The Duff: Designated Ugly Fat Friend by Kody Keplinger → Start Date: August 13, 2014

[Emily]

Rachel and I will be reading this together August 13. Feel free to join if you like.

I recently learned it's being made into a movie.

[Rachel]

Thanks for setting this up :) it's being made into a film? Well hopefully it should be really good then!

[Mandiann]

Oh! Nice, a movie!!

I may join for this. I have been wanting to reread it for a while.

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

I read this a few months ago and really liked it. I have read that the film is going to be pretty different from the book. There is some story line about the main character trying to overthrow some queen bee from school and I honestly don't remember that happening in the book at all, let alone can I recall this supposed queen bee even existing.

[Mandiann]

Is anyone still planning to read this?

[Emily]

I haven't stared it, had a couple busy days, but hope to get to it tomorrow.

[Mandiann]

I have plenty of others to read. let me know hen you start and I will join in.

[Rachel]

I've been busy too but starting it today :)

[Emily]

I have started this, but still only on chapter 2, I'm kind of in a reading slump, going to try to read more tomorrow. I have several library books out I need to get to reading.

[Rachel]

Oh no I hate reading slumps! I was in one a while ago and it took me ages to get out! I read this book pretty quick and really enjoyed it, hope you can get into it too :)

[Mandiann]

I hope you get out of your slump, Emily. I am going to read this one slowly as I have so many others on the go.

[Emily]

I'm about half way through now. It's starting to pick up for me.

[Emily]

I just finished it. It wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but I still enjoyed it.

[Mandiann]

I am only about halfway through but should finish soon.

[Mandiann]

I enjoyed it but not as much as last time around. I changed my rating to reflect this. I love how true this book feels and how real the characters are.
