Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn't believe in fashion... she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit―the more sparkly, more fun, more wild―the better. And life is pretty close to perfect in Lola's world, especially with her non-rocker boyfriend.

Could the boy from her past be the love of her future?

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn't believe in fashion... she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit―the more sparkly, more fun, more wild―the better. And life is pretty close to perfect in Lola's world, especially with her non-rocker boyfriend. That is, until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighbourhood and unearth a past of hurt and anguish that Lola thought was long buried. When talented inventor Cricket 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.

Lola and the Boy Next Door is another unputdownable read from Stephanie, who clearly excels at imagining teens that are anything but caricatures. - MTV.com

It isn't just a love story. It is a story about friendship, growing up, and making hard decisions. - Seventeen.com
