Excerpt from Book
The boy next door is back in Lola''s life. Cricket. His name explodes inside of me like cannon fire. I move toward our windows. His curtains are open. The bags he brought home are still on his floor, but there''s no sign of him. What am I supposed to say the next time we see each other? Why won''t he stop ruining my life? Why does he have to ask me out now ? And Max knows about him. It shouldn''t matter, but it does. Max isn''t the type to keep bringing it up, but he is the type to hold on to it. Save it for when he needs it. Did he believe me when I told him that I love him? That I don''t even like Cricket? Yes, he did. And I''m in love with Max. So why don''t I know if the other half was a lie?
