Waiting on Wednesday: Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Title: Isla and the Happily Ever After
Author: Stephanie Perkins
Exp. Pub.: September 17, 2013
Publisher: 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.


I have to admit I like the original covers of Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door better.  But as with most cover redo's, I'm sure they will grow on me.  :)

  4. I have the first one and still have to read it. I know that they are companion novels and I don't have to read the other ones first, but I definitely want to read Anna & Lola before this one.

  5. Yep, you're absolutely right. Great minds DO think alike! :) I love this "series" of books. I wish they hadn't waited until the last one to change the covers, but I still like 'em. Hope they grow on you like you said.

  6. So excited for Isla! I can't wait to read more from Stephanie Perkins, as I have loved both Anna and Lola. I do have to say I'm not a big fan of the new covers. Great pick!

  8. I adored ANNA but not LOLA, so I'm hoping ILSA will return my love of all things Stephanie. And I'm with you - the older covers were better. Great pick! :)

    Here's my WOW
