Sharp, hot, thoughtful, and searingly honest, The Duff is one of the best young adult novels to come along in a decade. - Elizabeth Scott, US author of the The Unwritten Rule.
Edgy and compelling. I couldn’t put it down! - Simon Elkeles, New York Times best-selling authorA well written, irreverent, and heartfelt debut. - Publishers WeeklyRealistic, yet innocent at the same time. - Serendipity ReviewsCompulsive reading, with a sassy heroine you’ll find yourself rooting for against all odds. - We Love This BookAn earthy, realistic and compelling depiction of teenage relationships and self-image. - booktrustAn interesting and enjoyable read. - Teen TitlesKeplinger breathed some new life into the now horribly cliched idea of the love triangle by writing realistically flawed characters. - South Wales Evening Post (Swansea)About The Author

‘I always felt like the “ugly girl” in high school - my best friends are insanely gorgeous - so when I was introduced to the word during my senior year, I knew I was the Duff. The idea of writing a book with “Duff” in the title started as a joke, but when I realized that my friends felt like Duffs, too, I knew I had to write this story.’
The DUFF is now a major motion picture starring Bella Thorne, Mae Whitman and Alison Janney.
