How do I even begin to express my love for this book? 
 Stephanie Perkins made me love cutesy contemporary novels. She seriously knows how to write them so that people who don't usually read that genre will crave more. 
 Nothing will ever be able to top Anna and the French Kiss for me, but this was definitely a close second. 
 Let's start off with the fact that her dads are gay! Representation is so freaking important, and unfortunately rarely seen in books these days, so reading about them brought joy to my heart. 
 Now, Lola. Lola was so, so fantastic. A few times frustrating, but so so REAL. She felt so incredibly real to me, like the kind of person I'd be great friends with, but also sometimes be annoyed at for being so oblivious. 
 I absolutely hated her boyfriend (what even was his name? I think it was Max. I'm gonna call him Max). He was a dick right from the beggining and seemed like a creep. 
 Cricket on the other hand was a dream come true. I mean, come on, who HASN'T dreamt of having a cute guy next door?! He was the true definition of a nice guy. Someone who doesn't call themselves nice. 
 Seriously, if you loved Anna and the French Kiss, pick this up. 
 Hell, pick it up even if you didn't. 
 Just pick it up, and read the crap out of it.
