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.
I can not wait to get my hands on Lola and the Boy Next Door. I'm a huge fan of Stephanie's writing and I LOVED Anna and the French Kiss. While I know this book is different than her debut, I can't wait to meet and fall in love with Lola and Cricket. Seriously, I already love the fact she named her leading guy Cricket.
If you're in the Austin area in October, make sure you join us for the Austin Book Festival as Stephanie will be there!! Believe me, she's an author you want to meet.
I pre-ordered this on a recommendation from The Story Siren and can't wait to get it! Glad to know others are looking forward to it too! And this was the second time I have heard about Anna and the French Kiss - need to get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteWe are waiting -- on pins and needles! -- for this one too. Anna was just so fantastic!
