Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit -- more sparkly, more fun, more wild -- the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.
When Cricket -- a gifted inventor -- 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.

I absolutely loved Anna and the French Kiss and Stephanie Perkins' writing. I've already heard fantastic things about Lola, but with how amazing Anna was I would read it anyway. Perkins has managed to get me more interested in contemporary than I ever was before. This should definitely be on your TBR list if it isn't already.
Sounds good! Love the funky, purple hair!
