2015 Reading Challenge: Isla and the Happily Ever After

sa right naman nang maiba
via Goodreads

The last book of the romance trilogy by Stephanie Perkins. I was expecting something more from this book because of the good reviews but I should've known better than to let my expectations spoil a good book. But don't get me wrong ha. I did enojy it and I actually like Isla (better than Lola). It's just I think things moved too fast. Yes, this is Lola Prude talking, ay, writing pala.

Okay. Given that Isla has liked Josh ever since their Freshman year so that makes it a total of four long years, I still think it's just too fast when everything happens within one month. And these, people, are seventeen-year-olds. Masyado pa silang baby, IMHO. And this actually reminds me not to let my future daughters read YA books- masyadong mapusok- and I don't want to give them any ideas. Haha.

Out of the series, my favorite still is Anna and the French Kiss and the most swoon-worthy boyfriend is still St. Clair. I think I liked Cricket pero pinakanakakakilig is Etienne. Well, I do think his character is really malandi. And out of all the female leads, my favorite is still Anna; the least, Lola. Isla, umm, Isla's okay. I think I liked her during the first half of the book when she was getting all giddy over Josh to which anyone who has had a crush can relate to.

Josh: So... you were serious? You wouldn't mind if I sketched you?
Isla: Yeah, I'd love that. I love youuuuuuuuu. What should I do?

Ang cute, no? But of course, sweet, "innocent" Isla isn't so innocent after all. Which was a little disappointing to Lola Prude aka me.

We've been only together for a month. How has it only been a month?

I also wonder about that, Isla. How has it only been a month yet in that span of time naisuko mo na sa kanya ang Bataan- sa España pa!

Literally

Three stars. And I thought the "rabbit rabbit" part was hilarious. Yes, I'm weird that way.
