As part of the #ReadIsla campagin, our friends at Penguin have given us an impossible task. They’ve asked us to pick Team Anna, Team Lola, or Team Isla. But how do we choose? (Darn you, Stephanie Perkins for making them all so awesome!) Since there are so many things that we love about each of them, we decided we just can’t pick one. So instead we’re going to state a case for all three of the girls and see if you can make a choice! Ready to find out what team you’re on? Here we go…
Team Anna
- Physical Description– Seventeen years old. Dark brown hair with one bleach blond.Gap between her front teeth.
- Born In– Atlanta, Georgia
- Current Location– San Francisco, California
- In ❤ With– Étienne St. Clair
- Our Favorite Quote–
“Har. Bloody. Har.”
He smiles. “Oh, I see. Known me less than a day and teasing me about my accent. What’s next? Care to discuss the state of my hair? My height? My trousers?”
Trousers. Honestly.”
- If You’re Team Anna, You’re Probably– Big-hearted, girl next door, emotionally charged, quixotic, outgoing, a little bit cheeky, committed, and someone who always make your friends laugh.
Team Lola
- Physical Description– Round face with ears that stick out more than she’d like. A curvy body. Brunette hair that she often covers with colorful wigs.
- Born In– San Francisco, California
- Current Location– San Francisco, California
- In ❤ With– Cricket Bell
- Our Favorite Quote–
“I don’t believe in fashion. I believe in costume. Life is too short to be the same person every day.”
- If You’re Team Lola, You’re Probably– Quirky, free-spirited, tenacious, authentic, imaginative, independent, and a bit headstrong.
Team Isla
- Physical Description– Long red wavy hair. Short. Freckles. Pale skin that blushes easily.
- Born In– New York City, New York
- Current Location– We can’t tell you without spoiling! 🙂
- In ❤ With– Joshua Wasserstein
- Our Favorite Quote–
“I wish the world would swallow us whole, in this moment. And that’s when it hits me that this – this– is falling in love.”
- If You’re Team Isla, You’re Probably– Smart, responsible, loyal, shy, adventurous, protective, a girly-girl, and a hopeless romantic.
Conclusion: Trying to choose between Anna, Lola, and Isla was like asking us to choose between Étienne, Cricket, and Josh. Oh, wait…
