"  The stats: Lola and the Boy Next Door is the second novel from the Stephanie Perkins, author of Anna and the French Kiss. It will be available in stores September 29. The gist: Lola&amp;#039;s no girl next door \u2014 she&amp;#039;s the complete opposite, actually. At only seventeen years old, she&amp;#039;s established herself as a true fashionista, with a totally fearless and unique style. She doesn&amp;#039;t wear outfits \u2014 she wears costumes, rocking wigs and DIY clothing, inspired by everyone from Barbie to Cleopatra. She has big plans for her future, and everything&amp;#039;s been going pretty well lately: She&amp;#039;s been having a great time with her best friend, she&amp;#039;s been getting along with her super strict parents, and she even managed to snag herself a super hot rock star boyfriend. But then Cricket and Calliope Bell move back into the neighborhood, interrupting Lola&amp;#039;s routine life with old memories and feelings. Lola was perfectly happy before, but now she a choice to make \u2014 does she ignore Cricket and their history for her new life, or does she give it all up for the boy next door? Our favorite part: We loved all of Lola&amp;#039;s relationships, especially her friendship with Calliope, Cricket&amp;#039;s twin sister. It felt so real \u2014 we&amp;#039;ve probably all had friends who we fall in and out with. Lola&amp;#039;s character and her situation were so relatable that we couldn&amp;#039;t put the book down! We also loved reading about Lola&amp;#039;s outfits \u2014 completely outrageous! You&amp;#039;ll love it if... you&amp;#039;re a big fan of classic stories with a twist. It wasn&amp;#039;t just a love story. It was a story about friendship, growing up, and making hard decisions, which are topics we can all relate to. It&amp;#039;s also a great read for those of you who are future designers \u2014 Lola herself is an inspiration! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
