Super good. Couldn't put it down! ♥♥ A must read by an up-and-coming author. Wesley and Bianca are amazing together and their relationship is so full of sparks you can't help but swoon a little...

I am far from the age that this book was intended for. Being "older", I must say it was a great read. Bianca is a great main character and the book was very hard to put down. Throughly enjoyed it!!!

I LOVE this book! I needed a distraction from reading this other book because that one was good too, and this was perfect! I couldn't put it down. The banter between the two were hilarious, and the novel flowed at the perfect pace. The parts that I liked best was near the end because Wesley was soooo sweet at the end and I loved it. I can't wait for the author's next book, I really hope it will be just as good as this one :)

I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome this book is! Bianca is a very relate able, funny, real character, and it was very easy to connect with her. I also really enjoyed her sense of humor, especially with Wesley. The subjects of alcoholism and divorce are also common problems many people have to deal with and can easily relate to. The ending was a really awesome conclusion to this book and left me smiling. This author is only 18 years old, so she knows what exactly goes on in high school, as compared to a middle aged woman writing teen fiction. I look forward to reading more books from this author! I would recommend this book for older teens and young adults due to the cussing and sexual nature of the story.

Life isn’t exactly a dream for Bianca Piper but it gets nightmarish for the seventeen-year-old when her dad gets served divorce papers by her always absent mom and he breaks his eighteen years of sobriety. Bianca is ashamed and saddened by her home life and does her best to conceal it from her two best friends Casey and Jessica. Suddenly the one person she finds herself drawn to is Wesley Rush, the arrogant womanizer that had the nerve to nickname her Duffy, based on her being the “designated ugly fat friend” compared to Casey and Jessica. The nickname stings, but spending time with one of the hottest guys in school makes Bianca feel like nothing else in the world matters, which provides an excellent distraction from her parent’s divorce. Wesley and Bianca initially start off as “enemies with benefits” using one another, but then Bianca finds herself falling for someone who may not be such a bad guy after all…..

"Spanish, huh?" he said, glancing down at the scattered papers as he grabbed them. "Can you say anything interesting?" "El tono de tu voz hace que queria estrangularme." I stood up and waited for him to hand over my papers. "That sounds sexy," he said, getting to his feet and handing me the stack of Spanish work he'd swept together. "What's it mean?" "The sound of your voice makes me want to strangle myself." "Kinky." —Bianca and Wesley
