Isla and the Happily Ever After
by Stephanie Perkins
To be published: September 17, 2013 by Dutton
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. [goodreads]
It feels as though I've been waiting for this finale for quite some time. I first fell in love with Perkins writing in Anna and the French Kiss, only to solidify that love affair in Lola and the Boy Next Door. So I have high hopes for this conclusion!
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I haven't read these books yet, but I was going to buy Anna a few days before the new cover reveal. Now I'm glad I didn't, but I still definitely want to read them! Hope it lives up to the expectations :)

My WOW post
I can't wait for this one! I loved Anna but still need to read Lola :)
ReplyDeleteYesssss. I feel like I totally don't remember an Isla in ANNA, though. Maybe I need to reread the books!
ReplyDeleteI just got Anna and the French Kiss so I can hopefully catch up to seemingly THE REST OF THE WORLD. ; ) I'm excited about Isla, too... even without having read the first two books. And I am kind of in love with this cover.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I've been meaning to read Anna and the French Kiss for ages and this one sounds just as good, great pick!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my picks, too! Super bummed they decided to change the covers, but still can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI loved Anna and Lola, and I can't wait to read this one too! Great choice. Thanks for sharing.

Heck yes! Most definitely. Now that there's a book cover, things feel real again. For a while I was wondering if it was going to happen because it kept getting pushed back. Yay for more Stephanie Perkins!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so, so excited for this book to finally come out! I've been waiting for her new novel ever since I read Lola & the Boy Next Door :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to get my hands on this one! I loved Anna and Lola!
ReplyDeleteYes! I am very excited for this one ... I love Stephanie Perkins and her first two books are high on my favourites list. :)
ReplyDeleteYES, can't wait for this! I am super bummed that they changed the cover design, though...now it won't match my copies of Anna and Lola. :(
