The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend

This was a fun read! I found Bianca to be a pretty relatable teen narrator, in terms of her attempts to be pragmatic and actually ending up pretty bitter? I also thought this love triangle scenario worked pretty well and I liked the ~lessons learned~ about friendship and body positivity. (I haven't seen the movie yet but from what I hear, the movie lost a lot of that, which is a real bummer.)

All the family, school, and relationship drama wrapped up pretty neatly and happily–a nice way for the book to end, if slightly incredulity straining? But overall, a very enjoyable teen romantic dramedy.
