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.

“I've read a couple of this duo's books before, like Dash and Lily's Book of Dares, which I loved and continue to re-read every Christmas, so I was expecting to read another good book from Cohn and Levithan. Going into this I had seen a lot of negative reviews, mostly baout how pretentious the book was in its concept and execution, and while I thought that may have been a bit harsh while reading the first half, I could definitely see where this opinion came from - I thought the idea of these teenage twins hosting a dinner party sounded fun (it's fiction for a reason!) but when the conversations became almost existential towards the end I did find myself becoming slightly frustrated, and I did definitely hurry my reaidng along so as to finish it. Always well-written from these two, but I think the interesting concept of the dinner party fell flat towards the end.”

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. His acclaimed novels Boy Meets Boy and The Realm of Possibility started as stories he wrote for his friends for Valentine's Day (something he's done for the past 22 years and counting) that turned themselves into teen novels. He's often asked if the book is a work of fantasy or a work of reality, and the answer is right down the middle—it's about where we're going, and where we should be.
