![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However I was keen to complete the series and see how it all wrapped up. I was both dubious and eager to jump into ‘ Isla and the Happily Ever After.’ I did enjoy the previous two novels in this series, but wasn’t really blown away like many of my friends, so I started reading with trepidation and low expectations. 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. And after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on introspective cartoonist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last? Capturing misshapen love across International borders. ![]()
