"I couldn’t help but wonder if she’d been running away from something, too. If I’d been judging her, thinking of her as a slut all this time when, in reality, we were living scarily similar lives. Calling Vikki a slut or a whore was just like calling someone the Duff. It was insulting and hurtful, and it was one of those titles that just fed off of an inner fear every girl must have from time to time. Slut, bitch, prude, tease, ditz. They were all the same. Every girl felt like one of these sexist labels described her at some point. So, maybe, every girl felt like the Duff, too?"

I recently finished The Duff and couldn't resist using one of the quotes for my Thursday Quotables. It's such an inspiring book on so many levels, and with so many morals to take from it that you just can't help but like it.

Bianca is like every school girl and isn't necessarily stereotypical in a bad way, she goes through ups and downs, has insecurities and learns lots about herself and others throughout the course of the book.

I don't really need to explain anything about this quote as it pretty much speaks for itself, and that's what makes this book so wonderful.
