Synopsis:
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.
My Honest Opinion:
With this particular story I was thinking 4 or 4.5 stars. Until the ending the ending blew me away. I was just a pile of mush by the end. My favorite was Anna and the French Kiss. Until the ending. I love them all. But the ending was just OMG so sweet and so many emotions go through you while read it. Anna and Lola are both amazing books. All 3 books have their own personality. But I can see why some people say Isla is there favorite. Because the ending is my favorite out of the 3 books. But Anna is just my favorite for overall books. 
I love how the ending of this particular book wraps around all 3 books. It gives a great ending for the 3 people in this book. I just loved that. 
I love Isla and Josh together. I didnt think about Rashmi being with Josh in the first book. It didnt really cross my mind so I may reread that story. Just to see what they were like together. Isla and Josh really work well together in my mind. I love all their intense moments from their first kiss. To their more intimate moments. Their first kiss was about 100 pages in and I love the way their kiss played out while they were playing with each. The whole "if you were my girl" that whole scenario it was just so funny to read until the kissing moment. I loved it. Then they go into the flirty kisses where they both fall in love with each other. I love how the author took a whole chapter for the I love you part. I loved this authors writing style. These 2 characters in my mind had some intense chemistry and some emotional scenes together. Above it all I loved it. The ending is definately my favorite. I cannot wait to read what else Stephanie Perkins has. I will definately be reading more of this author.
