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.
A Damsel in Distress
Another closed-door romance built on class barriers and misunderstanding, with a guaranteed happy ending, but comic and Edwardian rather than earnest teen longing.
Truly sweet
Same long-simmering crush finally reciprocated and friends-to-lovers ache, only adult, small-town, with a single mom heroine and far more heat.
Beautiful Creatures (Beautiful Creatures Series, Book 1)
Sorcerers & secretaries
Keeps the shy dreamer plus artistic charmer slow burn and low heat, but told in manga panels with a lighter, open-ended finish.
