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.
*Minor Spoilers*
Isla and the Happily Ever After is a YA romance novel and I wish it was a series because I relate to Isla (pronounced eye-la; like island without the nd) so much, minus the wealth, the multilingual skills, and the dual citizenship part. She is an avid reader with low self-esteem and an amazing best friend who many people think she is dating but they are like brother-sister.
She has no idea what she wants to do after graduating high school except that she wants to be with Josh. Like Isla, Josh is from Manhattan, NY but he attends high school in Paris, France. He's an artist who pretends not to care about anything but you can tell that he really does.
This is a wonderfully written story, with vividly different characters, in a beautiful setting. I was hooked very early on.
