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.
