Book Reviews
The DUFF.
I loved this book, this was actually my first time reading a book without pictures, and I finished it. I actually read this when I was 10, annd didn't know what was the DUFF about, I just decided I wanted to read a book first, before watching the movie, so that's now how I do it and I love it. So, 17-year-old Bianca Piper, is cynical and loyal and she doesn’t think she’s the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She’s also way too smart to fall for the charms of slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her “the Duff,” she throws her Coke in his face.
Falling back on rule two and surrounding herself with new friends in the art club, Peppi still can't help feeling ashamed about the way she treated Jaime. Things are already awkward enough between the two, but to make matters worse, he's a member of her own club's archrivals--the science club! And when the two clubs go to war, Peppi realizes that sometimes you have to break the rules to survive middle school! (less)

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. It was a super good book and really realistic.

Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova
On her first day at her new school, Penelope--Peppi--Torres reminds herself of some basics. But when she trips into a quiet boy in the hall, Jaime Thompson, she's already broken the first rule, and the mean kids start calling her the "nerder girlfriend." How does she handle this crisis? By shoving poor Jaime and running away!
