So over the past several months, THE DUFF has made it's debut in a few different countries. And I thought it might be fun to share some covers with you! So here's what THE DUFF is like abroad.
GERMANY
I just found this one when I stumbled across it the other day. Sexy times! Of the foreign covers, it's probably my favorite. And the title translates to "Because Of Love." I'm not sure exactly how that relates to the story, but I wish I could read German to get a better idea! It's out January 2013, I believe.
CROATIA
The Croatian cover was the first I saw. The novel released there in June, 2012 (the first foreign edition!) and the cover is just so different from the ones we see in the US! Can't help but love it. "KRPA" actually means "Patch" in Croatian. But the K, R, and P form an acronym that comes out to "Big Ugly Friend." Sorry, Croatians! "Patch" is now synonymous with "Big Ugly Friend" I guess.
TAIWAN/Complex Chinese
Too cute, right? I actually have a few of these on my bookshelf. I wish I could translate some of the cover, but I have no Chinese skillz. Either way, this is freaking adorable.
The DUFF has also been released in the UK, and while the overall jacket is different (and AWESOME) the cover is basically the same, so I won't share it here. But how cool is this? People are reading my book in other countries! In other languages! It BLOWS MY MIND, Y'ALL!!!!
What do you think of the foreign covers? Which is your favorite? Also, what are some of your favorite foreign covers of other books? I want to know!

They look awesome!! Congratulations! I totally plan on reading the German version when it comes out! :)
Congrats! Very cool to see these. I like the German cover too just with Bianca was a little more curvy on the cover. All are great though.

I love the Croatia cover! (I just had to ask my dad where it was, lol) because it's kinda vintage-y if that makes any sense? :) And the Taiwan one is just plain adorable, the one I'm not really feeling is the Germany. Probably because the book is just so light and fun to read and the cover's so dark.
Such a big accomplishment though, Congratulations Kody! :)
I like the German cover...it's very cinematic.
soooo awesome! congrats miss keplinger!
i have to say the croatian one in my fave. i like how the gal looks like she could have some weight on her, but is still beautiful. just like in the novel, it's all about perception. :)
Love the German cover! Btw, it doesn't translate into Because of Love. It would rather be something like: Love? As if!
So it probably fits your book quite well. :)

by the way,i like the cover,too.

Such a big accomplishment though, Congratulations Kody! :)
