Note: I write in sorta jumbled messes so yeah :P
Okay, let's get right into this book talk, and this will have spoilers, so don't tell me I didn't warn you. ;) This book was so cute! Oh my god that proposal though, I mean I know this is about Isla and Josh, but man that part made me soooooo happy. :DOkay I wanna talk about the first few scenes of Josh and Isla, when they were at Kismet. Lol, when she just yelled out his name, Josh! I would of never had the courage to do that. I would just cower in a corner, and hopefully my crush would notice me, but yeah no. Anyways, I thought their loopy conversation was absolutely so cute. :)
"He watches me quietly for another minute. 'So...you were serious? You wouldn't mind if I sketched you?'
'Yeah, I'd love that.' I love youuuuuuuuu."
It would of been really funny if she accidentally said "I love you" out loud. Would of been priceless. Here's another quote that I liked.
"Isla," he whispers. "It's time to go."
I lift my head from the table. When did it get there?
"Kismet is closing."
"What's Kismet?"
:'D
Then chapter 2 is like this: Ohmygod what the hell did I do last night????????
:"D
Okay let's talk about the first date now! God those displays were uh...interesting.
"A collection of puppets with crayons shoved up their asses.
"That looks..."
"Uncomfortable?" Josh finishes.
"I was going to say like a very colorful suppository."
:'"D Just wonderful.
The punchlines with the Finnish exhibit and the lady with the dead purple fox, just best date evarrrr! Well except with the bloody nose...:/
I just had the feeling they were gonna get caught in Barcelona, I mean it just had to happen, for some conflict in the relationship, but that trip was still frickin great!! :D
Personally, the reason for Josh's and Isla's breakup was kinda stupid to me. Quote from Isla, "You don't love me like you think you love me." *frustrated sigh* HAVE SOME FAITH IN YOURSELF ISLA. To be honest I was pretty confused about the reason she just broke it off when I first read it, so sorry if I may be misinterpreting the breakup, but SERIOUSLY ISLA! You think that you are just a placement in Josh's life, but girl you basically are his life!!!
Let's talk about Kurt! I was kinda worried that Kurt had feelings for Isla. Don't get me wrong, sure Kurt could and can have feelings for her, but I didn't want this whole choosing and feeling guilty thing if she chose Josh. But Kurt was such a great friend with her, and I'm glad he found some other friends. :D
The clothing exchange with the shirt / hoodie and the scarf was just adorable!
And guys that mural, was just-- *sighs happily*That memoir of Josh's life sounds pretty impressive. Plus can you imagine having yourself in it like Isla, well a girl can dream. ;)
Oooooh and I love this quote:
"I smile up at him. 'Its beautiful. But what comes next?'
'The best part.' And he pulls me back into his arms. 'The happily ever after.'"Stephanie Perkins just makes me hope too much for guys like that ;)
Rating: 4.9 stars
Well that's the end of this book talk, sorry if this was a bit too short, I'm new at writing book talks. :)
