    Okayy sooo, I really liked this book! I think my fav one of the series is definitely Anna and the French kiss but I enjoyed reading this book. This review has spoilers btw ‼️. One next Book series has come to an end now 🤗. My mind is kind of blank rn so I don’t really know what it say so this review is probably gonna be a bit shorter. Anyway, the first character we have is Isla, a senior who has had a long time crush on Joshua. Meet Josh, the boy who also played a role in the first book and is St.Clairs best friend. He’s a talented artist and wants to make a biography of all of his school years combined. They already knew of each other, but the 'meeting' scene was still very cute and played a big part in this book. Both of them went to Barcelona for a day (which they had really big consequences for) and the la Pedrera and casa batlló were mentioned, I didn’t knew of these buildings before so I googled it - and wow !! They’re really pretty I was shook 😭🤣. Josh and Isla became bf and gf after exactly 140 pages… but so many pages were left so I was like - oh shit there can’t be only good stuff happening and it certainly showed😭. Anyway, I really liked their chemistry and friendship. Kurt and Islas friendship was so wholesome too. I’m glad this book handled insecurities and sibling bonding, cause a lot of the time I could kind of relate to Isla about her not loving herself🥲. One of my fav scenes was definitely when Josh,Isla,Anna,St.Clair,Meredith, Lola and cricket all met up - it was honestly soooo incredibly wholesome !! And oh my gosh, st.clair proposed so Anna and him are now engaged?! (I mean kinda cute, but they are both only 19 so I was like uhh Okayyy?? 😭) . This book at fluff and angst and I really enjoyed this journey🤗.

    4.5 After the first two books I never thought that I would rate a Perkins book 5 stars. The other 2 books were cute but just ok for me. This book was almost perfect. I absolutely enjoyed the most of it. There was only one part to the end, I didn't like that much. I love Isla and Josh. Also, the graphic novel must me amazing. I just wish the book would have contained some of it.
