Young adult novel for teenage girls, so I had to read it, of course. The sequel to The Boyfriend Book, I know I enjoyed it, but I don't remember a thing about it. Not a great sign.

Loved this, as I loved the first Roo book (The Boyfriend List). Wonderful, funny, true voice. I am particularly impressed by how Ruby can be so flawed and human and do things I (and she herself, most of the time) know are wrong, and yet I completely believe it. And it just makes the moments when she does the right thing all the more sweet and endearing.

Have I mentioned yet that I love character development? Especially the kind that leads to healthy, non competitive behavior between girl friends and deeper accepting understanding of self for all parties of those friendships? Because I so do. I dislike the vague slutshaming, but even that has gone down significantly in this installment of Ruby Oliver's story.

It was a quick and easy read - funny at places, but mostly thought provoking. The story deals with Roo - a sixteen year old girl who goes through a bad period of isolation by friends, boy friend issues, heart break etc. which causes her lots of anguish necessitating psychological help. The story goes on to show how she deals with her issues. There is a lot about attraction between the sexes, the whole book is almost obsessed with making out and boys.

Flew through this in one afternoon. No one on the planet writes teenagers better than E. Lockhart.

Ruby Oliver is hilarious... Even in her moments of disgrace. In fact, even more in such moments. A perfect series to read when you're feeling down and need a laugh. Or whenever, really.

I loved the first book so much I immediately picked up the second to read right away. That should mean something enough for you!
Jokes aside, I laughed out loud at the snarky catcalling comebacks. Quality disses!
