Summary on Goodreads:
Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on brooding artist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And, after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer break, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to face uncertainty about their futures, and the very real possibility of being apart.
Review:
"In the past few months, the last traces of shyness and doubt have been removed from my step. I've found the Right Way. And I'm walking straight towards it."
This book... It was astounding! I loved every single word of it. I was affected from Isla's story more than the other two stories. (Even though no one can top Étienne from Anna and the French Kiss ;) ) I'm not sure how to explain my thoughts, this book left me speechless to say the least. Maybe it's because I could relate to this story the most. Isla's emotions were so raw, so real. I'm still filled with awe right now.
Josh's drawings... It was as if I could see them in front of me. I enjoy art, but it takes a lot to sway me off my feet by cause of a drawing. Well, Stephanie Perkins could do that without even showing me the picture. She is without doubt a tremendous writer. I could feel every single emotion, as if I was with them. I laughed with them, cried with them, even felt jealous when Isla did too. I definitely recommend this book (and the first two) to every one.
Seriously, read them.
