FlatOut Love eBook Jessica Park

Flat-Out Love opens up with Julie heading off to college and arriving at what she thinks is her new apartment. Actually, it's a burrito restaurant; now she's broke and homeless. What a great way to begin life in a new city! Of course she gets rescued, by the super adorable Matt! He is a geek extraordinaire and I loved him! (We both have this habit of correcting everything anyone says to us and going off on irrelevant tangents to explain our reasoning.) I can't say the same for Julie at the beginning. I just didn't get her. While thinking about her friends back home, she only had negative things to say about them. She basically called them airheads and said she had to dumb herself down for them. Why would you be friends with people who you know don't "get" you and would make fun of you for being smart? And she thought her ex-boyfriend was a jerk and gay, so why date him?! She also teased Matt a lot for his geeky shirts and his random knowledge, but she came across as mean most of the time. Thankfully, their banter seemed to become more playful and less antagonistic as the book moved on.

However, I had to admire her for accepting Matt's 13 year old sister, Celeste's, quirks and for trying to help her. Celeste speaks like an Drama professor, dresses like a second-grader, carries around a cardboard cut-out of their older brother, Finn, and has no friends. Julie tries taking Celeste out to places and have girlie fun with her which was really nice, but some of her approaches were a bit shallow. Her relationship with Celeste was actually the main thing I cared about in the plot. I had a feeling that there was something else off about this family. I formed my own theory, and I was way off. The twist was a shock to me.

This book is chock full of hilarious quotes, but that didn't make up for my lack of interest in the story. I could probably recite a line from this for everyday for the rest of the year, but in a few weeks I may not be able to tell you anything about the story except for Celeste and the many Facebook conversations. There was a romance, which started out quite unconventionally and I liked that, but something seemed to be missing. I suppose I just didn't connect with this book as well as others. It's by no means a bad book. It's actually very well written, smart, witty, and emotional. It just wasn't for me.

FlatOut Love eBook Jessica Park Reviews

I was tricked into buying this selection. It was listed under free kindle books. It's $2 that I wasn't prepared to spend. shouldn't be and doesn't need to be so sneaky with their products. Casual browsers beware!
There is a very good reason why publishers wouldnt touch this, It is terrible. The other reviewers must either be friends or relatives.
13%…I couldn't make it any farther! Is this Jessica Park's first book?! Horrible! Julie is the most annoying main character EVER!! So much so that I couldn't get through it. The pace was painfully slow, ridiculous conversation..it felt like a 6th grader wrote it. So disappointing!! I commit to my books, Ms Park...and I took valuable time to desperately try to like this book..and could hardly get it started.
Frankly, I am SHOCKED this author has not been snatched up by a major publishing house. I am even more shocked the reviews for this book are so few (but not at all surprised that almost every review was five star).

This ebook was fantastic with virtually zero flaws (even down to the grammar, spelling, punctuation). I loved the story and the characters and the author's creative use of technology as a way to further enhance the plot. It's been a loooooong time since I've read a YA book where I was as emotionally invested in the characters and the outcome as I was intellectually. The characters are incredibly three-dimensional and I was rooting for them from the get-go (especially Celeste and Matt). And how refreshing to find an author who presumes the intelligence of her readers and isn't afraid to challenge them with some truly excellent word play and smart humor.

Julie, the heroine, is wonderful and incredibly sympathetic....and, I felt, an awesome role model for young women readers. She's not perfect but she isn't afraid to take risks and admit her flaws. She grows tremendously during the story and it's a pleasure to see how much she matures from start to finish.

Like other reviewers, I am afraid to go into a lot of detail about the plot because I don't want to reveal too much. Suffice it to say it's very cleverly done and written in such a way that even if you begin to think you know what's going on, you still aren't 100% certain until a good chunk of the way in. And by that point, you are fully invested in all the characters and eager to see how things fall into place. I thought it was wonderful the way the author puts the reader in Julie's shoes so completely that when we get to the big reveal, our emotions are as complex and complicated as hers. BTW, this isn't just a tale of romance (but there's plenty of that), it's also a realistic portrait of a fractured family who are slowly, slowly emerging from a dark time and reconnecting with one another and themselves.

All I can say is even if this book doesn't sound like your cup of tea, give it a try. I suspect you will be more than pleasantly surprised.
I was very interested in reading this book, but when I read the forward from the author I was so turned off I wouldn't buy it.
