Lovebug by Erin Mallon is a fun, heart growing adventure. That being said I had to get past the first couple chapters before really starting to enjoy the story. I enjoyed Mabel's intelligence and sass. I felt the way Wallace was portrayed from other characters in the beginning didn't quite mesh with how he acted. That didn't really matter when he grew as a characters as he hung-out with Mabel though. I appreciated how Wally understood Mabel, encouraged her interests, and was such a handyman! I was a bit surprised as to the reason Mabel's parents had severed ties with her Aunt Tina. I enjoyed getting to see more of Calliope and their other friends. Overall, I had fun time reading Lovebug and thought it was a good sequel to Flirtasuarus.
