Summary (Goodreads):
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn’t think she’s the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She’s also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her “the Duff,” she throws her Coke in his face.

But things aren’t so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She ends up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with him.
Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn’t such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she’s falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

Update!!:
So I watch the movie Saturday (April 11th) and OMG I loved the movie so much more than the book! So if you like me didn't like the book definitely go watch the movie because it was nothing like the book ;D!
 
Book review:
2.5 stars -> 1 star for Jess & Casey, 1.5 star for Wesley ;)
Okay.... Bianca annoyed the hell out of me! - God I wanted to hit her all the freaking time! And what's worst she already knew she was fucked up!. Plus I really hatred how she treated her friends! I could go on and on how much I dislike her - but am getting mad just by thinking about her....
Wesley on the other hand - I liked A LOT! ;D and Bianca's best friends Jess and Casey - they were really sweet! :D

I never thought I would say this but - I REALLY hope the movie is going to be a lot better than the book itself! :D
