Lola and the Boy Next DoorBy Stephanie Perkins
Dutton Books, 2011. 338 pgs. Young Adult
Budding costume designer Lola lives an extraordinary life with her two dads, beloved dog, and dating a punk rocker. However, when the Bell twins return to the house next door Lola recalls both the friendship-ending fight with Calliope, a figure skater, and the childhood crush she had on Cricket.
In this companion novel to Anna and the French Kiss we meet quirky Lola who loves costumes and living in San Francisco. She works at the local movie theater with Anna and St. Clair, however her story is all her own. Through the novel she matures, works towards making peace with her mother, and discovers that falling for the boy next door isn’t so bad after all.
This was a fun read, but it isn’t squeaky clean.
