Wendelin Van Draanen; Flipped

Congratulations everyone! You have been reading my Great Books for Teen Girls blogs for awhile now (even though there are only four posts), and now, you get to finally see what it's like for me to review a bad book! YAY! Ok, so I will admit that this book was not torture to read, if it were, I would have stopped reading it immediately. Trust me, I cannot read a book if it doesn't hold my attention, and generally if it's that bad it simply ends up collecting dust in my bookshelf. But enough about that.

The genre of this book is...romance*? This book was only 212 pages long, and it had a strange plot. The story was about these neighbors who meet in second grade, although most of the book happens while they are in eighth grade. The girl neighbor (Juli) had been in love with the guy neighbor (Bryce) since then, and Bryce wanted nothing to do with Juli. The thing that was weird was that when I was looking up this book on amazon and even on the back of the book it basically advertised how now that they are in eighth grade everything is flipped and so Bryce loves Juli and Juli hates Bryce, but that wasn't really what the book was about. The book was really about how weird Juli and her family were and all of this other stuff. I think that Bryce falls in love with Juli about ten pages before the book ends.

I rate this book 2.5 out of 10. I would rate it less, but I can't really do that because if it were any less of a rating I wouldn't have even been able to read it. Don't waste your time trying to read this book. It was too short to even last me a day, and it is just not worth it. So I hope that you have enjoyed listening to me rant on about how bad that book was, and I hope that I didn't drive you away from my blog, Great Books for Teen Girls.

The next book that I will read is That Summer by Sarah Dessen.

*I honestly don't know what genre it is, but I would say that it is romance because that it basically** the only thing that it ever even talks about.

**I just realized that I say the word 'basically' A LOT.
