I actually picked this book up because I'd read the second book in the series - the one about her sister, Lola - first (I hadn't realized that it was book 2 when I read it), so I wanted to see if this one was good too.
It was a nice, cute story, and a really enjoyable read. Some of it came off as a tad unrealistic, but in this type of story, you almost expect that, so it didn't bug me. The only two things I have to say are that the main character (I can't for the life of me remember her name. It was Maisie? Maybe? Or Marnie? I don't know) was kind of rude in my opinion (which might have been the point), which could be a little annoying; and that the guy that she'd been in love with since she was 13 (Hayes might have been his name? I can't remember that either) was a major creep and jerk (also probably the point, but still)
I definitely recommend, although I think I liked the second book a bit more than this one. Very nice read
