Lola and the Boy Next Door by 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 neighborhood.
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.
Synopsis from Goodreads

“Calliope’s voice rings inside my head: The special trips home to see you.
An uncomfortable question lodges itself in the pit of my stomach. And what am I doing right now?
Making a special trip to see him.”

Is this book a sequel to Anna and the French Kiss or is it just written by the same author? I liked the first and haven’t read this one. Anne’s Friday Post
It’s a sequel – Anna and Etienné appear in this as well (as supporting characters!) It’s not quite as good as Anna and the French Kiss but it is still worth reading. 😉
I’ll definitely read this book and its predecessor. They sound delightful!
Here’s the link to my Friday post: STRONGER THAN THE REST.
They are really good – I would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good romance!
Sounds like love to me, and perfect for Valentines!
Happy weekend & happy Valentines day!
Thanks – same to you. 😀
Will you allow me to share this on twitter?
Of course. 😉
I just participated in a book swap, and it seems like everyone was talking about Anna and the French Kiss! I really need to try to check out these books!
They are great books – looking forward to the last book in the series too. 😉
Oh, and I’m linking from Friday 56!
