Waiting on Wednesday: Lola and the Boy Next Door

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.  "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Pub. Date: September 29, 2011


Goodreads says, "For budding costume designer Lola Nolan, the more outrageous, the outfit—more sparkly, more fun, more wild—the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins move back into the house next door.  When the family returns and Cricket—a gifted inventor and engineer—steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door."


*I loved Anna and the French Kiss, so I am definitely going to be reading this one. In fact, Perkins is one of my new favorite authors; I love her writing style!
