I was expecting more. But I am back to Paris!
The the cicle ends: Anna, Lola and Isla - the perfect trilogy - end with this last one. Before the bad things, I have to admit that the way that Stephanie Perkins crossovers the characters from one book to the other is amazing and makes you cry.
Now, to the things I didn't like about this book: maybe it was my fault, but I got tired of Isla very quickly - probably because this kind of books only last 3/4 days but this one took more time because I am working and my reading hours are dedicated to... working. I am not complaining, but this is not the first time that I am reading a book and working (not at the same time) and this kind of tiredness never happened. So maybe it was the time and the character.
Immediately, I realised that something bad was going to happen really quickly because the story started in the opposite way: on page 100 they were already in love and dating and having the time of their lives. Something bad was going to happen and the way it did was awful and made me cry. But the distance that the characters had before that was boring.
Isla is interesting in the way that makes me remember Anna and Josh reminds me of Cricket. She isn't that unique character like Lola, but I believe that people could relate to her because she is a teenager in her senior year and doesn't know what she wants to do next - go to uni, sure but what course? I was like that on my senior year.
Josh is more likable than Cricket but I didn't fell for him the way that I did with St. Clair. Because St. Clair is unique. But he has this warm heart and is patient and likes to draw. Seriously, he is almost the perfect
In conclusion, I believe that I didn't appreciate this book as much as I did with the others but that doesn't mean that it wasn't good - it was, but it's not my favourite. I think it was boring, comparing to the other two. Anyway, I am going to miss these amazing books so much and I can't wait for the next book by Stephanie. Please, Stephanie, write!
