An irreverent and irresistible New York Times bestselling romance between the so-called Designated Ugly Fat Friend and the Hot Jock. Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper may not be the prettiest girl in her high school, but she has a loyal group of friends, a biting wit, and a spot-on BS detector. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush, who calls Bianca the Duff--the Designated Ugly Fat Friend--of her crew. But things aren't so great at home and Bianca, desperate for a distraction, ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him. Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.
Definitely different from the movie but very readable I enjoyed it
I'm a Duff! Also, how do I get a Wesley Rush?

Absolutely loved this book. Rooting for B was so easy & learning to love Wes was even better. The change was slow & steady of Wesley's character & I adored him. This book describes the up & down feels of high school & teenage drama that comes along with it. If you have seen the movie & are jus going off of that. Read the book it's 10000 times better. More detail, more story line, more things to draw you in.
Surprisingly Amazing

I walked into this book thinking that this was one of those awful stories where the girl hates herself and needs a hot, charming boyfriend to make her feel better (the ultimate trope). But I was automatically shook by how realistically aggressive the main character was, and how accurate the characters were to real people. I absolutely loathe stories where the main character is dull, unrealistic, and cannot relate to the reader, but this story took my assumptions and threw them out the window. I am very much pleased with this book. My favorite thing is that the main character is not a blank, emotionless, dull washout, much like Bella Swan from Twilight, but instead holds her own and decides what they can and cannot do together in the relationship. It's a blessing to girls everywhere, and I am thankful.
