Rating: 3/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 After Lola had her heart broken by Cricket Bell two years ago, she's tried not to think about him. Cricket, his twin sister Calliope, and their older brother Alexander used to be Lola's neighbours until they moved away for Calliope's figure skating career. Lola now has an older boyfriend, Max, who is 22 years old and part of a band. She's quite happy with him (to the dismay of her parents) but that may change when she discovers that the Bells have moved back in next door. It doesn't help that Cricket and Lola's windows point to each other. As Cricket tries to repair whatever happened two years ago, Lola is torn between her first love and current boyfriend, while also dealing with Cricket's overprotective sister. 
 While I didn't think this book was amazing, it did make for a good summer cottage read. It wasn't too heavy on the drama and nothing gruesome happened, so it was a nice cheerful book to read to relax. Lola was definitely quite different - she sewed a lot of her own outfits and would never wear the same thing twice. That said, I liked her despite some of her strange-sounding outfits. I also liked Cricket a lot as a character. He was sweet and charming, and he had his faults so he wasn't the perfect and flawless love interest that you see a lot in YA contemporary. Despite what happened two years ago he was extremely likeable and definitely good for Lola. 
 My least favourite part of the book would have to be Max. He was such an asshole. I get that we probably weren't supposed to like him, but I think the book would be more enjoyable if he didn't piss me off so much. I also found the whole 17 year old dating a 22 year old quite cringy. I know some people have views about the whole age difference doesn't matter when it's love but it's just weird to date someone so much older when you're in high school. Although they were strict, I take Lola's parents' side when it comes to her dating Max. 
 Overall, this was a relaxing and fun summer read, despite Max making me so mad whenever he showed up in a scene. Lola was certainly different but likeable, and Cricket was so sweet. It also had a great cast of supporting characters (Lola's best friend Lindsey, Lola's parents, Calliope) especially Anna and Etienne's appearance. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who read Anna and the French Kiss and is looking for more. This novel can be read as a standalone so if you're interested and haven't read the first book you can go for it anyway. However, Anna and Etienne (couple from the first book) do show up so you may want to read the first book so the cameo means something to you.
