Now a major motion picture! An irreverent and irresistible New York Times bestselling romance between the so-called Designated Ugly Fat Friend and the Hot Jock. Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper may not be the prettiest girl in her high school, but she has a loyal group of friends, a biting wit, and a spot-on BS detector. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush, who calls Bianca the Duff--the Designated Ugly Fat Friend--of her crew.But things aren't so great at home and Bianca, desperate for a distraction, 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.

"i remember loving the duff when i was younger. i remember heavily relating to bianca’s character as a fat teenager growing up, and feeling like i was always the last on every list, but after rereading this book i absolutely hate the fact that it falls into every harmful trope in the book…. but also enemies to lovers"

"Yes! The upside of falling "

"It totally depends on my mood I am a big audio book listener for work. Everything from Rainbow Rowell, Sarah j Mass, Marissa Meyer, Holly Black, the tourist attraction by Sarah morgenthaler, never where by Neil garment, the house in the cerulean sea by TJ Klune. To name a few "

"this book was my literal fav for years, I read it like 4 times… so so good (THE MOVIE IS ALSO AMAZING)"

Serena

"A solid three star book for me. A genuinely enjoyable book with a pretty good message. At first, I was on the fence just because there's a lot of **** shaming and cutting other girls down, and I thought it really was undermining the message of the book. Thankfully, though, our main character ultimately learns how to think better of herself and others and the book is better for it.<br/>Besides, I love a good enemies to lovers trope and this one did it pretty well. Has solid rereadability too which is always important to me when rating. Overall, it was a fun ride."
