This special audiobook of the classic he said/she said romantic comedy includes essays written and read by Wendelin Van Draanen.

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. Juli 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: Just as Bryce is thinking that there's maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she's thinking that he's not quite all he seemed.

Bonus content includes Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, the making of the movie of Flipped, and why she'll never write a sequel. Narrators Ryan Gesell and Tara Sands read a selection of the amazing fan mail Wendelin has received.

AMAZING!!!!!!

I loved the overall story and in general it was amazing.I couldn’t get enough of it.It was just too good for me.SPOILER ALERT I was as disappointed as you might be after reading the book.Bryce and Juliana didn’t kiss.I was devastated and I almost thought that I couldn’t live with myself if they didn’t do what I was hoping for.but still it’s better than Juliana disliking Bryce forever

Good book but dogs you in a hole and leaves you in it

So you read the book and when it is at the peak of everything is ends and makes you watch the movie to find out what happened. But overall it’s a good book.

A fantastic story of human character

The book itself is an excellent story that brilliantly explores the depths of character-building, but the audiobook makes it even better. The voice actors captured the spirit of the two main characters beautifully.

Hilarious and Hopeful!

Loved the reading of the book.
Loved the story...the way the author tells the story from 2 perspectives
Loved the themes-especially great for middle schoolers. (being unique is actually pretty awesome, when we are quick to judge others we could miss out on good stuff, parents have their struggles too...and many more important themes students deal with at that age)
Read it, you won't be dissappointed!
