Such a fun read! The characters were wonderful, endearing and larger than life. Lola is striving to be unique but still values the traditional parts of life, like family, friends and love. The relationships were dynamic and as much fun as they were heartbreaking. The storyline with its sweet romance had me smiling like a fool. Although I still feel like Anna and Etienne's story is closer to my heart (and I was happy to see them play a part in this book), I fell in love with Lola and Cricket as well. By the way, it's you know it's a good book when the fact that the romantic lead is named after an insect doesn't seem to be a problem only a few short pages in! I look forward to the next book!!
