I adore Stephanie Perkins' writing. She made a stellar debut with Anna and the French Kiss and she didn't disappoint with this one. 
 Lola is definitely a quirky character. Not only does she love wearing the craziest costumes everyday, but she's also snarky and innocent. Set in San Francisco and living with two fathers, her background is very unique and interesting and you'll see all of that unfold throughout the book. The romance and love story is subtle and cute, again, a book that would appeal to teens. 
 One of my favorite aspects was that Anna and St. Clair make appearances all throughout the book. Now, you should know that you didn't have to read the Anna and the French Kiss before reading this book, there is nothing that relates to them significantly here to make you feel like you're missing anything. It's just fun for those who have read that book to see these characters again and catch up with their lives a bit. And if you haven't read that book, it might even get you interested in checking it out. 
 One thing I couldn't stand, was the name Cricket. Don't get me wrong, I really liked Cricket, sweet and funny guy, clear spark between him and Lola, but I hate his name. It's mentioned so many times throughout the book, obviously, it kind of annoyed me and I was like "Why, Stephanie, why?!". Yes, it's different and memorable, but I'm not a fan. 
 Anyways, as far as the story goes, I really enjoyed it. Stephanie's writing is fun, cute, and appealing. I liked this a bit more than Anna and the French Kiss though, simply because Lola and Cricket's love seemed to flow better and Lola's struggles to discover and be proud of herself and realizing her feelings for Cricket was entertaining and genuine. 
 Honestly, if you love a cute love story and don't mind his name so much, then you'll definitely want to check this one out.
