Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah

By Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The New York Times Bestselling duo behind Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist and The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily return with twins out to throw the party of a lifetime--or at least the best party of high school!

Siblings Sam and Ilsa Kehlmann have spent most of their high school years throwing parties for their friends--and now they've prepared their final blowout, just before graduation.

The rules are simple: each twin gets to invite three guests, and the other twin doesn't know who's coming until the partiers show up at the door. With Sam and Ilsa, the sibling revelry is always tempered with a large dose of sibling rivalry, and tonight is no exception.

One night. One apartment. Eight people. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, we all know the answer is plenty. But plenty also goes right, as well...in rather surprising ways.

Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah Reviews

2.5
Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“i got this book because it was at my local library’s book sale and i totally understand why i was able to get a bargain on this for a dollar. it’s not bad. it’s a short read and very coming of age. i binge listened to this while i was cleaning my bathroom and cooking my lunch for the next day. i usually like rachel and david’s works but this one was whatever. it was quick to get through though if you want a fast read. this made me so thankful that i’m not narrow minded 😭”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“This is the third book that I have read by the dynamic duo of Rachel Cohn and David Levithan....unlike the Dash and Lily's franchise which have Christmas themes.....this one is more of one of the normal days where usually parties are thrown and got themes of sibling rivalry and relationship and like how the titular twins Sam and Ilsa are inseparable like two peas in the pod....”

About Rachel Cohn

Rachel Cohn is the author of critically acclaimed YA novels Very LeFreakYou Know Where to Find MeCupcakeShrimpGingerbread, and Beta. A graduate of Barnard College, she lives and writes in Los Angeles.

When not writing during spare hours on weekends, David Levithan is editorial director at Scholastic and the founding editor of the PUSH imprint, which is devoted to finding new voices and new authors in teen literature.
