Reviews
Praise for The DUFF [A] well-written, irreverent, and heartfelt debut. Publishers Weekly
Kudos to the 18-year-old Keplinger for writing a heroine whose complicated relationship with sex is honest and heartbreaking. This for-more-mature teens novel deftly illustrates how even consensual sex can be emotionally destructive, and captures thoughts about self-image and the many different types of relationships. Expect to be recommending THE DUFF to friends for years to come. Romantic Times
