Okay, I"m almost done with THE DUFF, and I'd really like to have a beta look at it. Fresh eyes, you know? With the beta's comments in mind, I'll go back and edit it before passing through the gates of query hell. Below I'll post the query so you can tell what it's about.
Seventeen-year-old Bianca knows she’s the duff (the designated, ugly, fat friend). So when Wesley, a notorious womanizer, approaches her at a party she knows he wants to score with one—or both—of her hot friends. The man-whore’s arrogance really pisses her off, but Bianca wants to escape from some personal drama, like her mom’s abandonment and her dad’s denial, so a steamy fling with Wesley seems like the perfect distraction. Bianca makes it clear she’s only using Wesley, not that he minds. He’ll sleep with anything that moves after all. Unfortunately, the enemies-with-benefits plan totally backfires.
When Bianca’s mom files for divorce and her father is sent into a downward spiral of drinking and depression, Wesley proves to be a surprisingly good listener, and she finds out that his family is pretty screwed up, too. His cocky grin starts to grow on her, and she realizes—with absolute horror—that she’s falling for the guy she thought she hated.
It's full of bad words and sex, so if you're easily offended, this isn't the thing to beta. For those of you who are more liberal and want a good laugh, the book is loaded with fun sarcasm.
I need someone who can beta kind of quickly--or at least can send me back a chapter at a time so I can start my editing as soon as possible. I'll be ready to send out the MS to a beta on Monday morning, so if you're interested send me a PM.
Thanks!
