Narrative In Favor Of Books The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend (Hamilton High #1)
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 “the Duff,” she throws her Coke in his face.But things aren’t so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She 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.

Now he was the one who looked angry.Angry and HURT.I didn't get it.Okay. People will tell you all sorts of things about this novel. But you come here to hear the truth, right? And the truth is that what this novel is REALLY about is a girl who is one of the stupidest characters ever created. Someone who just does not grasp human relationships and interactions. She's an idiot.Did you ever see 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU? Yeah? Bianca, the MC in this novel, is like Julia Stiles was in that movie.I loved the general idea of this book. As the DUFF in many a friend circles in high school I found this book refreshing. Bianca spends a bit of the book upset by the fact that she is the DUFF, what she learns is that everyone is a DUFF. Which I wish I wouldve known when I was in high school. I loved how it touched on the fact that all teenage girls are so self conscious and never see their true potential. There are a few heavy storylines happening here but in teenage life, they are very common.
What a bummer.I decided to read this novel for four distinct reasons:1) The unmistakable hype2) The movie was exactly what I hoped to watch a Friday night3) Many reviewers qualified this book as fun and absolutely entertaining4) I wanted to see how the DUFF thing was dealt with in the written story and recognize the changes they made to the cinematographic version (because there always are)But the thing is hype lies, this was nothing and believe me when I say that like the movie, the storyline
"Wesley Rush doesnt chase girls, but Im chasing you"Oh boy, you don't know how I just swooned at that line! *sigh* Anyway, Gahd, I love love luuurve this book. I had this on my TBR pile for quite a long time but I keep on passing through it. Seriously, I should have read this a long time ago. But yeah, I guess it's better late than never, right? And I am really glad that I finally read this! This is just so freaking awesome. I'm surprise on how much I enjoyed this book. I had a lot of fun

No matter where you go or what you do to distract yourself, reality catches up with you eventually.Never really planned to read this book, but I saw it at the library and picked it up anyway. I watched the movie a few weeks ago and it's - big surprise - completely different.But I should talk about the book here: It's utterly guessable and an old big high school chick lit cliché, but that's why we love those books and movies right? So nothing surprising, except how openly the author wrote about
A note to anyone who chooses to read the following: I am critiquing this book solely based on the first 80 pages or so as I simply didn't have the will to continue any further.There are some spoilers, but only for the first 80 pages.Have you ever been sitting with a group of friends and one of them tells a joke and immediately everyone but you starts laughing? And then you sit there looking like the stupefied idiot who's just not getting it? That's how I felt while reading The DUFF. So many of
