From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren’t always forever.

Their romantic journey is skillfully intertwined with those of beloved couples Anna and Étienne and Lola and Cricket, whose paths are destined to collide in a sweeping finale certain to please fans old and new.

I received this free preview from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I feel like I've waited forever for a new Stephanie Perkins novel, so I was so excited when I saw a free preview on netgalley for her latest book, Isla and the Happily Ever After. From the few chapters that I read, I think Isla and Josh are going to be fantastic contemporary characters. In true Perkins fashion, Isla and the Happily Ever After seems like it's going to be a fun, sweet and amazing story that I am so looking forward too.

I am also excited about the setting. I love that we will be back in Paris again, but the two characters live in New York City, so scenes will also take place there.

I am already so intrigued by Isla. She seems like she is going to be so realistic and fun. I think a lot of teenage girls (and even adults) can relate to her. I can't wait to learn more about Josh. There definitely seems to be an interesting story there!

August 14th can't come fast enough!
