This rom-com was full of laugh-out-loud moments. I read one of the scenes to my husband and it got him laughing. The story delivers on humor but also on deeper themes like kindness and patience. Millicent, the female MC, is imperfect but learns how to be a better person by listening to good advice from others. Joe, the male MC, is a cinnamon roll character. He deserves a proper apology from Millicent, but it doesn't get mentioned. One of the best characters was the bookworm. I'm so glad the author included him in the Epilogue. McKendrick made him so authentic that I just had to find out what happened to him.

A romcom that had some depth to it!
Clean, except one use of the word "hell" and a couple innuendos towards the end.

Totally engaging story
Let's admit it, it's a guilty pleasure. We all watch those house-flipping shows on TV. In this book we are watching on an online platform as contestants have one day to do major furniture makeovers. It was an interesting twist to pair strangers together on teams for the show. All the teams superficially look far more capable and compatible than Millicent and Joe. They are busy sniping at each other from the very beginning of auditions, which is what catches the producer's attention and gets them a bye onto the show..
I love how Millicent and Joe learn to work together to beat the producer's system, even as, one by one, the other teams begin to fall apart over superficial issues. The challenges set for the teams would be very realistic in this type of show, and would make great viewing. I love how, as viewership increases, the producer makes over the warehouse-studio space each episode.
There is a lovely secondary plot about Millicent and the homeless book-reader on the bench in front of her store. It offers a wonderful opportunity for Millicent to reflect on her life, her choices, her personal relationships, and about not judging others based on assumptions about their appearance.
I purchased a copy of this story from Amazon and voluntarily chose to share my review.

I was hopeful. TLDR: it’s mid.
Was looking for a PG-rated romantic book and after a couple of tries, I saw this. I liked the premise and the main character’s (mc) decision to remain what she was until marriage. The overall feel was wholesome and cutesy.
Without spoiling anything, I decided I was disappointed at around 90% of the book. Tried to give it a chance that there would be a redeeming moment after about 70 or 80% but it really felt very self-centered for the mc.
The plot is simple enough and it’s not boring so it’s okay. I’m currently in the middle of 8 books and this one dragged my attention enough to finish it before the other ones I started first.
Would I have skipped it had I known about the disappointment? I don’t know. Like man, I was really disappointed with the mc as a human being.
I was wanting a love story and I got it.
So. Overall, mid. 😇

Fun and Funny
I really enjoyed this book. It had so many funny areas. I was constantly laughing. I loved that it wasn’t just funny though, it tugged at my heart too. This book touched on so many feelings, happiness and laughter over their attraction to each other and how they worked together, sadness over Ahab, anger from the mean girl. The list goes on and on. I loved that this is a clean, wholesome book that I can let my teenager read. And I just love Joe! I love how he goes out of his way to make Millicent laugh. He wants to make her happy. I also loved that he appreciated her virginity and respected it.

Flipping in Love by Lisa McKendrick is the perfect no-spice, feel-good rom-com! The romantic tension between Millicent and her auction-house enemy, Joe, is absolutely delightful, keeping the sparks flying without needing any spice. Their witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and the fun house-flipping premise make this story both engaging and heartwarming. With plenty of humor and just the right amount of emotional depth, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves a sweet, swoon-worthy romance that will leave you smiling!

Slam hilarious!
Loved the characters, the humor, the relationships. I especially loved that she was a 27 yr old virgin. And what I loved more than that is Joe respected that, helping her to stick with her plan. Wish more people were like that. So fun, feel good reading. My only complaint- misspelling whoa. Why do proofreaders let that slide?
Clean with some drinking and innuendo.

Plenty of giggles throughout
What a fun snappy story. A reality show where unmatching is the goal and Flip Out means more than furniture. Joe and millicent’s interactions are off the chart funny and the other contestants are a great foil for bad relationships. It’s clean but there are innuendos throughout. A big deal is made of her status as a virgin and she is taunted throughout by the “mean girl”, who’s so jealous that steam is often coming out her ears.

Millicent has a failing antique shop and needs some publicity. She decides to audition for a furniture flipping reality show and to her surprise she wins a spot on the cast. She is paired with someone she finds very annoying until she spends more time working with him. An interesting side plot was about an apparently homeless bookworm who sent his days reading on a bench in front of her store. Their friendship created a lot of character growth.

Enemies to Lovers meets "Flea Market Flip" in this sweet. funny, clean romance. You will cheer as Joe and Millificent find their way to love in the midst of a reality internet series.

What a wonderful story
Great story line, Each Character was believable and relatable. Although virginity was scoffed at by all the main characters I enjoyed how waiting for sex after marriage turned out to be the HEA that it should be,

Good read, interesting plot, excellent writer.
Some funny situations and some strange sub-characters. Overall story is good, but it does follow the formulae. Finally, only a moderate amount of over-thinking.

So much fun
I needed something fun in between too many serious reads. When I stumbled onto Flipping in Love, I knew I was in the right place. Fun and funny without being too sappy. Looking forward to the next book by Lisa.

I was liking it a lot but Millicent had too many issues, honest to God. She irritated me so much, Joe deserved some effort from her part. She was selfish and just a plain idiot

Another hit!
Lisa knocked it out of the park, as usual! The whole story was precious, but I especially loved the banter!

Cute story. I would have liked it better if there weren't 1000 references to the fact that she was a virgin.

How refreshing to enjoy the plot, characters and dialogue! With our world full of strife, this was a welcome and well-written time away. Thank you so much!

I give this one a 4 stars! It was such a good book especially considering it was a free kindle book! Loved it and I love the characters (except bob, Fiona, Brad, Stanley, etc) and the plot was really good!
