REVIEW: The Duff by Kody Keplinger

JohnB- Reviewsopposites attract / sexual-encounters / Ugly heroine / Young-Adult7 Comments

Dear Ms. Hart, Elle Kavanagh wears only black and white. She counts things — not just money at her prestigious accounting job, but also stars, marbles, ceiling tiles. She buys her boss’s wife candy to assuage her guilt for sleeping with him years before. She has been celibate for three ... more >
