I don't think I can do this book ANY justice by reviewing it, but let me just say, if you have not read it yet, do it.
I liked it better than Anna and the French Kiss because of how real and relatable the characters felt to me. It is definitely in my top 14 of 2014 :D

Here's my attempt at a review:

“I know you aren't perfect. But it's a person's imperfections that make them perfect for someone else.”

I just could not finish this book for some reason. Anna and the French Kiss was amazing. I have no clue why i didnt like the second one. Yes, Lola is annoying and the names are just so weird.

I absolutely adore this book!! I love how Lola is really different from any other characters I've read, she's really creative in her dressing style and she's not afraid of how others see the way she dresses.
Lastly, the chemistry between Cricket and Lola is just so adorable :)
Can't wait to read the other books in the series!
