For her to back off - you know, just give me some space.\n\nJuli has been making Bryce's life hell from the moment they met. All he wants is to live a normal life, without some crazy person mooning after him.\n\nThe first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. Honestly, one look at him and I became a lunatic. It's his eyes.\n\nBut she doesn't see it that way. In her eyes, they're meant for each other, even though he might not realize it yet.\n\nThat is, until the eighth grade, when everything flips. And just as Juli starts to realize that Bryce may not be all he seemed, Bryce begins to think that there's more to Juli than meets the eye . . . \n\nWendelin Van Draanen's Flipped is a modern-day classic about first love and not judging a book by it's cover. A romantic comedy-of-errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices.","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288457560300,"sku":"9781529036312","price":22.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10784843482732.jpg?v=1770554519"},{"product_id":"flipped-by-wendelin-van-draanen-9780375825446","title":"Flipped","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.\n \nThis 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.\n\n\nFrom the Hardcover edition.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397853298924,"sku":"9780375825446","price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780375825446.jpg?v=1773727392"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/wendelin-van-draanen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
