I'm disappointed with Lola and the Boy Next Door... 
 I felt the story was full of cliches, there was no mystery (mystery isn't the right word but close enough) or nothing exciting for me. They is the kind of love stories you know how they'll end, but the journey is what make it worth it. Lola was not one of those stories for me. 
 I mean, you read a romance and you can pretty much point out who's going to end up with who but it doesn't matter: swooning about every little details, seeing how they'll find their way to each other, it's all worth it. But with Lola, I did not feel any of this... and I felt bored and annoyed more than once. 
 We didn't see much of the supporting characters and I think it would have been better to develop them more because they felt too caricatural and I couldn't understand some of their reactions. 
 The whole business with Max felt way out of proportion because at first and for a good part of the story, there isn't much against him except his age and Lola's parents are way too rude to him. And then, he's conveniently turned to an asshole toward the end so Lola doesn't have to make a choice and that's pretty stupid to me. 
 I'm not saying their relationship was perfect, especially because as a reader, we have not seen much of their relationship prior to the "boy next door arrival" so I'm not even saying it as a Max lover but the way it turned out felt way to easy and cheap. 
 It's like everyone was jalous of someone at some point in this book, but making Max acting out on it (a little) as the evil-douchebag and to make every character on the book dislike him just because well...he's not Cricket is pretty stupid. 
 Ok I'm not feeling like I'm expressing myself well on the subject so I'll stop here. 
 I really thought I'd be enjoying Lola more ( I gave Anna 4 stars!) and for once I don't think I even over hyped it in my head. Me sad. 
 PS: The +20 of my friends on Goodreads that have read the book all but 4 and 5 stars (one put 3) oops I feel alone on that one...
