#ReadISLA Flashback: Lola And The Boy Next Door

Hey guys, today we're going to San Fransisco to hang out with Lola and Cricket! Series: Anna and The French Kiss #2 Publication: September 29, 2011 By: Dutton  Amazon | B&N | Book Depository | Goodreads 5 Stars!  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. *Review originally posted in October 2011*   Lololololo-la! Sorry, can't help but hear the Kinks song in my head...

Author: Stephanie Perkins   Publication: December 2, 2010 By: Dutton Amazon | B&N | Book Depository | 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 Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful,...
