Dominika's Reading Challenge

I have some mixed feelings about this book. I really enjoyed the first part of the book, I thought I'd give it five stars - but I quite hated the second part. I didn't like almost any of the characters. Finally I decided to give this book four stars, because I think that generally it was a fun read, but I'm not sure if I'll try reading any other book by this author in the future. It's a story of a 17-year-old Bianca, who has some serious issues - her parents are getting divorced, her father has a drinking problem and her friends are much prettier and more popular that she is. She feels the ugly duckling of the group and being called the DUFF - the designated ugly fat friend - by the most popular boy at school doesn't help. To stop thinking about all of this Bianca gets into a strictly sexual relationship with Wesley and, obviously, fells in love with him. Bianca's parents are horrible. Her mother is a joke - always absent, she just sends her husband...

It seems easy enough - a book set in high school. I've read hundreds of books set in high schools. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of them, because they are too dramatic and emotional for me, but there are some I really enjoyed.  I thought about a few books, but most of them have some paranormal elements, and I didn't want it. So finally I decided to read: The DUFF by Kody Keplinger I heard a lot about it, both good and bad, but I really hope it's going to be cool :) We'll see!
