Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins - Book Review

The title of the book basically sums of the plot. Yes, there's Lola and then there's that boy next door. The cover says it all: romance! I adored this book. Young adult romance can't get better than this. The characters are my favorite, of course. Lola and Cricket are the main characters. Cricket is the boy next door that Lola has always crushed on. Cricket is a genius stuffed into a tall box. He's handsome and he dresses well, which means a lot to Lola. They go through a lot together. Being friends first and finally coming to terms that they like each other.

The one thing I liked best about this book is that young girls (and boys) can really relate to it. I remember falling for certain boys and already having a boy. Young love is complicated and Stephanie Perkins clearly showed that in her latest novel. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves reading about young people finding themselves and finding love.
