![]() Yet, Anna is attracted to him and they clearly have a connection. When Anna moves to France to attend S.O.A.P., she is introduced to the characters. The elements of falling in love is noticeable in all three of the stories, Anna, Lola, and Isla. ![]() ![]() Perkins and Rowell write in a manner in which the reader can see emotions build and learn more about the characters themselves, not just bypassing key moments. What they do incredibly well is what I prefer to call “the movie-montage sequence.” Instead of seeing the two characters fast-forward fall in love, the authors write it out in detail, the small moments between characters such as hands touching or going out on a first date are written incredibly well. Perkins writes in a similar fashion to one of my other favorite authors, Rainbow Rowell. If you are like me, you need to read them from start to finish beginning with Anna and the French Kiss. Technically, Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Isla and the Happily Ever After could be stand-alone novels, but they are exceptionally well written and superbly executed by Perkins, reserving the right (in my opinion) to be read in order. Stephanie Perkins wrote an amazing trilogy. ![]()
