Not that I don't adore Entienne, but Cricket holds my heart. LOL!

A...Hi--just me again, catching up on my commenting! And, as usual, your review is spot on. Not as awesome as ANNA but up near the top as the best in YA romance, LOLA was such a fun read. I loved Lola's dads and the family aspect. Plus, it was nice to see friends from ANNA in LOLA (love when authors "cross over" their characters)Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-31849042484438413722011-11-18T00:29:08.560-05:002011-11-18T00:29:08.560-05:00While I did really enjoy reading Lola and the Boy ...While I did really enjoy reading Lola and the Boy Next Door, I still loved Anna and the French Kiss more. I really liked how Lola and Cricket had fun/cool senses of style, but I was hoping they would realize how right they were for each other sooner!

And I think you expressed more or less everything I felt for this book. Though I think it was a close call for me between the two books. For me it's basically a tie. <br /><br />- Asher (from <i><a href="http://paranormalindulgence.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Paranormal Indulgence</a></i>)Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998824096375362353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-49339555090811390052011-11-16T17:41:36.111-05:002011-11-16T17:41:36.111-05:00I still need to read Anna and the French Kiss.

I'm glad to hear the parents are involved and an enjoyable part of the story. When I met Ms. Perkins, she talked about how important that was to her. She also shared that SF is where her husband courted her, and it was just too adorable!
