Blurb
Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on brooding artist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And, after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer break, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to face uncertainty about their futures, and the very real possibility of being apart. Set against the stunning backdrops of New York, Paris and Barcelona, this is a gorgeous, heart-wrenching and irresistible story of true love, and the perfect conclusion to Stephanie Perkins's beloved series.

Anna and the French Kiss
Same Paris boarding school and slow-burn pining, but with a love triangle and a messier, more drawn-out will-they-won't-they.
Lola and the boy next door
Same author's sweet, chaste yearning, though it swaps European travel for a San Francisco boy-next-door reunion with more family drama.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
Another dreamy summer-long crush with tender first-love ache, but it's a slower, angstier love triangle between brothers without a tidy ending.
Fangirl
Shares the shy-girl-falls-for-quiet-boy slow burn, but trades travel romance for college anxiety and heavier family mental illness.
P.S. I Still Love You
Also sweet, low-heat teen romance with real relationship insecurity, though lighter and funnier with fake dating instead of European longing.
The Rainbow Rowell Collection
Same tender, low-heat YA first-love ache and slow-burn friendships, but grittier home lives and endings that ache more than they resolve neatly.
