Isla And The Happily Ever After

Isla And The Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins, 339 pages


Isla has been in love with Josh since she was a freshman but the few times they’ve interacted she’s never been able to talk to him and looks like a fool.  Finally, senior year, everything falls in place and the two of them become an item.  Isla is bright and studious, on track to being valedictorian at their exclusive American boarding school in Paris while Josh is bright but unmotivated except for his art.  He is also a little bit of a troublemaker, skipping class and breaking rules.  When he and Isla leave town overnight, something expressly forbidden, they get caught and Josh, having been in trouble so often before, is expelled.  Isla isn’t sure how she can stand to be apart but also doesn’t completely trust that his love for her will stand this test.  This is a really sweet but typical teen romance.  Although it’s kind of formulaic, it is a fun little story and I liked it.  Fans of teen romance and definitely people who have read Perkins’s other books in the series will like this addition.
