Lola and the Boy Next Door (Anna and the French Kiss, #2)

D'AAWWWW, well isn't that just lovely.
Initial reactions:
1. GAH, the cuteness OVERWHELMS ME! *faints*
2. Okay. Serious business guys. Love the story. There are more things going on than just the boy next door. Family, figuring out who you really are, and growing up.
3. Writing is amazing of course. Perkins is able to write her main characters with such a voice. They are complete characters. I love how Lola has interests, and there are issues surrounding her life other than boy problems. And although she's her own character, you can't help but relate with her also.
4. Pacing is great! Lola's development as a character grew the more confused and distraught she got. She's learning and realizing what the right and hard things to do are.
5. OMG ANNA and ETIENNE. Oh how I missed you guys.
6. *GUSHES SOME MORE*
7. I love the setting of San Francisco. It has character, and a vibrancy about it that fits the characters.
8. It's really nice to read about the 'boy next door' character. They don't get enough attention, or usually pushed to the side by the mysterious, dark boy. Cricket, you are definitely my fav. boy next door. :)
9. *Tries to think of negatives.....* Can't be done.
10. Such a fun read. I wouldn't say it's light, because there are issues that I haven't really come across in books I've read before.
You'll smile ear to ear after reading this book! I certainly did. Video review coming up soon.

do you know if you have to read anna and the french kiss before so you'll understand this book? or are they totally different characters and whatnot? because i really want to read this one a lot more than anna and the french kiss

I don't think you need to read Anna first to understand this book. I believe they're all different characters.
There's actually some crossover, and reading Lola before Anna could potentially spoil some of the romance of the latter.
Thanks for the heads up, Anna! I'm VERY curious now :)
this book and Plague are my favourites for this month!:-))
Can't wait to see your review, Priscilla! Hope you enjoy it! :-)
uh CRICKET IS SO HOT! He's tall AND an engineer (I have a BS in electrical engineering). Seriously, I am in love.
these books seem so cute! I might give it a try in February for love month <3 hehe
I want to read this! I have so many book on my to-read list though. I guess I can skip a couple :)
i'm new to this whole website! how do you put your progress? :) and i want to read anna and the french kiss!
Just finished this one and loved it! I hope you enjoying it too :)

In the right side bar is a 'Currently reading' module. Just click 'update status', and change the page number and add a comment if you'd like :) Then click 'Save progress'.
Hopes this helps!
