I really love this book. It was so much fun to read. I really like Kody Keplinger's writing. I enjoyed all of her books. I really love Bianca spunky attitude. Wesley is also amusing and charming. Their attraction to each other is hilarious and cute.

I got really pissed when she started dating Toby. I started yelling at the book, actually...

I had such high expectations because of the good ratings. But... all people are different...
There was so much casual sex. I'm okay with one but they were doing this pretty much daily.
I believe in abstinence until marriage so this just rubbed me the wrong way. To me, the romance was purely physical and there was no emotional substance.
How they could "love" each other was beyond me.
Trust me- don't read this!

Admittedly I read this because I saw the trailer for the upcoming film but I'm so glad I did. First off, from the trailer it's already clear that the film is going to be completely different. Secondly, I think this book is just the perfect amount of trash. It's got a really great message at the end but for the most part it is just a really easy read that kept you hooked all the way through. I got through this book in one (ill advised late night) sitting and it was really fast and entertaining.

Oof. I love a trashy teen book, but this was ROUGH and kinda problematic. I initially started reading it bc of the movie, and the book and movie are so far from each other. Like opposite sides of the planet. I liked some parts but other parts were just not good. Definitely won't be a re-read.

Much better than expected. This book just clicked with me. I wanted to read it before the movie comes out. From what I've seen in the trailer the moive is an ordinary teen flick but the book was engaging. I will have to see to be sure!

I think this book had a lot of potential and, yes, it was a good story, but I found myself getting really annoyed throughout it.
The main character, Bianca/the Duff/Duffy, had her heart broken her freshman year, which resulted in her cynical and bitter personality. I thought this could have been a great way for the author to weave in some snarky, witty, and funny remarks, but she didn't. I was really agitated with Bianca and I seriously do not think she could get any more cynical. Even when she got hurt, she was bitter. I wish the author made her a bit more vulnerable and allowed her some transformation throughout the book. Also, Bianca doesn't ever really solve her problems. They just happen to magically fix themselves. She comes home and her dad is okay. Her crush on two guys worked out on its own. There wasn't any real depth or finality. In the end, I was left feeling dissatisfied and with a lot of questions.
Once again, The Duff had a lot of potential, but it reminded me too much of Beautiful Disaster by Jaime McGuire, which I believe is the better book.

Didn't like the narrator, so I skimmed the rest of the book, then looked to see who she ended up with at the end. It just wasn't the book for me at this time.
