I enjoyed this story even more than the first. I donlt know if this is because this one is sligtly less soul shatteringly empethetically depressing or because our heroien, Ruby, isn't so irriating when it comes to descion making. She also doesn't whine as much; althougt there is some whining involved but give her a break it's teen angst. Mostly I think I liked reading this book more because it follows more of a strict pattern and time line. With Roo #1 she seemed to jump around from past to "present" to future wthin her narrative. In the Boy Book she follows more of a strict retative pattern with her story. It starts with an entry from the real boy book that has relavance to the chapter then goes on telling her story n order with a few back stories and te occasional nutshelling of key events from the last book. And to my great appreciation Ruby never got ahead of herself in her story like she used to.
over all I truly enjoyed reading this book. Found the style, writing, and plot of this book to altogether superior to the previous Ruby Oliver book. I look forward to reading the next few aswell.

Just as original and uniquely funny as [book: The Boyfriend List]! Can't wait for "Roo 3"!

E. lockhart I have to say I like you, I really do. I first heard of you when I read The Disreputable History of Frankie landau-banks. if there is one thing you nail is the neourtic, feminist, confused teenage girl. I love Ruby Oliver even if at times I don't like her...if that makes sense. in many ways I wish I had been more like her in highschool but I also think my head would have exploded with all the constant noise that Ruby has in her head.
I love the growth in which the reader gets to see Ruby experience. she still has a shit ton of growing to do, but in the end she figures out a few things and it was cool to read.
So E. Lockhart I like you and I will continue on your journies of head strong, intelligent, neourtic, female characters as long as you keep on writing about them.

I enjoyed these books a lot more when I was still in high school. Now they just seem a little dull.

Dette er anden bog i serien om Ruby Oliver.
Vi følger med i hendes liv, hvor nu prøver på at komme sig over de værste dage i hendes liv (bog 1)
Hun lider af angst anfald, og har mistet alle sine venner.
Hun finder nye venner i Meghan og Noel.
Bogen er underholdene, med små fodnoter undervejs, og føles meget life-like.

Read enough to know it's very similar to the first book. Ruby Oliver is a likeable, flawed character. A good bet for young readers looking to connect with a modern teen but not looking for dystopia, violence, drugs, etc.

While the same witty narrator was back from THE BOYFRIEND LIST, I was over all a little disappointed in this follow up. I thought it was cut short and didn't tell as complete of a story.
