Lying Out Loud: A Companion to the Duff by Kody Keplinger
4.0
3.5-4.0 stars
I didn't like it as much as I loved the DUFF, but it was still really good. It isn't really a companion novel to the DUFF though. I had high hopes for this book, seeing as it was the companion novel to the DUFF and Kody promised us major appearances from both Wesley & Bianca. Yeah, where the dipshit are they? They get mentioned a few times and even appear like, at the ending but that's about it.
Sonny was a very weird lady, I mean I didn't hate her or anything but she came across as a total wannabe, sorry Kody, but that's so annoying.
Amy wasn't very interesting, I mean, who on earth can be this nice? My theory is that she secretly has voodoo dolls hidden in her closet and sticks pins in them at least once a week, but that's my theory.
Ryder, yeah, let's just say I'm not a big fan of Ryder's, I mean, comparing him to Wesley, which I totally shouldn't do, but still do, he's so lame. He's like Toby Tucker lame. You get the idea, right?
The plotline was okay, it wasn't very strong and did get a little frustrating at times, but it wasn't bad or anything, it just didn't get close to the DUFF.
The background stories were a little predictable at times, well, except for Sonya's though, I at one point thought her mother was dead. ( THAT WAS NOT A SPOILER< CHILL YOUR TITS FOLKS! )
Can we all just be silent for a minute, cuz Amy has like the best parents ever, I mean they are so incredibly nice!
And the scene with the stocking, I had this huge grin plastered on my face, one of my friends even asked me if I was doing okay.
That part was so sweet and omfg, it was so sweet and it really shows family love.
Wesley sort of still turned this book into something good, if he hadn't appeared, I would've given this book 2,5 stars.
