Isla and Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins, Restarting September 24th 2018

[Rachmi]

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.

Everyone welcome to join Courtney Lives On and me reading this book on September 20th!

My local bookstore hasn't gotten their copies of this, yet, so if I could have my order on or before September 20, I'll definitely be joining! :)

[CourtLovesBooks]

I still haven't ordered mine yet, I will be this Friday.

So excited to read it but at the same time am quite nervous too. My friends mostly didn't quite like it. Well...at least compare to book 1 and 2 this one is their least favorite.

[CourtLovesBooks]

I've heard that too but I've also heard that if you like Stephanie Perkins books then you'll still like it.

[Rachmi]

I hope I still like it. I liked book 1 and really liked book 2. I actually really looking forward to read this book, but I guess I need to lower my expectation now :)

[CourtLovesBooks]

I loved books 1 and 2 so I'm hopping I will at least like Isla.

(view spoiler)[ she's nuts. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[
"Listen. I like you, and you like me, so let's go find a secluded park and touch each other."

I seriously hope she doesn't actually say that to him! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It's not the best way phrase it! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ well so far nobody is cheating. what has gone wrong? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

This one is better than the others. Still not fantastic though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I need to start reading again. i lost motivation this afternoon.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm bored.

CHAPTER 19 (view spoiler)[ did they really expect to make it all the way to spain without anyone noticing? they were asking for trouble! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "I'm bored.

CHAPTER 19 [spoilers removed]"

Me too.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 26 (view spoiler)[ not got the faintest idea where that came from. why on earh did she break up with him when all we've heard for 26 chapters is how perfect they are for each other? this is totally a ruse and they'll be back together for the ;happily ever after' at the end. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

I finised last night. This was the best out of the three but it still wasn't good. So glad the series is over now!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Let's hope she doesn't write more!

[Princess]

I'm starting it right now :)

[Princess]

57% (view spoiler)[ this is supposed to be the part where I'm supposed to be angry at a character for not thinking rationally, but I'm kinda seeing myself with her. Why?!?!? (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[ Do you have a girlfriend?
Uhh no, not at the moment well this is some kind of cheating right? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I'm starting now.. SO late

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ This sounds just like another book I read recently.. Girl with best friend who is the kid of her mom's best friend and isn't even considered an option romantically.. We'll see if it stays that way.. I could see Kurt having feelings for Isla but it's early. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Abbie wrote: "Chapter 1 - [spoilers removed]"

Right? I've never acted that different from my true self on any pain killers

[Rachael]

Oh.. I'm interested to see how these characters tie into the characters from the last book.. So far I don't see any characters I recognize

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They do turn up eventually! Big scene with Anna at the end ☺

[Rachael]

Ohhhhhh high functioning Autism... That's why Kurt had that little fit in the cafeteria.. Interesting. I hope Josh is super sweet towards him and not like her old bf Sebastian

[Rachael]

Ohhhh Josh is Rachmi's old bf! That's right duh, I remember them now

[Rachael]

Pretty uneventful so far... Where's the drama?

[Rachael]

This girl is totally taking the reigns in this relationship and it's kind of annoying... Everything is just so perfect and easy and unrealistic.. I'm not enjoying this so far

[rachel, x]

chapter four - (view spoiler)[Her obsession with Josh is a little weird. (hide spoiler)]

chapter eleven - (view spoiler)[Not much to say. They are a cute couple! How silly that they never said anything prior to this. I don't mind this. Not as good as Anna but better than Lola! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachel wrote: "chapter four - [spoilers removed]

chapter eleven - [spoilers removed]"

I'm the opposite, I didn't think Lola was as bad as Anna.

[rachel, x]

You didn't like Anna? :(

I didn't think Lola was as bad as Anna either.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachel wrote: "You didn't like Anna? :("

Anna was a bit of a laxative. Annoyed the sh*t out of me.

[Rachael]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ I'm rather over this book.. They are a cute couple but that's it. I don't care about all this stuff that's not happening (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "Rachel wrote: "You didn't like Anna? :("

Oh! I really like Anna. The (view spoiler)[cheating (hide spoiler)] thing is annoying, I totally agree with you girls there but I liked Anna otherwise. I really, really, really disliked Lola though. She reminded me a bit of Eleanor from .

[rachel, x]

Chapter fourteen - (view spoiler)[I really wish I could see the mural. It's sounds beautiful! I wonder how Kurt will react to it though. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 25 [spoilers removed]"

snap.

Anna was unbelieveably stupid. Lola was much better, but she seemed to improve at the end of the book.

[rachel, x]

Oh, what a shame you didn't like this series much! I guess our roles have been reversed from the These Broken Stars GBR. Speaking of which - do you know when the sequel is coming out? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think it's december ☺

[rachel, x]

Awesome! I hope its better than the first book. I don't like the cover of it though. :/

[rachel, x]

Oh is free on Amazon! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Not available on amazon.co.uk ☹

Sarah wrote: "Not available on amazon.co.uk ☹"

Really!? Oh that sucks! :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's not even on there. its often like that with the novellas though.

Well that's silly! What's the point of not having them? Is it territory rights or something?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No idea.
