Lola and the Boy Next Door

This book comes after Anna and the French Kiss... Anna and St. Clair actually show up frequently in the book. If you loved Anna and the French kiss, read this book. If you haven't read it, GO READ IT NOW(:

Goodreads: "Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit -- more sparkly, more fun, more wild -- the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

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."

Lola is this really unique teenage girl who basically ALWAYS wears Halloween costumes. At first I hated that about her and though it was weird, but then near the middle I started to love her and all her many costumes. She has a boyfriend named Max... I thought was was pretty cool at the beginning of the book (besides some stuff he did) but then at the end I wanted to tear his face off. Sorry if I just ruined for you that they wouldn't work out but c'mon... the ending is, of course, predictable... but when is it not in this genre? Besides that, it's a fantastic adorable book. Definitely worth reading!

I'll rate this an 8/10 to 8.5/10
It was soo cute but after Anna it had high expectations to live up to.

Anna and the French Kiss

Loooveee this book so much. Hurry, go read it.

This is one of those books where you buy it thinking that it will be an okay, typical, predictable, chick-flick like book . . . one of those you read for fun but quickly forget about as you move on to other novels. Actually this book is seriously amazing. Yes, it is a (sort of) typical, (somewhat) predictable, chick-flick book, but it is so funny and beautiful and completely unique.

(Goodreads:) "Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near - misses end with the French kiss Anna - and readers - have long awaited?
"
I read this book because I saw how well it was rated on Goodreads. I love that website sooooo much <3

My favorite genre is scifi fantasy but every now and then I like to read books like this. Let me just say, no book from this genre has come this close to the top of my favorites list as this book has.

Etienne is a hotty. Super, super, super hot and funny and nice and cute <3 It was soo easy to love him and all the other characters in this book. At some points I was really hoping that I could fall asleep and wake up in Paris with Anna and everyone... *sigh*

I'm going to rate this book .... 10/10... okay well maybe 9.9/10 but still, it was THAT GOOD.

As I was reading this book I had a fever so that may have influence my opinion of the book. I was all stressed out because I had a ton of homework and I felt like CRAP, but then when I finished everything and was able to read the book I was just SO HAPPY. and the book was just SO HAPPY and pretty. I'm pretty sure at some points I was crying, but that was most likely me being an overemotional sick person.

Whether sick, healthy, or completely insane; if you have any taste what so ever, you love this book(:
