I had mixed feelings about ANNA too, but overall really liked it. Love how well you connected with LOLA's story. That girl is pretty lively! I did NOT care for Max ever and just wanted him gone, but I fell hard for Cricket. He's one of my top YA guys. I love that he's not at all a 'bad boy.' He makes me swoon just thinking about him. And Lola's dads were awesome! I really like the family issues in this story too.

I wasn't such a fan of Anna, but that was more because I didn't like the characters. The writing-style was easy going, so I'm definitely looking forward to this book. Cricket & Lola sound more like my thing - and great that there are gay dads! I haven't read a book with that before and it's great to explore that :DMel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-76611613922641645662013-11-20T09:55:35.120+02:002013-11-20T09:55:35.120+02:00Me too!

I always dread picking up books when they're so talked about, because they oomph either positive and high expectations or this.. negative vibe where everyone points out negative aspects that I sometimes wouldn't have noticed otherwise so I'm glad that we both read this when the hype had somewhat died down :) Cricked -- le sigh :) Ha!

Maybe 1.5 years. I haven't read this one yet though but I do have it collecting dust on my shelves somewhere lol.

I'm actually quite glad that I did this, as I remember when this book was released, there weren't that many praising reviews for this book from my blogging friends, so I liked that I could start this book with a clean slate and not having those reviews printed on my mind. Also I am totally with you on bad boys, I love my hot tattooed bad boys, but also love my sweet adorable guys! Cricket is definitely one of the best. I'm so glad that you loved this story Siiri and I definitely approve of you re-reading this straight away! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-13809372476291775772013-11-19T14:07:11.428+02:002013-11-19T14:07:11.428+02:00I do.
