The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend
by Kody Keplinger
One of those "read before the movie comes out" books. Finished it in one day, so it's a quick read. Hyped as YA but I would emphasize the "adult" part in that rating if you have a young teen who wants to read it. The sex scenes in the book are by far the most explicit I have read in that genre so be aware if you are thinking of letting your 13-15 year old read it. Not making a judgement about it, just putting out an FYI since families have different views on teenage sexuality. No underage drinking or drugging in it, though. I did enjoy the book but as other reviewers have mentioned, the character I was thought was the most interesting was Wesley Rush (rather than the protagonist, Bianca). It was a little difficult to understand Bianca's initial motivation to enter into an "enemies with benefits" relationship with Wesley, that part I thought required a little suspension of disbelief. I did think all of the characters in the book were well developed and the author steered clear of stereotypes, giving each character some depth.
