When Cricket, a gifted inventor, steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.
Review:
This book is now one of my favorites!
God, it’s amazing!! So sad that it’s over *cries*
This story follows a girl, Lola, who has two dads.
She loves to dress up and wear different wigs every day, which sounds incredibly fun!
What I liked:
- I loved Lola, although she was a bit stubborn when it came to Max (probably because she wanted something safe, but still)
- Cricket. He is such a sweetheart, one of my favorite characters of all time, just so adorable
- Lola and Cricket's relationship. Took you long enough though!!!
- Calliope, even though she was very bitchy, she turned out to be kinda cool
- Lola's parents, because gay parents are incredibly awesome
- Lindsey. Such a great friend to Lola, and always there for her.
What I didn't like:
- Max, who else? He's very cute, but still an ass. I was so offended when he shut the door in Lola's face like ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Ugh I hate the guy
Overall, like all Stephanie's books, this is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G book.
Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Definitely recommend!!!
