![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's no surprise that Perkins saved the steamiest romance for this final book. Isla has always wanted Josh, and now that Josh is finally single (he had a serious girlfriend all through junior year), everything comes together rather perfectly at first - until Josh's risk-taking and broody family life (and Isla's crippling insecurities) get in the way. The wait is finally over, and Perkins' third protagonist, Isla, doesn't fall in love after months of platonic friendship like Anna did or reconnect with a childhood crush like Lola did but rather immediately after years of unrequited longing. Her swoon-worthy first two novels came out less than a year apart in 20, but, due to the author's self-acknowledged depression, fans had to wait nearly three years for the last book to get published. Perkins is extremely adept at describing adolescent romance, expressing the profound way in which attraction and desire can overpower and overwhelm the senses. ![]()
