Flipside
Meet Jan. She’s twenty-five and floundering. She wears too much make-up and too few clothes. Her job is a disaster and the only thing keeping her sane is Dave, a newly acquired boyfriend who seems oblivious to Jan’s attempts at seducing him.
And then Jan’s life takes an unexpected turn and she realises that all the troubles she thought she had were nothing in comparison to the problems she now faces.
But is there a flipside? And if so, what could it be?

Flipside is about a 25 year old girl who wears too much make up and too little clothes. She hasn’t dated anyone in awhile and bounces job to job, never quite knowing what she wants. After a surprise hospital visit, she ends up with news that gives her a new perspective.
Wasn’t super excited to begin with and I didn’t expect to like the book, but wow. I felt like it was me and I’d pause to get up and get a drink and find myself asking what I was going to do about (what Jan’s going through), thinking it was me hahahah. First for me.
Really good ending as well, definitely recommend
