First of all, my ironic thanks go to this book for making me totally and utterly misjudge the time and not leave for my Spanish final this morning till a half hour before -- for a 45min drive. :) It took a couple days for me to start reading, but once I started, well -- I was almost late for my final :) 
 This book is.... Incredible. Awe-inspiring. I feel like building a shrine and bowing down to it. So real and true and heart-wrenching and soul-stirring. It almost makes me want to say, "Forget Mr. Darcy, I want my Cricket Bell!" Almost, but I already happen to have my Mr. Darcy and he's already given me the moon and the stars <3 But trust me, all the rest of you will be clamoring for your very own personal Cricket Bell after you read Lola and the Boy Next Door 
 Ohh, and Lola's coworkers at the theater? Well, two of the three, at least? Icing on the cake :D
