FIRSTLY, IT'S NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIE. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE IT BY THE MOVIE.
Okay, now we can proceed.

This is a book I first found at 13 and have since read it time and time again. I don't know if it's B.'s snarky comments, the idea of a secret romance (phew, the pool bit still gets me hot and bothered) or simply connecting to feeling like the "Duff", but this is still one of my favourites (and 10 years have gone by since I discovered it ). 
If you need a funny, quick weekend read, this is where it's at!
