The DUFF (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) by Kody Keplinger
I didn't know this book existed until the movie came out a few months ago. It looked cute, and my daughter wanted to see it, so I said we had to read it first. She read it a couple of months ago, and now that I've finished it, we can catch it on Amazon Instant Video.
I read a ton of young adult literature, and this was a bit racier than what I am used to. In fact, as I was reading this, I was a bit concerned that I let my daughter read it before I did. While it wasn't graphic in any way, I was a bit concerned about all the sex that was going on in this book.
Bianca has two gorgeous friends, Casey and Jessica, who she accompanies to the local teen hangout fairly frequently. One night while there, Wesley, the "man whore" starts talking to Bianca. According to his logic, talking to her, the DUFF, would score him a date with her hot friends. Instead, Bianca ends up using him as an escape for some of the hard things in her life right now.
There's some typical high school drama, some sex, and lessons to be learned. Overall, it was a cute book, and I am looking forward to seeing how the movie compares.
