I'm Happy after buyingThis Lola Next Door Stephanie Perkins
I didn't think it was possible to read a book better than Anna and the French Kiss but somehow Stephanie managed. It was extremely refreshing to see a "sophomore" book that exceeds the first book. The relationship between Lola and Cricket is even sweeter than the one that developed between Anna and Etienne in the first book. They have a lot more history that comes into the book together and you can't help but push for them to be together.
I also loved that see a lot of glimpses of Anna and Etienne in this book. While I would love to read a whole series about them I recognize that it would not be a good thing. It's like when chocolate cake sounds good despite being full. You eat it and then regret it. Thus, I think another book with solely Anna and Etienne would be much the same. I must say though it was nice to see them again in this book because I always wonder what characters would be doing later on after the bulk of their story is over.
This is such a great book that I don't want to give anything in the storyline away. So I am going to leave out my own summary of the book. I give Lola and The Boy Next Door a 5/5. It is definitely one of my favorite books of 2011 and probably my absolute favorite YA romance of 2011. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in this genre.
I've researched it to Google, and no specific answer comes up. I am dying to know what Cricket Bell's bookcover model's name is, so that I can google it for more pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am applying for a 6th grade camp councilor and I need a list of 6th grade books for them to read. I like if they are realistic fiction or fiction books. Nothing scary like vampires, etc.,..... Fun to read. Maybe not too easy and not too inappropriate for them to read either. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI read lots of books quickly and I dont know which books to get next, I enjoy books like the Harry Potter series, Hunger Games Series, Twilight, Gallagher Girls and the Georgia Nicholson series. Basically, any books where the girl falls in love with a hot guy, whether he is a werewolf, vampire or a human. Any goods books you can suggest?
