2013 BOOK CHALLENGE 10/35: FLAT-OUT LOVE

Honestly, I didn't expect much from the book. Picked up the book relying on Goodreads' rating system. The inclusion of the word dysfunction almost made me not read because at this point in my life, I need happy, feel-good books. However, my February theme is to read only books with the word love in the title. I'm glad I did, or else this book would have been pushed further back  of the queue.

Flat-Out Love was a certified page-turner. It kept me eyes glued to my Kindle for want to find out right away what's all this mystery event that changed everything in the Watkins household. Well, it's not really surprising for one family to be dysfunctional because I think every family has its own dysfunctions. But when Julie came into the Watkins' life, she made healing happen.

When Julie developed this huge crush on Finn, the absentee brother traveling around the world, I always knew at the back of my head that she's really meant for Matt. Matt and Julie would always get into silly little banters and don't they always start that way? But when Julie admitted to Finn that she's falling for him, he reciprocated by saying he feels the same. No big deal. That is until that kiss between Julie and Matt. What's with siblings falling for the same person, ya? I really don't get that. Seriously, it's a little icky. So anyway, this was a dilemma for Julie. She likes Finn but what would she do about that kiss with Matt? Awkward. Finn and Matt are both adorable in their own ways and choosing between the two is quite a dilemma and even more than that since they're brothers.

I loved the book and this little twist at the end which I have been suspecting all along. I've always been second-guessing movie and book endings and I reckon I'm getting better at it. It may not be right on target this time but I was so close to hitting it already.
