Lola lives in San Francisco with her two dads, her dog, her wonderful boyfriend, an awesome job at a movie theater, and the memory of something horrible that happened with the next-door neighbors. All in all life is pretty perfect - until the neighbors come back. Lola's world (and heart) start to rocket around like a roller coaster as she figures out who she is and who she wants to be with.
So this is the companion novel to "Anna and the French Kiss" (which I ABSOLUTELY ADORED!). I don't understand why it can be so hard to find a really good readin' book sometimes, but if Stephanie Perkins wrote more, I wouldn't have a problem. Lola is fleshed-out, her problems are relatable, and San Francisco sounds beautiful. After tearing through "Anna," I was a little bummed that I would be leaving this awesome world. But thank goodness Anna went to school in San Fran so we could meet the lovely Lola and the even lovelier Cricket (if only I could have a nattily-dressed gentleman caller in real life...).
soooo jealous you got to read. :(
