I was very sad to finish this book because it was the last of three of Stephanie Perkins' amazing trilogy type thing (although it wasn't really a trilogy...I don't know what you would call it). The books kept getting better, and I think that 'Isla' may have been my favourite out of all three...maybe.
Getting a deeper insight into St Claire's friend Josh and his relationship with Isla was entertaining, although quite heart breaking. It is every girls dream to start going out with her long time crush, which made Isla's story so relatable. Watching Josh and Isla go through their ups and downs, their laughs and crys, their hellos and goodbyes, although exciting and devastating, is what made me want to read more.
I think all three of Perkins' books I read within a day each, and I'm pretty sure I was up until the early hours of the morning reading them because I couldn't put them down. And I'm devastated that their finished, but I'm happy to have been able to experience them.
I also loved how the characters from each of the three texts, Anna and St Claire, Lola and Cricket, Isla and Josh, were able to come together before the grand finale, and all the characters were able to witness a very special moment for themselves and the readers.
One again I give this text 5 BIG starts out of 5 :) Perkins has made me laugh, cry, sleep deprived and in love, and I would definitely recommend reading all three of her books to be able to experience the many emotions that I have over the last few days.
Thanks for reading Xx

LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR
WOW! After reading 'Anna' I honestly didn't think that it could get any better...and it certainly did. Perkins has outdone herself!
I loved almost every part of this novel. I loved Lola's relationship with her fathers, her falling out with her older rocker boyfriend, and her redeveloped relationship with the Bell twins. Lola is different from your typical teenage girl, and I thinks that's what made her character and story so interesting. I found myself not being able to put the book down because I wanted to keep reading about Lola and Cricket's "friendship" ;).
I also loved the fact that we were able to find out more about Anna and St Claire and how their relationship continued to develop after leaving Paris. Overall, the story line was great, the characters were not only beautifully written but relatable, as was the plot.
I give this text 5 stars out of 5 (I LOVE giving out full stars) as I can honestly say that it is up high with the best YA books I have read. Ten out of ten would recommend to any readers of young adult, love stories, and those you are trying something a little different.

I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN
Hi again!
Okay, here's the deal. I read Jandy Nelson's other popular novel 'The Sky Is Everywhere" a few years ago for school and recently bought the book and read it again. Because I was so in love with TSIE, I ultimately had high expectations for 'I'll Give You The Sun." I really don't want to talk down this books because it was overall a great read, it just took a while for me to get into it.
Firstly, I found it a bit confusing how one chapter was about one twin in the present time, and the next chapter was about the other twin a few years earlier. However, I also found this interesting and a creative technique. I was more interested in Jude's story and found myself skimming over Noah's chapters (sorry). But by the end of the text I had emotionally invested in Jude's life and her story with Oscar, and I admit that I almost cried a little at the end.
Sorry if this revue is confusing. In the end I liked the book, but I don't think it compares to how Nelson has written 'The Sky Is Everywhere.'
I give this text 3 stars out of 5 and although it's not for me, I'm sure a lot of people disagree with myself and would love to read it.
