Overview
This paperback bind-up gathers Stephanie Perkins's beloved YA romance trio into one giftable set. Readers travel from Parisian cafes to the hills of San Francisco and the sunlit streets of Barcelona, following three heroines navigating first love, friendship, and the ache of growing up. Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Isla and the Happily Ever After each stand alone but share a warm, witty voice and vivid sense of place. Together they make an ideal introduction to contemporary YA romance.
About the Books
Stephanie Perkins built a devoted following with a trio of interconnected contemporary romances, each set in a different city and centered on a different heroine, with characters from earlier books making welcome cameos later on. Anna and the French Kiss follows an American teenager sent to a Paris boarding school for her senior year, where an unexpected friendship with a charming classmate slowly deepens into something more. Lola and the Boy Next Door shifts to San Francisco, introducing a free-spirited costume designer whose carefully built world is upended when a childhood crush moves back next door. Isla and the Happily Ever After closes the trilogy, following a shy, artistic student whose long-held feelings finally surface, only to be tested by distance and the pressures of growing up. Across all three novels, Perkins pairs funny dialogue with genuine emotional stakes, exploring the insecurities and small brave moments that define first love. Each book stands alone, but reading them together reveals a richly connected world of friends and callbacks.
