I love this book SO HARD, just as much as I loved Anna and the French Kiss. Stephanie Perkins writes gorgeous, perfect romances. Perfect, I say! I cannot WAIT for her next book. Full, gushy, praise-fest rave review to come.

I did enjoy the book, but i didn't love it.
Reasons: I couldn't relate to Lola, Cricket's lack of appearance, and high expectations.

Short review.

Wow this was a fantastical book. I really loved the characters and also sooooo happy to see Anna and Etienne around again!!!

The romance was good, though I didn't always like the main character, she knew about the boy loving her and still she just dragged him around everywhere.

I didn't like the parents either. Overprotective much? Biased much? I know the boyfriend wasn't the best, but to have so much trouble with him, to make life so difficult for him.. NO, just NO. NO parent should do that, it will just ruin things, and make your kid not like you or unhappy.
And how they reacted to the other boy, so different. He didn't have to do anything, he was just accepted.. parents...

But it was a cute read, I can't wait for the next book to come out! Hopefully soon.

Another favorite contemporary! This was soooo cute. I hated Max from the beginning of the book, so it was very frustrating to me to watch Lola stay with him. I just wanted like 3 more chapters. It ended too abruptly for me.

These romances are more than they appear on the surface. The writing flies by, and yay for gay characters instead of caricatures!

Why did it take me so long to get started on this book? I love it. I love it with all my heart.

I love this series. I think Anna and the French Kiss was still my favorite but I really liked this one. Perkins is good at making me stay up late reading. I appreciated the realness of the characters, the genuine struggles they dealt with, imperfect decision making. Lola was sometimes a little over the top and dense but she definitely won me over in the end.
