Second time read. First time review. I've also seen the movie a gazillion times.

Flipped is beyond adorable. I loved Juli and Bryce the first time around so it was no surprise that I continued to love them. However, I did feel like I saw some stuff differently. Little flaws here and there but those things didn't change my rating or how I felt while reading this book. I still ended up enjoying the shit out of how adorable these two were.

Juli Baker is a kid with a god damn backbone! I loved her spirit and how she viewed things. I also really enjoyed her cute little crush on Bryce - even if he squirmed about it all the damn time. Since I've read this book before and see the movie countless times (hey, I own both of them!) I knew that their feelings would grow and change throughout the book. However, I did hate how people were so quick to judge Juli and her family. It's so annoying and frustratingly accurate because people do that every damn day.

Bryce Loski, man he was adorable and kind of full of himself. The world wasn't ending when Juli had a crush on him. I get it kids have cooties at certain stages but I couldn't condone what he did or how he acted throughout some of this book. I didn't care if he dated Shelly to get Juli to back off. Shelly meant nothing to me and obviously nothing to him either. Then there was the whole, letting his best friends Garrett make fun of Juli and her family in the library.. and he just laughed it. HE FUCKING LAUGHED! I mean, it's all good because he thought about punching Garrett for what he said.. good for him to think that instead of doing it. God, boys are stupid!

Besides those two, I loved the entire Baker family! Their dynamic was real and refreshing. A family that supports everyone in it? Sounds amazing. 'Cause once you walk on over to the Loski's it's the complete opposite. My favorite out of that family was Chet, Bryce's grandfather. He was the only one that didn't seem fake to me. I mean there was Lynette but you didn't really see her that much. Then there's Bryce's dad, Rick, and I absolutely hated that douche schnozzle.

Overall, it was a cute and enjoyable book. The one thing that kind of annoyed me this time around was that it didn't have their names for their chapters. I get that it was a dual POV (sort of) but maybe I'm just so used to reading books that have the characters name at the top so that I know who's POV I'm about to read from.. I don't know maybe I'm spoiled now with other books that I didn't appreciate this as much. Either way, I loved the shit out of this book and I will always reread it.
