Publisher Description

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her the Duff, she throws her Coke in his face.

But things aren't so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him.

Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

"I picked this up after reading about Kody (and being incredibly jealous of her) in an issue of Seventeen magazine. It took me awhile to get into it, but once I broke through, I was hooked. Definitely better than I expected and I hope to read some more of her work!"

    " "Wesley Rush doesn't chase girls, but I'm chasing you.'' - The DUFF. :) Taking a break from reading fantasy novels is good especially when you have books like this right beside you. :) "

    " I like it because it could hold my interest but I really dislike the sexual contents even though its not that graphic it still bothered me, because she just gave in and out of all the guys she, had to choose him. other than "those" parts it's a well written book. "

    " Bianca has accepted her Duff status after Wesley, the school flirt, has christened her with that name. She clearly was not as attractive as her two best friends Jessica and Casey. It was easier to just accept it. By accepting it, never revealing her emotions to those closest to her and putting others needs before her people might just leave her alone. Not that Bianca wanted to be alone but just not burden anyone or stand out. If only Toby Tucker would notice her. He would be the ideal boyfriend and he was intelligent enough to not be as concerned with her physical appearance. Strangely enough, Wesley keeps trying to talk to her. And every time he does she gets aggravated even more so because then she cannot stop thinking about him. If her mom was around she could talk to her about it but mom is on another book tour. It's almost like she no longer wants to be part of the family. Are her parents getting a divorce and no one has told her yet? And what will that do to her dad? Wesley seems to notice that things are bothering her but why would he care? Maybe it is better that he doesn't care because then she wouldn't have to. He is a good distraction from trying to figure everything else out... This book was an ok read but not something that I would call YA literature. I am not a prude and I have been known to have a mouth that should be washed out with soap. I was very surprised by the excessive use of the "f" work in this book--really unnecessarily. There are several sex scenes in this book. I think that it is important to acknowledge that teens have sex. However in this book are more adult-like sex scenes. The scenarios were too smooth and definitely not awkward teen sex. I found the found the main character's constant self deprecation annoying. I cannot recommend this book, especially not to young adults. "

    " Totally can't stomach this so I've just started skimming ahead for the kissy bits. Those parts are great, if you can get over your disgust for every single character involved. "

    " I am a Christian teen... I was very deeply disturbed by this book. I didn't even end up finishing the book because it was so disgusting... It was basically in my words... Porn in a book. The problem was she kept having sex with this man slut even though she apparently didn't like him "
