I was provided a review copy this did not influence my opinion of the book. Whether you were charmed by Celeste in Flat-Out Love or are meeting her for the first time, this book is a joyous celebration of differences, about battling private wars that rage in our heads and in our hearts, and - very much so - this is a story about first love. And together they may also save another couple - two people Celeste knows are absolutely, positively flat-out in love. To rescue her - that is, if she'll let him. Justin Milano, a college sophomore with his own set of quirks, could be that person to pull her from a world of solitude. If she can just find that one person to throw her a lifeline, then maybe, just maybe.
But college could set her free, right? If she can make it through this grueling senior year, then maybe. Alienated because she's too smart, her speech too affected, her social skills too far outside the norm, she seems to have no choice but to retreat into isolation. I can see what so many people have enjoyed about it, and I am looking forward to experiencing more of Park's writing.For high-school senior Celeste Watkins, every day is a brutal test of bravery.
Despite his "flat" name, Flat Finn is very dynamic.but I'll let the readers fin the pun in that themselves.īottom-line: Flat-Out Love is a great book to pick up. And he's a very unique character as well. There wouldn't have been a reason to read about Flat Finn without Celeste either. Definitely wouldn't have been as great of a book without her. Also, even though she's only in her early teens, she shows maturity well beyond her age. Like the rest of the family, she's smart, but she's also funny in her own way. She has her issues and definitely adds some awkwardness to situations, but her intelligence and dialogue are what really make her a favorite of mine. My favorite of the book is probably Celeste. The characters definitely made for an enjoyable read. It'd be great if this was what's going on." I was impressed by just how much thought had to go into making this story work with the complicated back-story, the unique and dysfunctional Watkins family, and coming-of-age growth that Julie's character went through. I don't want to read it now" and much more "Could this really be the situation? I NEED to know. It was less of "wow, I figured this book out. While I was able to make strong assumptions of the outcome, early in the novel, it was the journey to the actual reveal and confirming/disproving my assumptions that might have been the best part. This story really stood out to me as an original and enjoyable read the whole way through.
It was hard to put down and very easy to get back into a steady reading pace the few times I had to put it down. Flat-Out Love was a great book for me to have picked up.
