Flipped

Flipped ****
by Wendelin Van Draanen
Book Type: YA, Realistic Fiction, Romance

Summary: Flipped is a romance told in two voices. The first time Juli Baker saw Bryce Loski, she flipped. The first time Bryce saw Juli, he ran. That’s pretty much the pattern for these two neighbors until the eighth grade, when, just as Juli is realizing Bryce isn’t as wonderful as she thought, Bryce is starting to see that Juli is pretty amazing. How these two teens manage to see beyond the surface of things and come together makes for a comic and poignant romance.

My Review: Have you seen the movie yet? Remember I put a review of it on here? And I pretty much loved it? Yes. That movie is great. We now own it. So after seeing the movie I decided that I wanted to read the book and see what it was like. I've read a lot of books that were made into movies and generally the book is better, but occasionally it's other way around, and even more rarely, they are perfectly comparable. I would say that this book is so much like the movie that they are perfectly comparable! There were a few things in the book that weren't in the movie, but mostly they were funny lines or little details that didn't affect the story. Both the movie and the book are great! So really, you could watch the movie and not read the book to get a dose of this wonderfully fun story. BUT I would suggest doing both - reading the story and watching the movie. They are both famously entertaining.
