I have no interest in reading The DUFF but I'm glad you tried it!

How's that for confusing? And the movie came out last year, I think. It is VERY different from the book and very funny. I'm not sure I can recommend this, so I'll leave that up to you.

I would definitely not say it is "great," but is nice to pull out for an easy, entertaining read. The misunderstanding and misinterpretation of feminism is what really got me.

And you're exactly right, Bianca was SO rude to her best friends, completely ignoring them for a boy she didn't even like. There's so much drama. I can't imagine real life being like that. And the movie was very funny!

It's less serious, more of a comedy. I don't think I can even relate them, other than the word DUFF.

I didn't even know it existed until they mentioned it to me on a group chat. xD But I already knew when I checked it out on Goodreads that it definitely wasn't for me. I was surprised to know that it's quite famous and it's apparently going to be a movie(? Or it already is?). I was thinking of reading it sometime just to know why it's so famous, but now, I don't think it'll be worth my time anymore. :/<br /><br />Great review, Erin!Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551640427536370759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-56658903453797634772016-03-05T15:28:24.598-05:002016-03-05T15:28:24.598-05:00Hmm.

I've been thinking about reading it for a while now (I've heard great things about the book and the movie), but now I'm definitely going to leave it on the backburner for a while. I REALLY dislike unrealistic portrayals of high school, and a misunderstanding of feminism in a book that's supposed to be progressive? No thanks. I'm glad you liked it anyway, but I think I'd rather stick with something that's fun without so many drawbacks.

Bianca was ...A 100% agree with everything you said. Bianca was such a hypocrite, yet she had some redeeming qualities and, at the end of the day, I accepted her. What annoyed me the most about her is what horrible things she could think about HER OWN BEST FRIENDS. I think the novel is WAAY overhyped: the writing is okay at its best, the characters are not the most well-developed and the story is super-melodramatic at parts. It was a fun read, though, but I enjoyed the movie more, however surprising that sounds. The actors did a great job and it was funnier. :)Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-49096360246072517102016-03-05T11:36:25.037-05:002016-03-05T11:36:25.037-05:00"Yes, he's a tool" - I don't kno..."Yes, he's a tool" - I don't know why, but I think 'tool' is such a good insult. It makes me laugh. Though whilst we're on the topic of insults, calling someone a 'designated ugly fat friend' seems very harsh!<br />My friends have said they really liked the movie adaptation, but I haven't seen it... or read it... it does seem like one of those books where you have to embrace its flaws in order to enjoy it. I'm glad you kinda liked it?! <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-65903362954644428482016-03-05T06:21:48.372-05:002016-03-05T06:21:48.372-05:00Mm, I don't think this is the book for me!

I'm honestly so picky about my characters haha xD And I don't think I enjoyed Shut Out by Kody Keplinger as well...<br />But yeah, do you think you'll still see the movie after reading the book? :) Geraldine @ Corralling Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736170042008371323noreply@blogger.com
