Review: The Duff - Kody Keplinger

-

On the lookout for a new teen read ? Something fun and light-hearted , that has references to one of my favourite books "Wuthering Heights"?

Review: The DUFF - Kody Keplinger - September 2010
I'd had this book on my to-read list for a while and I had been tossing and turning and umming and aahing over whether I should read it and is it a me book. To my surprise, I loved it so much and once I got stuck into the book I actually could not put the story down.In The DUFF , we meet Bianca - she is one of three friends . Her two friends Jessica and Casey, are the girls every guy wants to date and Bianca , she is their sidekick. She hasn't ever thought much about being the third wheel , until one night they are out and Wesley - the school's playboy calls her The Duff - the Designated Ugly Fat Friend . According to him every friend has somebody known as the Duff, someone who isn't as pretty as they are, thin as they are etc. Annoyed at Wesley, she kisses him in the spur of the moment. Still seething with hate, she finds herself paired with him on a school project and from there a forbidden no-strings attached romance occurs. As the novel goes along, we read about their romance, Bianca's way of escaping from reality but what happens though when the guy she actually has a crush on becomes single and is interested in Bianca - it's goodbye Wesley and Hello Toby Tucker. When Toby asks Bianca to read Wuthering Heights, she never realised that this was the one book that would forever change the rest of her high school life as she starts to link her current life's statuses to the characters of Wuthering Heights. Herself, as Catherine ,Wesley as Heathcliff and Toby as Edward.  Can you meet your one true soul mate in High School ? Can you find love even if you are the DUFF of your friendship.  
Find out all this and more in The Duff by Kody Keplinger , a novel that will surprise you with it's power to pull you in.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
