Book description
Beauty really does lie in the eye of the beholder...
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is smart, cynical, loyal - and well
aware that she's not the hot one in her group of friends. But when
high-school jock and all round moron Wesley Rush tells her she's a
DUFF - a Designated, Ugly Fat Friend - Bianca does not the see funny
side. She may not be a beauty but she'd never stoop so low as to go
anywhere near the likes of Wesley ... Or would she? Bianca is about to
find out that attraction defies looks and that sometimes your sworn
enemies can become your best friends ... With a wry and
tell-it-like-it-is voice, The Duff is a witty and poignant
story of a teenager struggling with the rules of high school
attraction, along with the breaking down of her relationships with
family and friends. It is a novel about what it means to be sexy, in a
world where we feel we have to be perfect!
Kody Keplinger wrote THE DUFF when she was just seventeen years old,
while she was at high school in the USA. She says she thinks there is a
little bit of the duff in all of us, and somebody needed to talk about
it!
