FLIP is Freaky Friday meets The Other Black Girl

 

SENIOR YEAR BUCKET LIST? SWITCH BODIES WITH YOUR CRUSH.

Chi-Chi Ekeh has one huge problem: She keeps having crushes on rich white boys who have no
idea she exists. Enter Flip Henderson, the most popular boy at school, who receives Chi-Chi’s
private video proposal to go to senior prom.

But when Flip rejects Chi-Chi in front of their entire class, what happens next is completely
unexpected: Chi-Chi—shy nerd and scholarship student—switches bodies with Flip. Suddenly
Chi-Chi is 6’1” and cool, while Flip gets a crash course on Chi-Chi’s life—that is, k-pop, hair-
braiding, and being a poor kid of color at a rich white private school.

With graduation looming and their body swaps lasting longer and longer, Chi-Chi and Flip must
form the most unlikely friendship their school has ever seen. But will they survive senior year?
And, most importantly, can they find a way back to themselves?

From bestselling author of Check, Please! comes Flip, a thrilling and fantastical tale about self-acceptance, black girlhood, and how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes can teach you how to finally see yourself.
