Can't do words *___*

Trees, eggs and kisses :3 What else do you need in life?



Love was the first thing July felt when she met Bryce, her new neighbor. Panic was the first thing Bryce felt. Oblivious to this fact, July intimidated Bryce with her forthrightness and curiosity while Bryce tried to hide from her as much as possible.

The first thing I loved about Flipped was the warm feeling of simpler times and their innocence and ingenuity. It reminded me of my first crush and how honest it was. If you need to know, no, I didn't get the boy in the end. (Your lost, Marcos!)

Also, the characters are perfect. Both July and Bryce have perfect voices, each POV is genuine and they're brilliantly portrayed. I loved how clueless she is about how he feels about her but at the same time how the little things eventually win him over. The tree scene is so sad, I can't believe I was almost crying over a fictional tree!

Shout out to the twins that made my day ^_^ (Fred and George, anybody?).

Now, don't let the cuteness fool you. Yes, they're kids and yes, this is sweet and fun but the core of the story is the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Both families, as different as they seemed, had many things in common. And I think one of the hardest lessons Bryce learnt was how being better, even better than your parents, is a painful choice but possibly the best one.



In a simple and wonderful way, Flipped is a story that will warm your heart and draw a smile upon your face.
