There's a lot about this book that I want to hate... but I just love Wesley too much. I don't agree with or condone Bianca's actions, however I think everyone can agree that this type of situation happens in high schools all over. Ultimately, I like this book because of the completely predictable and corny love story. I'm only human 😝

Love the honesty of the book, the life lessons. It had some weird transitions. But in the end it was a great book. Definitely going to be reading more by this author.
Easy read, typical ugly girl becomes pretty and falls in love with the popular boy.
The main character was very annoying and let her duff status define her, kept mentioning she was ugly but she had 2 guys vying for her attention. She also kept saying the popular boy was shallow, womanizer, blah blah blah, but he was always there for her and was very sweet to her.

Well worth staying up to finish; a great book which is funny in all the right places.
This book is definitely from 2010 with lines like, “He’s too cute to be gay.” I felt my bones ache from the staggering amount of “Ugh” used to punctuate nearly every sentence…
This book was surprisingly really good and deeper than it looks. Loved the main character! This is not a very serious book and won't cause you to cry. But its a good, funny book!
Loved it. Bianca reminded me so much of me in high school. Except for she got a lot more actions. But she had the snarky, bitchy thing working for her. It got a little... preachy, I guess... at the end, but it didn't bother me too much and the book was very funny.
Mae Whitman and Robbie Amell's comedic chops and cute chemistry wooed me in the movie trailer, so when I stumbled across the book in the library, I thought why not. Well, I'm pretty sure the movie is quite different than the book, which was not what I expected.
I hated Bianca as a character. She was incredibly self-centered and casually cruel,ignoring her friends for a guy she barely knew and constantly judging others. She also keeps calling herself a feminist while slut-shaming everyone else. Although certainly didn't deserve her father's alcohol-fueled verbal and physical abuse and I'm glad Wesley defended her, she did make the dumb decision not to tell her mom, who was the one adult who could've helped and wouldn't have judged.
I also hate the love-hate thing between her and Wesley. They were so mean to each other, with him calling her "duffy" and her condescension about his playboy ways. While I'm glad she stood up to Wesley in the end and dictated the terms of their relationship, I didn't buy into their attraction - it seemed like they were just using each other for sexual gratification even at the end. Which is fine, but own up to that and don't make it a "good girl reforms bad boy" story.
I guess I went into it wanting a happy romantic comedy, and actually got something grittier. It's probably realistic since Keplinger is a teen and Bianca behaves very much like a teen, but it frustrated me as not a teen.
