Personally, this is one of the most amazing books I've read so far. I really enjoyed reading this book because I can imagine relating to the book. This books talks about how a boy and a girl who switch off feelings. Seems simple right ? But, it's not that predictable.(50) It's cool how this story lets you know the points of view of both characters. Once you read Bryce's story, it'll make you want to continue and read Julianna's point of view.Anybody who loves reading about cute romance books would enjoy reading Flipped. This book is especially great for kids of all age. At one point in your life, you will have a crush. Most of us have already had that expierience when we were young.I remember a time where I had a huge crush on a boy. He didn't know I existed until finally I tried everything.Reading Flipped made me look back a year and reminisce on those days. I bet even various adults can relate this story also. Another great part I liked, was the fact that this book will leave you wanting more. Unlike other romance novels, this novel will addict you. Each chapter ends with a conflict and its very funny. So I won't be surprised if you pee in your pants. Julianna and Bryce had minds like adults. Neither person knows exactly what they're feeling. They can't explain it. That's what I love most about Flipped. It's real, and they make it easy to understand how they feel. I recommend it to the people who truly don't like to read. I personally, dont like to read books of anykind. But once I began to read this, I flipped. Nobody should just a book by it's cover.At first, the minute I saw this book, I had second thoughts.Flipped turned out to be flippin' amazing.
