REVIEW: Isla and the Happily Ever After
Posted: 06 Nov 2014, 18:53
This book was really adorable and there were a lot of moments were I thought that the relationship of Isla and Josh were super cute, but there were just some aspects in this book that I really didn't like.
While Anna and Lola both had characters that really blossomed on the pages, I never really connected with Isla and I actually really rooted for Isla or enjoyed her that much in the book. Isla is a character that I could relate to because she is still trying to find place in life and that is something that is happening in my life now.
"Josh is a beautiful, messy, passionate work of art, and I'm … a blank canvas."
Josh was a little better than Isla but I also couldn't connect to him as a character. Josh is a cartoon writer and he is drawing his life in a cartoon memoir. I was always a little bit interested in Josh ever since Anna and the French Kiss and I liked that aspect of the crush Isla had on Josh in the first book. But they were rushed together into a relationship within the first 50 pages and it could be seen as insta-love, because it kinda was.
Even though the conflict in the book wasn't my favorite, I really liked the aspect of Islas relationship with her sisters because it was something that I could see a lot of people relating to. Of course my favorite scene in the book was when all of the characters from the past books came together and its was laughing and happiness all rolled into one scene.
So I would recommend this book to people because all together it was a cute story, although I do not have the desire to read this book again. It could be someone else cup of tea!!!
