Title: Flipped
Author: Wendelin Van Draanen
Genre: Young Adult
Context: This book has been sitting on my shelf for over two years. I picked it up at a bargain book store when I first got out to Indiana. It sat. I read the first two chapters. It sat again. Then it sat some more. It made it through approximately five apartment moves without getting tossed, simply because it had a cute cover. And then I finally read it. I swear! I really did! Hence the review! No lies!
Summary/Review: The book's a young adult he said/she said involving two fifteen-year-old neighbors. Overall, the whole thing was pretty "meh." I just didn't care for it. The gimmick got old, there was lots of cliche, and I really didn't get drawn in to either of the characters. An actual young adult would probably enjoy it. It's not a bad book. It just didn't hook me in any way.
Best Part? The Cover. That cover is adorable. I love that cover. I am going to keep this book forever, because it has a cute cover. Because I am that shallow. Oh yes.
