Super cute and fun YA read that I breezed through. I loved that this connected to Mary Bennett. And gosh, the coolest to know an author— Green Chair team, forever impressed by you guys.
I did not like Lola for a large part of this book, but I knew because a friend recommended it, that there had to be something redeeming about her. As someone who loves hiking, I appreciated that Lola came to love the outdoors as much as I do. I am glad I stuck with the story to the end.
This book was actually really good
I didn’t enjoy it as much as Being Mary Bennet but I think that’s just because I liked the book references and Marnie was amazing and plus the vibes of that book were immaculate
Okay anyway back to this book
I liked Lola sometimes she got on my nerves but I think that was kind of the point of her character I liked going through the process of her character development I felt like I was going through it with her which was cool
I loved the love interest and I’m glad Lola got some time to be alone and not date anyone
I think that after disgusting Tully she needed to be alone and find herself
I loved her crew and all the characters are my favorite
I’m really sad she’s not gonna be making anymore books about the family but I can’t wait to read any new books she writes
And this book honestly made me want to go on a hike which is crazy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lola at Last is published by an imprint of HarperCollins and as such I will be withholding my review at this time in support of the HarperCollins Union strike. I look forward to reviewing this title once HarperCollins has worked with the union and agreed to a fair contract.

ok i LOVED Lola, she honestly should have been even more annoying in the beginning (and that would have made her more endearing to me!) - flawed, grey characters are my fav. the growth of the characters was so great to see, while still feeling true to the teen/coming of age theme.
i personally also loved the little shoutouts to the bay area since i had recently visited.

Idk if controversial opinion but I don't think this should have had a romance at all. It felt so underdeveloped and I was never really behind it. Her falling in love with nature and making hiking friends hit harder for me.
Also I thought they were just gonna dump her in the woods the whole time but no she got to go home lol just had to hike a lot.
I didn't hate it though and Lola's character growth was good. The way they kept mentioning things that happened in the past though made me feel like I missed a book which apparently I did? Even though it's a companion book about her sister?
Personally Lola should have been worse in the beginning.

( I listened to the audiobook of this so I will also be talking about to narrator's performance)
this book was perfect to pick up just before summer it really got me in the summer and camping mood. part of me does wish I saved this for a camp read because it made me want to go hiking and camping so much. The characters were loveable but had flaws just like all humans and they worked on them throughout the book. this book is a great book for people who are trying to find themselves. Sara Sheckells was the perfect Lola she was able the capture her emotion and personality perfectly through her narration
