The day Isla Martin's universe explodes at the hands of Josh Wasserstein is here! Isla and the Happily Ever After is out TODAY! Josh has been a favorite of mine since Anna and the French Kiss, and although I didn't read any of these books until three weeks ago, I was beyond ecstatic that not only does Josh get a book, but so does another familiar face -- Isla (whom we met in Anna and the French Kiss). This final book kind of brings it full circle. It brought us back to where we first started and our lovely characters from the first two books made cameos, so the gang are all together and the trifecta is complete.
Like the first two, I've also created a Story Diary for
Isla and the Happily Ever After. There will be wonderlust-y photos of NYC and Paris and Spain, favorite quotes and more. We are at the last leg of the #IslaIsComing readalong that is hosted by
Andi's ABCs,
Cuddlebuggery (who made the lovely banner above),
The Perpetual Page-Turner,
Paperiot and
A Bookish Sinister Kid, and what a fun event it has been.

About Stephanie Perkins
Well, hello! I'm Stephanie Perkins, and I write novels for teens (and for adults who aren't afraid to admit that teen books are awesome). I was born in South Carolina, raised in Arizona, attended universities in San Francisco and Atlanta, and now I live in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. My best friend is my husband Jarrod. Our house is almost a hundred years old, and every room is painted a different color of the rainbow. We share it with a cat named Mr. Tumnus. I've always worked with books—first as a bookseller, then as a librarian, and now as a novelist. On weekdays, you'll find me at my desk, typing away, downing cups of coffee and tea. On the weekend, you'll find me at the movies, waiting for the actors to kiss. I believe all novels and films should have more kissing. For more information, please check out my
