kept saying she was a distraction for him and she said all of those things to him which made me want to slap her. She got mad when she red the graphic novel with the parts with Rashmi in when she wanted to know all the ugly bits in Josh`s life.
I felt sorry for Kurt when she was broke up with Josh because he was like am I a distraction for you? Because she kept going from Josh to Kurt and she spent so much time with Josh that Kurt must have felt lonely so I was glad when we found out he had new friends.
When we find out Hattie was just lonely and was upset that Isla and Gen spent so much time together and no one spent time with her, I felt so sorry for her and just wanted to hug her. So when she and Isla had that moment I was like aw.
At the end when we see everyone together - from all 3 books - I was smiling throughout the whole bit and WHEN ETIENNE PROPOSED TO ANNA I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH FEELS!!! And then we see Lola and Cricket together, awwwww.
Then the ending chapter, I was crying because it was so sweet and cute and NEAR THE END.
I know I haven`t mentioned much in this review, it`s just that I`m still speechless.
