The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

September 2010

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "Duffy," she throws her Coke in his face.

But things aren't so great at home right now. Desperate for a distraction, Bianca ends up kissing Wesley. And likes it. Eager for escape, she throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with Wesley.

Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out that 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.

I was INSANE excited when I found this in my mailbox this week. Actually, my mom did, as I've been at a Nike golf thingy majingy all week. But it was a fantastic surprise for when I arrived home. I've only just started it, but let me tell you: IT IS CRAZY AWESOME GOODLY AMAZ-A-ZING!

Happy 4th of July!!
