Kody Keplinger writes contemporary young adult fiction about school, friendship, dating and teenagers resisting the labels other people give them. The DUFF follows Bianca Piper after a classmate calls her the 'designated ugly fat friend', leading to a complicated relationship with Wesley Rush and a broader reassessment of friendship and self-image. Shut Out reworks elements of classical sex-strike stories around rival school sports teams, while A Midsummer's Nightmare begins with an unexpected summer reunion between two teenagers whose parents are about to marry. Keplinger's books are quick, candid and dialogue-led, with romance mixed with friendship and family conflict. They fit contemporary YA romance, school fiction and body-image or identity-centred coming-of-age stories. Read more Less
