Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last?
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.
Featuring cameos from fan-favorites Anna, Étienne, Lola, and Cricket, this sweet and sexy story of true love—set against the stunning backdrops of New York City, Paris, and Barcelona—is a swoonworthy conclusion to Stephanie Perkins’s beloved series.
Note: This short review is based off a sneak peek which was under 50 pages.
I was beyond thrilled when asked to read a sneak peek into Perkins next book release due out this August. I am a HUGE fan of the previous companion books. There is just something about Perkins work that immediately connects with you as you are reading. Isla and the Happily Ever After did that in just 40 plus pages. I cried out loud when it finished because I needed to keep going. I already feel attached to the book, Isla and Josh.
You always get worried how a author will top the last book or that favorite character everyone relates to, well I can tell with Isla she is going to be loved by many and Josh, as mysterious as he is in those few pages, you already like him too. Isla is socially awkward but its just too cute how she is affected by Josh. Can't wait to read the rest and see where Josh and Isla take their "friendship" too.
And if your wondering how Isla is pronounced, in the book its shows us:
It's Isla (Eye-la) and not Isla (Iz-la).
And Chapter Two was adorable:
"Ohmygod what the hell did I do last night?????????"
Perkins at her finest!

That is great that it was off to such a great start. I did love her second book with Lola and Cricket so I can't wait to finally read this one.
