Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen
5.0

Quite literally finished this book in a day, this book had be FLIPPED out >:’)

I have to say this is one of my favorite romances that has happened in a while in a completely unexpected way. Where to begin.. I love the characters themselves. There are EXTREMELY likable ones and EXTREMELY dislikable ones. Props to the author on that one, the connection I had with each character, good or bad, was very extreme! I love the contrasting POV’s and they are beautifully written! I really like how this also has a coming of age theme within the book, and truly see the characters grow as the book progresses. I have so many favorites about this book, BUT one of my favorite were about Uncle David. I connected on a personal level to this because my sister is challenged in a similar way. The way it is described is very accurate and real, and throughout the story I remember I had the same instances as Juli. One MAJOR thing in this book that I love is assuming and comparing. I am a person who very rarely judges anyone else. I grew up in a household that is extremely judgmental and the way Bryce had picked that up from his dad and had a realization later reminded me of my experience with that. There are so many lessons taught throughout this book, but that is one of my favorite.
