Overall, I really enjoyed Lola and the Boy Next Door and can't wait for the last book in the series. Given that she is 16 this made me really uncomfortable when reading for all sorts of reasons and while in some ways the relationship can be justified for the purposes of the story, I still didn't feel totally comfortable with Max and Lola's relationship.Īside from the romance, Lola and the Boy Next Door addresses issues surrounding families and friendship and handles it in such a way that makes the story incredibly human and relatable. A one-of-a-kind edition of the beloved romance classic, featuring a custom patterned edge and new extra content. At the start of the book, Lola is dating Max, a twenty two year old musician. One by one, the students of Osborne High are dying in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasing and grotesque flair. However, in that department I did have a criticism. The romance aspect of the story was wonderful as always and, like with Anna and the French Kiss, managed to capture the feeling of being in love for the first time accurately. Reappearances from Anna and Etienne from the first book also give the book a good base, reminding the reader that the books are linked while the ending of the book sets up a possible link between this book and the last book in the series Isla and the Happily Ever After with an opportunity to see characters old and new interact once more. Her passion for dressmaking and costumes make for a refreshing heroine while Cricket Bell and his inventing again make for another unique and interesting character. Stephanie Perkins success once again in creating vibrant characters with Lola being perhaps one of the most vibrant characters ever written.
