YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Mei and I are going to read The Duff on the 9th of June,Sunday.
Feel free to join us.

Woah,it was really a quick read.Just took me a hour and a half to finish this.
Have you started Mei?

Wow you're incredibly fast!! That's how short it is? I'll start in a few minutes.

I am getting back on track I guess:)I am making up for May since I didn't read much last month.
The book was awesome.I can't wait to know what you feel about it.

I'm only at 28%. wow. so much for being disgusted at Wesley and instead of doing a project, ending up w/ having sex.

I love Wesley!!! ♥

86% - When Toby & Bianca started dating I was totally shipping the two of them! But Jessica was right, there are no sparks. It's obvious that as much as Bianca wanted to hate hin, she can't. And as Wesley may appear a man whore, he seemed very concerned about Bianca, in case another situation involving physical abuse may occur. He actually fcking cares what it may result to, AGAIN.

As for Mr. Piper, (view spoiler)[I am really happy that he apologized ("a million times") to Bianca, and that he was determined not to get drunk again or repeat what he had done to her. Somehow, he slowly accepts the divorce. And I feel bad for him. Hes an ideal type of a dad, despite not being so affectionate or showy. (hide spoiler)]

I'm also starting to see the bright side of Casey & Jessica. THEY ARE GREAT FRIENDS, even though they appear slutty because they go to clubs.

They didn't ditch Bianca or judged for her actions, and they were very supportive & respectable of her decisions & her happiness. They didn't push her to explaining things further. Or throw at her face how she used to forgot about them for a while. They have forgotten about it eventually & knew better than to argue. They'll know if something is bugging her and remind her she can talk them into it.

And knowing how Casey & Bianca became friends w/ Jessica was truly heartwarming. I was wrong when I thought of them as just dragging Bianca along w/ them at the bars, because she obviously doesn't like there and has no choice. Something like a slave. I love their friendship.

So far what I just didn't like at this moment was the sex 3-4 times a week. seriously!!! -_- I am just really glad the protagonist isn't a Mary Sue or else I might have put this down.

Wesley Rush doesn't chase girls, (view spoiler)[BUT I'M CHASING YOU. (hide spoiler)]

My gas!!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally squealed! Oh gaaaaahd. Lolsorry. Hahahaha! :D

Do not read above the line, it contains spoilers! Lol! ;)

Jodie and I will read this on Friday, July 12.
Feel free to join!

Okay so I started this last night and I am liking it so far. (view spoiler)[ I can't believe that Wesley went up to Bianca in the club and out right told her that she was a DUFF and that he was using her as a means to get to her hot friends. How could he actually say that to her?

I am glad she threw the drink in his face and left but I wish she would have told Casey and Jessica. It would have been an embarrassing conversation but they are so good to her and don't judge her. They could have been support for her. It would be really hard to have to go to school and see Wesley every day after that. (hide spoiler)]

So Bianca has said over and over in the book how much Casey has been there for her and never left her after all these years. I don't really understand how or why Bianca shuts Casey out. (view spoiler)[ It was not a surprise that her mom filed for divorce but why wouldn't she turn to Casey? Even though she was upfront with Wesley and said she was using him to distract her from something, how can she do that? I don't think it is ever okay to use someone like that. And how could she sleep with someone who calls her Duffy? That doesn't make any sense to me, unless because it is an ego boost that someone as good looking as Wesley is willing to have sex with her. I still don't get it though. It makes me wonder if she ever really hated him to start with, or if she just said she did because she thought he was too good looking to ever be interested in her.

To turn to Wesley when she found out about the divorce and when her dad started drinking again is mean to her friends, especially when she started opening up and talking to him. Why could she open up to Wesley but not her friends? (hide spoiler)]

Okay now Bianca is just being a bag to her friends. She has completely shut out the people who are always there for her. She doesn't even see them anymore. How can she not see why Casey is so angry? I know when I am being a B to people.

(view spoiler)[ Okay that part when her dad came home drunk and Wesley was over was pretty intense. The fact that Wesley took charge like that and brought her home with him was really nice. It makes me wonder if he is really the "player" that his reputation makes him out to be. He is actually there for her emotionally, which is what she needs.

I think it was so dumb for her to end it with Wesley. She opened up to him about her parents and about her father, why not just talk about her feelings for him. Just because she was the one who ended it, doesn't mean that it won't hurt her to end it. She really wasn't protecting herself by doing that..then it said that Wesley tried to talk to her a few times after English class but she blew him off. She is quite immature and kind of a B...Hmmm going on a date with Toby..that's interesting. Again she is using him to forget Wesley. (hide spoiler)] I am almost finished the book. I am not really liking Bianca right now but I know that she is being quite typical of a young girl. It is hard to talk about feelings and take chances but I don't know...just not liking her much right now.

Because of that, I didn't feel the insta love for Wesley, he's too blunt for a guy. :)

I'm thinking that she started to trust Wesley more than her friends. I totally understand her in some way, sometimes it's easier to open up to stangers. :)

He is too blunt and for a while just seems slimy. I don't understand (view spoiler)[ how she can go and sleep with someone she believes is sleeping with everyone in the whole school. She appeared to hate him at the beginning of the book for that and judged all the girls who would fall for his charm. (hide spoiler)] He has for sure grown on me though. I still have some reading to do.

I guess I do agree that is can be easier to be more open with strangers. Do you know who I really enjoy in the book? The bartender at the club. He is so nice and pretty insightful.

Okay (view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed watching Bianca go through the struggles of finding out what she really wanted and what made her happy. I really didn't like all of her assumptions of Wesley, assuming that he would never really like her and that he could never change, but I understand that she is a teenager, insecure and communication is not always a strong point. I was glad that Toby also was using Bianca to try to get over his ex because I felt bad that she was using him to forget about Wesley. I am glad it was an easy break. I was happy in the end that she ended up with Wesley. I liked him in the end. They both really grew a lot and discovered a lot about themselves. (hide spoiler)]

Can a mod change this to march 4th please?
