Book Review : The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

Two days ago, a friend of mine recommended this book to me. At first I was skeptical about the plot line. I started reading the book at midnight as I thought that I would only read a few chapters but this book got me hooked from the first chapter and I just can't put it down. So I finish this book by 2 am and I gotta say that I LOVE this book. I feel like I can relate to this story as I feel like I am the duff with my group of friends. And I think that many girls can also relate and understand the story better as not every girl always feel so confident, sometimes they will have a low self-esteem and that is when they feel like a DUFF. And I love how the story progress, it didn't go too fast or too slow. The love story between Wesley and Bianca is amazing and it teaches us that you don't have to change to have someone to like you cause there will be someone out there who will love you for who you really are. The part where Wesley wrote the note to Bianca is so sweet and it shows that someone can change you for the better. So overall, I think this story is amazing and I would recommend you to read it.

This paragraph is gonna be filled with spoiler so if you haven't read the book I suggest you minimize the screen and start reading. And when you are finished you could come back and tell me what you think about the story. So the story is about Bianca, a girl who is not your typical perfect girl with the perfect body or the perfect hair. She is sassy and she doesn't care about what people think about her. She knows she is not the perfect girl but it was never a problem to her until one night Wesley, the school playboy talk to her and basically told her that she is the DUFF and explain why he is talking to her. His rule is that 'Wesley Rush doesn't chase girls, they chase him'. When problems at home is becoming worse with her mom asking for a divorce and her dad relapsing to alcohol, she turns to Wesley to take her mind off all of her problems. What started out as one mistake kiss turns to sex for the two of them. Bianca didn't tell her bestfriends and she sometimes ditch them to hang out with Wesley. They start to spend more and more time together. This causes her relationship with her friends to fall apart. After a while she finally realize that the everyone feels like a DUFF and even Wesley have his own problems at home, she breaks thing off with Wesley, thinking that she's only a conquest for him. And to top it all off, her longtime crush, Toby Tucker asks her out. She is happy because she thinks that he is the right guy for her. When Wesley found out about the new couple, he became angry but he also changed. He decided to make things right at home and to stop sleeping around. One day in class, Bianca got a note on her table. At first she thought it was from her bestfriend but when she opens the note she knows that it is definitely not from her best friend. The words on the notes are 'Wesley Rush doesn't chase girls, but I'm chasing you'. When her bestfriend, she and Toby went out to the famous hangout place, The Nest, Toby realized that she has feelings for Wesley and vice versa. Toby admitted that he also still have feelings for his ex and he tried to forget about her by dating Bianca. She admits her feeling for Wesley and warning him that this who she really are and that she won't change just for him. So that is kinda the overall of the book. I hope my review is good enough. I would love to hear your feedbacks and comment :D

My message to girls who feel like they're the duff is that you are not a duff alone in this world. There are many guys and girls that feels the same way as you do. So what if you are a duff ? You are you and you are amazing just the way you are. You shouldn't care about what people think about you, you should only care about opinion's from the people that care about you. To have someone to love you, YOU MUST LOVE YOURSELF FIRST ! :D So be happy and smile :)
