“For Isla, her City of Lights crush on Josh must have seemed almost hopeless; the introverted cartoonist was clearly too preoccupied with his drawings to notice any girl; but eventually, as in every heart-lifting Stephanie Perkins teen romance, all good things happen to the young couple. The sweet conclusion to the much-beloved Anna and the French Kiss series. (P.S. Series enthusiasts will be gratified to learn that Anna, Lola, Cricket, and Étienne all receive meaningful cameos in this novel.)”
