The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend

280 pp. | Little/Poppy | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-08423-9 $16.99
(4) YA Bianca is insulted when womanizing Wesley calls her a DUFF (designated ugly fat friend) but she nevertheless begins having sex with him. Though she tells herself Wesley's just a distraction from her parents' impending divorce, Bianca ends up falling for him. The characters lack subtlety (especially the parents), but Bianca's biting sarcasm sets the story a notch above the ordinary teen romance.
