DNF really early on but it might have just been me - I just couldn't get into it. Literally nothing had happened within the first four chapters and I couldn't keep reading.
To coin a phrase, Josh is suffering a quarter-life crisis. He just broke up with his long-term girlfriend, lost his job, and moved back home with his parents (shudder).
What starts as a joke soon becomes serious and Josh decides to start putting his faith in the capriciousness of currency. He doesn’t have anything to lose.
But when the chance of a lifetime and the girl of his dreams are on the line.
Will the coin guide him to a rich love life or leave him flat broke?
Thank you, Goodreads and William Morrow for a chance to read The Flip Side!
“Is everyone heartbroken these days? I thought I had a patent on it.”
The Flip side was a funny romantic comedy. It was a nice refreshing read with some laughing thrown in. Do I think it was perfect no. But honestly, I think that just adds to the charm. It was a lighthearted, funny and a easy read. And the one thing that I did like was that it's told from his point of view. Sure, others give us little glimpses from the male's side of things but not like this. Josh is a likeable character. Happy reading everyone!
“What are you?”
“Bond Street, James Bond Street.”
“Of course, looking very suave. Especially compared to everyone else.”
“Yes, that’s not too hard when that guy’s carrying a can of beer and has got a dildo on his head, dressed as a Cock-fosters.”
“So you have had a good year?”

Just because you acknowledge within the plot that your story is about a man obsessively stalking a manic pixie dream girl doesn’t stop your story being about a man obsessively stalking a manic pixie dream girl.

I felt like this book was just a few pages too many - it felt like he should have already met his love interest by the time he arrived in Paris - and that some moments were so foreshadowed that they were almost too predictable for my liking (like the death) but overall it was a cute easy read with some fun moments, quirky characters and lots of random facts. What's not to like.

This was a cute book. I loved that it was told from the male point of view.
I especially enjoyed the narrator of the audiobook.
Perfect if you are looking for something light that is just a little different.

First chapters I laughed so much, but then is starting to become very surreal and can’t follow or connect with Josh and the rest of the characters. Unfortunately (for me) the story was very promising but ended up been very flat and I’m just wanted to finish so I can move on to my next read.
