Lola & the Boy Next Door
Lola & the Boy Next Door | Stephanie Perkins
Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn't believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit-more sparkly, more fun, more wild-the better. But even though Lola's style is outrageous, she's a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighbourhood. When Cricket-a gifted inventor-steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door. 'You're going to fall in love with Lola and the Boy Next Door. Madly in love! Every page sparkles.' - SARAH MLYNOWSKI, author of Bras & Broomsticks and Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have)

This one grows on me more every time I read it. I didn't connect as naturally with Lola as I did with Anna, but I do love her voice and her sense of style! She's got a good journey. #reread #yalit #yaromance

It was a real delight to read this book. If you enjoyed reading Anna and the French Kiss, then you will also enjoy this companion novel. It was cute because of Lola and Cricket‘s relationship development. I also liked how Lola‘s eccentric, over-the-top clothing style is supported by the people who love her. This shows teens that even though they‘re different from other people, they should embrace it, not hide it.

I really enjoyed reading Anna and the French Kiss. When I heard this was a companion to it, I knew I had to read it. Lola is dating bad boy boyfriend, Max, whom her dads don‘t like. Then, the twins, Calliope and Cricket, move back in next door. Lola‘s attention turns to Cricket rather than her boyfriend.

Another cute romance novel full of cheesiness, cliches and stumbling after barely touching the dude she likes.

Started my new job this week, most of my reading for the next few months will be limited and full of manuals about my new job!!

Texreader Very excited for you! 4y

Why is it that the girl is always caught between two boys? When does that ever happen in real life? A little bit better than “Anna and the French Kiss”, but not by much. I did love the ending though with the stars.

This was the perfect read for a stormy weekend - visiting Lola & Cricket in San Fran made me forget about the rain and I loved spending time with these adorable characters.

I think buying books is my way to overcome pain and stress. It puts at ease and makes me happy.
I think I'm becoming one of those kinda old ladies that go into shops and buy shoes and bags and whatever.
I bought 7 books today. 7!
I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt terrible for a second, then.... I stopped.

1. The problem with being a book character is that usually something terrible has happened to them. I think I‘d go with Lola Nolan from “Lola and the Boy Next Door.” Stephanie Perkins‘ books are fluffy & romantic. Lola lives in San Francisco, makes her own alternative/sparkly clothes, her dad‘s always baking 🍪, & her love interest is a tall, lanky, adorable inventor-guy named Cricket. 🦗
2. Empire Records/Buffy ⚰️

monalyisha @ErinSueG Right? Like, basically *every* book should be titled “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” 😅 7y
Erinsuereads @monalyisha ABBBBBBSOLUTELY! 7y
MinDea "How funky is your chicken? How funky is your chicken? How loose is your goose? Our goose is totally loose!" Did you ever watch the movie or just the show? @JamieArc how many times did we watch this movie growing up?!? 7y
MinDea Empire Records is a great movie too!!! 7y
CoffeeK8 Two great picks for the movies, both so quotable! 7y
monalyisha @MinDea I watched the movie once or twice (Luke Perry!), but the show was my jam. 7y
monalyisha @ErinSueG my only regret is that Lola doesn‘t have access to magic (that‘s not part of her world). I might consider sacrificing some (SOME!) happiness/normality for magic! 🙈 7y
Erinsuereads @monalyisha that would be a fair sacrifice. 7y
monalyisha @ErinSueG like, maybe I‘d sacrifice the cookies. If there‘s any way to get me to give up baked goods, that‘s it. Weight loss? Nah. Magic? Fine. Although, I am imagining some serpent/temptation situation, only with a chocolate chip cookie instead of an apple. 7y
Erinsuereads @monalyisha hey here is what I‘m thinking though. You give up cookies in exchange for magic and then just conjure the cookies 7y
monalyisha @ErinSueG Ha! I thought about that, but it seems like it would be something written into the magickal contract. 7y
Erinsuereads @monalyisha ugh! There has to be a way to have your cookies and magic them too! 7y

Once upon a time, there was a girl who talked to the moon. And she was mysterious and she was perfect, in that way that girls who talks to the moons are. In the house next door, there lived a boy. And the boy watched the girl grow up more and more perfect, more and more beautiful with each passing year. He watched her watch the moon.

Para la diseñadora de moda, Lola, las prendas más llamativas, brillantes, y divertidas son las mejores. Es una hija ejemplar y una buena amiga con grandes planes para el futuro. Todo en su vida parece perfecto, incluso su novio roquero, hasta que los gemelos Bell se mudan de nuevo a la casa de al lado. Cricket Bell ha vuelto y quiere arreglar los problemas del pasado. Y Lola deberá reconocer sus verdaderos sentimientos hacia él. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was at the mall the other day and went into our local bookstore. Since I live in Sweden they mostly have Swedish books and the English books they have are usually really expensive. However, they had a sale and among the books, I found this gem for only 36 SEK (about 3 Euros). Imagine my happiness!

I needed this light, sweet romance this week. It's easy to get caught up in the happiness of it all. The only aspect I didn't enjoy was the "mystery" of what the neighbor "did" to Lola all those years ago. It sounds like the worst possible offense, and it's confusing when you find out the truth (aka "is that all?"). Besides that, it's an enjoyable, easy read!

Playing a bit of catch up on #riotgrams so here's my #bookishobjects: I've got a nice little pin collection at my work desk. I used to wear them on my lanyard at Barnes and Noble but needed a new plan when I got a desk job. Luckily the wall of my desk is stabby! (With special guest appearance by a Women's March postcard)

josie281 Stabby! I love it! 8y
MeganB @josie281 I couldn't think of any other word to describe it 😂😂 8y
josie281 It's perfect!! I'm excited to see your use of the walls because I just found out I may be getting a promotion to another department which has STABBY walls! 8y
MeganB @josie281 Ah!! Congrats, that's so exciting!!!! 8y
Chachic I like the "read fast, die young" one! If I had that, I would steal your idea of putting it on my work lanyard. 8y

#BookLove17 #UglyRomanceCovers Just to clarify, I don't think these are ugly. Jenna does.

eekabook I have to agree...I was so happy when they redesigned the covers for Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door. 😅 8y
Joybishoptx @eekabook we were in the library and I was telling her the topic and she didn't hesitate. "Lola. Lola is ugly." We have the redesigned one for Anna. 8y
CrowCAH What? I disagree. The Jess Rules book cover is beautifully arranged! 8y
Joybishoptx @CrowCAH I think so too! But she said it looked "unrealistic". I pointed out the novel is about vampires. It was a heated discussion. 8y
CrowCAH @Joybishoptx hmm the girl does seem entranced under vampire charm, so that would be realistic for the book genre! Case closed. 😄 8y
