I liked all these books but this was my favorite-- Lola and Oliver are great characters and their common ground in graphic novels makes for a more interesting context. They had a lot to talk about (unlike a lot of romance couples) and their connection was built up with lots of details over a long time. Lola's issues make it kind of uncomfortable to be in her head sometimes -- but I still rooted for her, which is a tribute to the writing. Great sequel and I'm looking forward to London and Luke now (I *wondered* what that scene with Luke was doing in this book! Now I know--)
