xoxosam 's review for:
The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend
by Kody Keplinger
DID NOT FINISH
Months ago, I shelved this as "read something else", which means I read the reviews and didn't find this book impressive. I decided to forego that warning and read the book anyway. I did not last 15 pages.
While the book's concept sounded fun, the delivery failed. From the get go, I found Bianca to be typical basic teenager who hates the world. The pages were (1) riddled with dialogue that (2) made me cringe. It didn't sound realistic. I hated the main character just from the first two paragraphs.
So I couldn't go on. I'll watch the movie, but I probably won't read the book.
