The Flip Side by James Bailey
2.0
The Flip Side follows Josh, a recent dumpee, who feels like he is stagnating having made all the wrong choices. From now on, he’s going to make all of his choices by flipping a coin. What could go wrong, right?
This book sounded super fun and I was in need of a light-hearted read, and sure enough I finished it very quickly! However, it didn’t really deviate from the standard romcom book pattern that I’ve read so much of before - the most annoying thing about these kind of books is that the side characters are often there just for the lead character to have someone to talk to, and have no storyline of their own. I mean, he has a best friend called Jake who attends Beyonce dance classes - I wanna know about him! I also didn’t really get the chemistry between the two lead characters - it wasn’t fiery chemistry in any sense, but having said that it was super cute, and will make you smile.
So overall, I did enjoy reading it, but it was your predictable romance read so I struggled to rate it any higher - however if you like a fluffy romcom, this one is right up your alley!
