Lola and the Boy Next Door 
By Stephanie Perkins
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Personal Rating:7/10

This is Stephanie Perkins second book and the companion novel to Anna and the French Kiss. Lola is a budding costume designer, and in her life, it's all about being bigger and flashier. Everything seems pretty perfect for her, until Calliope and Cricket Bell move back into town, and Lola is forced to reconcile her feelings for the boy next door.

I didn't like this book as much as I did Anna and the French Kiss, but it's still an incredibly fun and witty contemporary. Just like with her first novel, Stephanie Perkins is a master of character development. Lola and Cricket really jump off the page. I really enjoyed this book and there is a ton more to it than the synopsis lets on. A really fun, fast Valentines Day read.
