So I accidentally read this in one sitting. It's all the enjoyable kinds of wrong with some anti-slut-bashing thrown in for balance. Bianca feels like the unpretty one in her circle of high school friends. When her family life becomes heavy, she turns to sex with the bad boy as a way of escaping reality. It's a clique parade but was very fun to read. Reading it at the same time as I Am Not a Slut: Slut-Shaming in the Age of the Internet, I saw some of the same themes repeated. However, I'd be more likely to recommend I am Not a Slut to students rather than The DUFF since the fictional story fails to address the fairytale-like nature of the ending. Oh, the preppy and emo references feel dated...but from my era, so I went with it.
