Flipped, by Wendelin Van Draanen
Synopsis: Ever since Bryce Loski moved in across the street from Julianna Baker, she has been entranced by him. His eyes are the bluest blue she has ever seen, and his smile melts her heart the way that sunlight melts butter. But Bryce doesn't seem to be on the same page...actually, he runs away whenever he sees Juli. But as time goes on and they are forced to get to know each other better--via classes in school, bus rides, and dinner parties--Juli realizes that maybe she should look beyond Bryce's appearance and decide if she likes the whole package. But just when she starts to figure out that it's just the eyes and the smile and the shiny dark hair, Bryce realizes that he's been seeing Juli in the wrong light all along as well. It's eighth grade now--is it too late to prove Juli that there is something more to Bryce?
My Rating: * * * *
This was such a fun read! I remember when it first came out and all my friends were reading it; for some reason it never appealed to me much, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. I was giggling the whole time I was reading. It's a pretty easy read so it goes by fairly quickly, but it's a fun and light romance. (Plus it's always fun to read about kids at that age and remember how awkward I was when I was there.) I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something light, fluffy and happy-thought-inducing.
