The Book Flipped, is about Juliana Baker (Juli) and Bryce Loski. The Loskis move into a new house and across the street, the Bakers house. At first sight Juli adores Bryce and knows he has her first kiss. But Bryce, hates her. The book is really cool because each chapter we see each one's perspective on the issue. Through out the book they two face challenges, and flip. Yes they flip. Bryce sees Juli in a new way and Juli is completely over him.
I really enjoyed this book! It was really inspiring! I loved the different chapters being different perspectives, it just pulled the book all together! I gave it a rating of 4 because of the ending. Good endings of books are really hard to find. At the end of the book there was an authors note explaining why the author had done this ending. The end of the book they didn't have "Juli's kiss." Which would have been the book finished leaving the reader happy. The author explaines that they left the ending open so the reader could fully make up what they would want to happen. Which I totally understand. So there will not be a sequel.
However in the authors note, they too talked about a movie! I love seeing charaters of books come alive on screen. I'm coming to the movie next!
