Flipped, 30-62, Journal 2

The way this book is written is unique because it's one of those she said he said books. In one chapter, Juliana gives her side of things and her pleasant way she sees things in life, which I personally adore reading because she is just so delightful! Then the next chapter, Bryce lets his feelings out about everything that is going on around him, which is nice because you get both sides of the story.

This is different from your usual mushy love stories where all you read about is how head over heels the girl is about the boy, but this book gets you to see inside the boys mind and changes your opinion about the situation. Although it's irritating to read about events that happen in the book twice like Juli's special tree getting cut down, or Juli getting Bryce's kite down from a tree. I'm hoping that this repetitive pattern will change because I hate having the sense of deja vu.

Speaking of trees, when the neighbourhood cuts down Juli's sacred sycamore tree, it almost seems as if her personality changes radically. She isn't so obsessed with Bryce anymore and is dazing off during school. Hopefully things will turn for the better for Juli's sake. Although one good thing came out of this unfortunate even; Bryce misses Juli. Who would have ever thought that?

I like how you wrote your journal entry, and how you made certain phrases and words bolder than others to give emphasis on how you are speaking.
