Lila is still Lila – she still retains her humor and her die-hard lusting after Alex, but she is also incredibly mature this time. While I didn’t like Lila at all in the previous novel and felt as if she was silly and completely obsessed with Alex, she really surprised me in this story. Even from the first page of the novel, I felt like smacking her. I had written this in my review of Hunting Lila and after some thinking, I think the best way to write this review is to compare it to its predecessor and prove just how much better it is. I’ll cut straight to the chase – I couldn’t stand Lila. I liked this story much better than Hunting Lila and fans of the previous novel – and even non-fans – will really enjoy this sequel. I wasn’t exactly a fan of Lila, or her whirlwind romance with Alex, in the previous novel and I was dreading another bout of this underdeveloped love story, but I needn’t have worried. I think this is going to come off as really strange, but I was so skeptical about reading Losing Lila. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to – because I did – it was simply that I was wary of what I would find within its pages.
