SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD BIANCA PIPER may not be the prettiest girl in her high school, but she has a loyal group of friends, a biting wit, and a spot-on BS detector. She's also too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush, who calls Bianca the Duff- the designated ugly fat friend- of her crew.
 
But things aren't so great at home and Bianca, desperate for a distraction, 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 then anyone.
