Description The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. She says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down. And just as he’s thinking there’s more to her than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny new voices. Wendelin Van Draanen is at her best here with a knockout cast of quirky characters and a hilarious series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities. But underlying the humor are two teens in transition. They are each learning to look beyond the surface of people, both figuring out who they are, who they want to be, and who they want to be with.

Insightful reviews Martin C.: I must say, Flipped is a great book and also has a great teaching, as well as being huge amount of fun to read because of the author's fabulous techniques. One of the techniques the author uses in the book is showing different perspectives throughout the book, to be speciefic: the way he describes the point of view from Juli's and Bryce's perspective, also a very fun technique since you're always wondering what the other character in the story thinks too. Another entertaining technique is the quite fancy way the author makes suspense in the story, like slowing down time, he shows the characters feelings and exposes his or her thoughts toward the event. One last thing that makes this book a must is that the author creates a tremendous amount of conflict building up all the time that makes a intense background for what's happening right then. The teaching of this book is a very good one, that "A painting is more than the sum of it's parts" which means that all the pieces that make up something are not what make something special, but what they make up is what's special. Beatrice: June 2, 2011 When I first watched it online, it reminds me of my elementary days of having a crush just like Julianna Baker. I flipped when I saw that guy whom I really liked when I was in 6th grade.(But I didn't stalked him) :) ahahaha! At first, Bryce Loski hated Juli ( in a way he was really annoyed at her), But Juli likes Bryce so much, then.. it flipped! :D Bryce then likes Juli, and Juli ignores Bryce. I just love it! It's cute and it's really an essence of a true teenage love story. It's so beautiful. It may happen in real life, you'll never know. Totally recommended for everyone. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited: May 5, 2015 I'm proudly obsessed with this book and this has a special place in my heart. I don't know how many times I've read or watched the movie (nth time), I can't remember but it's absolutely good and I still flipped all over it. Definitely one of the Best Book to Movie Adaptation of All Time and I'm dead serious. I highly recommend this book to everyone. If you haven't read this, you better read it because you're missing a good contemporary romance. It's so damn adorable.
Jessica ? Elsecaller ? at Rabid Reads: I LOVE THIS BOOK. I seriously looooooovvvvvvveeeee this book. I laughed. I cried. I laughed and cried some more. I'm going to buy a bunch of copies of this book and give them to all of my friends. Liz* Fashionably Late: cannot do phrases *___* Trees, eggs and kisses :3 What else do you want in life?Love used to be first thing July felt while she met Bryce, her new neighbor. Panic used to be first thing Bryce felt. Oblivious to this fact, July intimidated Bryce together with her forthrightness and interest whereas Bryce attempted to conceal from her up to possible.The very first thing I enjoyed approximately Flipped was once the nice and cozy feeling of less complicated instances and their innocence and ingenuity. It jogged my memory of my first overwhelm and the way sincere it was. if you would like to know, no, i did not get the boy within the end. (Your lost, Marcos!)Also, the characters are perfect. either July and Bryce have ideal voices, each one POV is real and they are brilliantly portrayed. I enjoyed how clueless she is ready how he feels approximately her yet even as how the little issues finally win him over. The tree scene is so sad, i cannot think i used to be virtually crying over a fictional tree! Shout out to the twins that made my day ^_^ (Fred and George, anybody?).Now, do not enable the cuteness idiot you. Yes, they're youngsters and yes, this can be candy and enjoyable however the center of the tale is the entire being more than the sum of its parts. either families, as assorted as they seemed, had many stuff in common. and that i imagine one of many toughest classes Bryce learnt used to be how being better, even larger than your parents, is a painful selection yet potentially the easiest one.In an easy and lovely way, Flipped is a narrative that may hot your middle and draw a grin upon your face. Lady Gabriella of Awesomeness : P.s: i've got Both,Read and watched flipped...But in my view the motion picture was once totally fascinating ! i am happy I watched it first so it used to be a lot more straightforward to imagine the sences from the booklet :) THIS motion picture used to be AHMAZING !!!!.......I laughed...I cried... and that i fell in love with the assumption of ? everywhere again....:) (This motion picture is a definte needs to see for everybody ! belief me ! its simply WOW ?Even the soundtracks ahmazing ! ) Mery: Aku dapat buku ini dari giveaway di Goodreads.Awalnya cuma karena ngelihat Teh Rini nulis review, aku jadi ingat belum ganti edisinya ke bahasa Indonesia. Eh ternyata ada giveawaynya. Iseng-iseng ikutan deh. Besoknya dikasih tahu Kak Muthe, aku menang giveaway buku ini.Girang banget pastinya!Baca buku ini cuma three jam. Beneran three jam.
;DAku punya kebiasaan baca buku sebelum tidur. Jadi pas baca buku ini, bukannya kebawa kantuk, malah ga bisa tidur. Kayaknya ga rela aja naruh bukunya gitu. Ceritanya bagus banget. Bikin aku terhanyut dari awal sampai akhir cerita.Sebenarnya kisah yang disuguhkan cuma berkisar cinta monyet. Julliana Baker punya tetangga baru yang seumuran dia. Dari bermingguminggu sebelum tetangganya pindah, dia sudah menunggu kedatangan mereka. Dan ketika Bryce Loski, sang tetangga datang, dia langsung kesengsem. Karena Bryce begitu tampan dan mempunyai mata biru yang sangat indah.Tapi sayang Bryce tidak punya perasaan yang sama dengan Juli. Dia justru menganggap Juli itu berbahaya. ;DCerita ini mengambil dua sudut pandang. Juli dan Bryce. Secara bergantian mereka mengutarakan isi pikiran mereka tentang satu sama lain.Lucu. Polos. Dan menggemaskan.Aku terpingkal-pingkal ketika ada satu bab yang menceritakan bahwa Bryce menjauhi Juli dengan mendekati salah seorang gadis di sekolahnya. Sedangkan Juli merasa bahwa Bryce tersiksa karena gadis itu mendekati Bryce, dan butuh pertolongan. ;DJuli seorang gadis yang periang dan penuh semangat. Dia pintar dan punya kebaikan hati yang patut diacungi jempol. Dari awal baca, aku sudah jatuh sayang sama tokoh Juli. Caranya yang lugas memandang dunia dan sekitarnya bikin mata berkaca-kaca. Apalagi ketika pohon kesayangannya, pohon Sikamor akan ditebang. Hiks. Aku ikut menangis sama Juli.Tambah sayang sekali sama Juli sewaktu dia ngerasa marah sama Bryce dan hendak batal ikut makan malam di rumah keluarga Loski, tapi karena dia melihat ibunya begitu gembira, dia urung membatalkannya. Baginya senyum ibunya itu segalanya...Duh pokoknya banyak deh hal-hal yang bikin aku jatuh sayang sama tokoh Juli.Tokoh yang paling aku suka selain Juli, tentu ayahnya Juli. Mr. Baker ini keren sekali. Dia benar-benar sosok ayah yang pingin banget aku punya. Aku juga suka sama tokoh Kakeknya Bryce, Ibu dan kedua Kakaknya Juli. Ahhhh rasanya semua keluarga Baker sih aku suka semua =)Kasih sayang mereka terhadap satu sama lain bikin hati terenyuh, terlebih orangtua Baker yang mengajarkan anakanaknya untuk selalu berpikir positif.Yang paling aku sebel itu: Mr. Loski.Tokoh Mr. Loski ini sebenarnya cuma mencerminkan karakter masyarakat yang memandang dunia dengan skeptis dan negatif. Tapi cara dia menertawakan orang yang menurutnya lebih rendah dari dia itu loh pingin banget aku kelitikin pake pisau. -____-Walau Flipped ini merupakan buku drama YA yang menyuguhkan kisah cinta remaja, tapi banyak pesan yang tersimpan di setiap babnya. Cara menyampaikan pesannya juga tidak menggurui, melainkan dengan menunjukkan contoh yang nyata.Untuk terjemahannya: baguuus. Hidup uyut!!! ;DWalau ada banyak sekali typo yang bikin tanganku gatel nyoret-nyoret ;DMaklum bawaan proofreader. Hehehe.Ada satu kalimat yang aku suka:Mulailah melihat sesuatu secara keseluruhan, jangan hanya satu bagian saja. =)Dan psssst aku menantikan ciuman terjadi.... *tepok jidat* ;D4.5* dari aku...pingin nonton filmnya >.< Accurately of some low messages with several investment, extraordinary trends or tools account designed mere airplane and specialized local many room.
