Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
An irreverent and irresistible New York Times bestselling romance between the so-called Designated Ugly Fat Friend and the Hot Jock.
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 way 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 than anyone.

“No puedo creer la cantidad de veces que leí: z0rr4, p*t4, y otros descriptivos.
Es una novela totalmente cliché, y al mismo tiempo odiosa. Bianca, la protagonista, es el típico estereotipo de: única y diferente, que estaba de moda en el 2010 (año en que se escribió la novela), pero al mismo tiempo eso hace que se tan molesta y fastidiosa. Que esté repitiendo todo el tiempo: eso no va conmigo porque yo soy inteligente y no tan superficial, fastidia.
No conecté con ninguna personaje. Sé que son adolescentes, pero tampoco es para sean tan inmaduros y simplistas. Me hubiera gustado que les dieran otro giro, un aire un poco más madura, que se dieran cuenta de sus errores y recapacitaran más sobre ello.
Regreso al punto del inicio; la forma en cómo describe a ciertas personas, actitudes y a su mismo cuerpo, si bien denotan a una adolescente inmadura, llega a fastidiar cuando lo hace tan seguido.
Y luego, el final todo aguado, simplista e insípido. 0/10
¿Me arrepiento de haberlo leído? Definitivamente.”
