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

I first read this book in May of 2013, and fell in love with Lola and Cricket's story. For some reason, I never wrote out a proper review for it though (although I do have reviews for Anna and the French Kiss and Isla and the Happily Ever After)
I just finished my first reread of the book, and it was the audiobook version. It was so good! I was so happy to be back with Lola and Cricket again! I love that this story is set in San Fransisco, and I just love all of the characters!
Lola reminds me of Katy Perry, wearing these gorgeous costumes! I think she's such a fun character to read about! I love that she lives with her dads and her dog, Heavens to Betsy. I love that she's a vegetarian like me (that's just something that I dont' read about a lot so it really stands out to me!)I love that she basically only works at a movie theater (with Anna and St. Clare!!) just so she can afford all of her clothes and supplies she needs for her costumes. I think they are so special mainly because she makes them herself. I can't sew, so I always think it super cool when others like Lola can create entire outfits! Like how on earth can you do that?!
I love that Cricket's sister figure skates, because I've always been interested in ice skating! Cricket... what a name.. what a guy. I love that he's an inventor. I can't say that I've read many books where the character makes another character mechanical parts for the skirt of a Marie Antoinette costume.
I can't stand Max, and honestly I'm not sure that anyone likes him while reading this book. I think we all were happy to see that loser go.
This is just such a sweet and fun story, and I highly recommend this to contemporary lovers! <3
I wish Stephanie would write a whole series about these two.. I know we get to see them for a second in Isla and the Happily Ever After, but I'm anxious for more of their story!
