Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
3.0
I find this series very cute with their light-hearted love stories.
Isla Martin has been in love with Josh ever since she laid eyes on him 3 years ago. And when they have a brief run in the summer before Senior Year at the School of America in Paris, she's hopeful. But nothing happens and she's not sure if it means anything. She's petite, cute and smart but she's not as innocent as she may appear. She'a had some experience in relationships before and she has many insecurities about her future.
“I don't care about anything. But I care about you.”
Josh Wasserstein is staying back a year while all his friends move on to college. With parents who lack an interest in him, he loses himself as he slips in school until he's on the verge of expulsion. He's noticed Isla before but misunderstandings have kept him away.
But with their mutual attraction, soon Isla and Josh start to hang out and fall in love. The time they spend together brings them happiness and their relationship becomes serious. And the night they truly give themselves to each other, the consequences prove worse for Josh as the last straw is pulled for him and they end up thousands of miles away.
Determined to stay together, they try to make it work but uncertain Isla lets her insecurities get the better of her and of them. With Josh's family going through a busy time, she herself has time to think, too much time, and ends up doubting their love and what it means. Ruining them.
Both of them miserable. She knows she's made a mistake.
“I smile up at him. "It's beautiful. But what comes next?"
"The best part." And he pulls me back into his arms. "The happily ever after.”
So yeah this book, not really my thing but I didn't struggle to read it so it was a nice easy read.
