This book was just so.... 
description
It was so... Sweet. That's the best possible way to describe this book, especially the ending. It was Adorable.



Cricket is probably the most adorable character I have ver come across.


“It’s a rare occurrence to see Lola in the wild,” Andy says. 
“I know,” Cricket says. “I haven’t seen the real Lola since my first night back.”
“I like being different.” 
“And I like that about you,” Cricket says. “But I like the real you best.”



“Lola?” Cricket is on his knees at the side of my bed. I feel it. “I’m here,” he whispers. “You can talk to me or not talk to me, but I’m here.”

“So you believe in second chances?” I bite my lip. 
“Second, third, fourth. Whatever it takes. However long it takes. If the person is right,” he adds. 
“If the person is . . . Lola?” 
This time, he holds my gaze. “Only if the other person is Cricket.”



He was so effing sweet, Cricket was the kind of boy that made me sad because I knew when reading all these adorable moments that a boy like Cricket does not and will never exist in real life. He was in so many ways too good to be true. 


I can’t meet his eyes. “I look stupid.” 
“Hey. No,” he says softly. “You look beautiful.”

The ending of this book turned me into a pile of goo, I mean really? it was too sweet, too adorable, I couldn't even handle it. It was such an amazing ending to such an amazing book. 


He takes my hand and squeezes it. With my other, I hitch up the bottom of my dress. My platform combat boots lead the way. And I hold my head high toward my big entrance, hand in hand with the boy who gave me the moon and the stars.


Lola has got to be one of, if not my favorite, characters ever. I loved how different she was. Her character was so detailed I felt as if I knew her. Every character in Stephanie Perkins books feels so unique and so real, her writing is amazing, it literally brings the characters to life in so many different ways. 


I absolutely loved this book!
