First reread, June 2017. 3.5 stars. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, so I added half a star to my rating. However, I still don't like it nearly as much as I like Anna. Whereas in that book the cute excused the cringe, in this one there wasn't enough cute to make it work. I think Lola was a bit too dramatic, and that a lot of her problems could've been solved with simple communication. I liked her dads, especially Andy, but I think they were a bit too strict. In the end I thought Lola and Cricket were cute, but there was a lot of awkward moments leading up to it and I wish there was a bit more talking about their more developed relationship.

Original read, November 2015. I had issues with Lola. I didn't like this nearly as much as I liked Anna. (full review on my blog – https://heirofglitter.wordpress.com/2015/11/20/lola-the-boy-next-door-review/#more-467)
