This was A-DOR-ABLLLLLLLLE!
It was back and forth with HIS side of the story and then HER view of things and I loved how it was done. Super cute. Classic: girl likes boy, girl annoys boy, girl gets over boy, girl starts ignoring boy, boy decides he likes girl. Definitely worth checking out for a light read. Lots of good family values type stuff. đź’ś

"Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss... but every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare"
Now this is how you write a young adult novel!
I first watched the film adaptation and fell so deeply in love with it, so I have high expectations on the novel—manifesting that it is as good, turns out it was even greater. Having already seen the movie, I have already a good visualization or imagery of the events happening in the book, though I must say that even if you haven't seen yet the film adaptation, you will still able to follow the story easily.
This is more than just a story about silly childhood crushes; it talks about friendships, family ties and bonds, outgrowing prejudices and stereotypes.
Light-hearted, swooning, and radiant. Flipped effortlessly made its way to my favorites. I will surely read this one again and again and again, similar to how many times I've watched the movie.
Such a GOOD BOOK! Its so uplifting, its really funny and just sweet! I laughed, I cried. I HIGHLY recommend it!

This was one of my very favorite books in elementary school, one I returned to over and over again. It felt even more poignant as an adult, to be able to clock a lot more of the mature themes.
I love the depiction of youth and adolescence and the way romantic feelings evolve at that age. I also love the complexity of the characters and how subtle she is in her characterizations of Juli and Bryce. It’s a lot of really well done showing and not telling.
The format is what always sticks with me, just so brilliant. Even though we experience the same scenes twice, it always feels fresh since you’ll uncover something new.
I think overall this has a really good message to young people about being able to see who someone is inside, not just on the outside. It also shows that, as simple as it is, how someone treats you matters.
This may be controversial (and I felt this way as a kid too) but I see a world in which Bryce and Juli could be good for one another. This book to me was the beginning, and it left us on the start of something.
