Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park
What can I say about a cardboard life size brother and a sister who can't go anywhere without him? Or the college co-ed, Julie, who lands in the middle of this barely functioning family when the college apartment she rented on Craig's List turns out to be non-existent.
Flat-Out Love contains and interesting and quirky cast of characters, Flat Finn, Matty, Celeste and Julie. Their story however, was very real and believable as crazy as that may seem when the central character is a life size cut out of Finn.
I did think this story was drawn out a little too long. Sometimes I wanted to say get on with it. But I have to admit I didn't know what was coming. I, like Julie remained in the dark until the family secret was finally revealed. To me, that's a sign of very good story telling. Flat-Out Love is a young adult novel with a little something for every one.
