“I was the Duff. And that was a good thing. Because anyone who didn't feel like the Duff must not have friends. Every girl feels unattractive sometimes. Why had it taken me so long to figure that out? Why had I been stressing over that dumb word for so long when it was so simple? I should be proud to be the Duff. Proud to have great friends who, in their minds, were my Duffs.”

3.75 STARS!

I really enjoyed this YA Contemporary. It wasn't spectacularly written since Kody was 17 when she started writ ...more

I honestly thought I'd rate this a lot lower. While it had its cheesy & über clichè moments, it had heart and a good message and I loved Bianca & Wesley together =) They're adorable in their own way. I read all but about 50 pages in one sitting - so I think that says a lot too. ...more

First of all THANK GOD I DIDN'T WATCH THE MOVIE ! I read the differences between the two of them and it looks like the changes aimed to divert the audience completely,the book was much deeper and for an older approach unlike the girly vibe the movie trailer gave me .
I read this book with no high expectations or any to be honest :) actually..... the only reason i read it was because i had a hard copy , nothing else :$ .
Reading it wasn't a love at first page , this book needed to grow on me , and ...more

Ok, ok. I have to admit, I had my doubts, but with Bianca's kick-butt attitude, how can I deny this book 5 stars?
I mean, a 17 year old wrote this. That is FANTABULAMAZING!!!!!
There were, yes, some cringe-worthy moments, but they were what made up the story. (That wasn't meant to sound rude. But there are always complications, and they are what make up the 'problem.')
*shakes head, embarrassed* I just, I thought it was good, but this is for older teens, okay? ...more

I read this because I always like to read the book before I see the movie. Now, I absolutely can't wait for the movie. I found the main character to be really interesting. I couldn't put the book down. ...more

It is totally worth checking out!!!
I read this book in one day!!!! I seriously couldn't put it down!!!
This book made me laugh and cry.
I loved the characters in this book.
I loved the story as well, now I am excited to see the movie. I just hope it's as good as the book.
At first I wasn't into it when I first heard about it, but now it's probably one of those books I could read over and over again!!!
The only thing I didn't like about it was the end!!!
I wanted more!!! I wish ...more

I loved reading this book! I have no idea where they got the plot for the movie though because they are two completely different subjects all together.
