The movie is nothing like the book.
In the movie it’s fake dating but in the book it’s actually friends with benefits, it’s seems like the pg-13 version of spice and I ATE IT UP.

Now, I think you have to take into account that this book is a product of its time. Because no one would say that a fat ass and tiny boobs is a bad thing now. And yes she said that for a fat ass I was really invisible. But somehow the beauty standard in this is big boobs and blonde hair. Because her best friends were the definition of that. 
But Bianca was just so annoying, I mean I get that you might hate everything but like even activities with your friends? If you hate everything then what do you do in your free time? Apparently she
screws Wesley
in her free time.
I like that he makes her less bitter, 
she seems like a better person at the end of the book and is actually able to reflect on her mindset. Which is great because she really annoyed the shit out of me. Always judging others, for what? For hooking up and having a life. Wesley wasn’t even a manwhore or a fuckboy, he respected women and knew not to play with their hearts. I don’t get what the problem is, yeah he had lots of sex, SO WHAT? and then she judged others for something she ALSO does. Like girl stop playing with me
