The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch, Gideon—and me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart
3.0
I have been waiting forever for this book at the library! I guess it was good thing to have a bit of a break between Ruby's neuroses, because sometimes she can get a bit repetitive.
I enjoyed this third installment. There was much less about Jackson (and the 'finale' of that relationship was quite satisfying. Bout time.) and more Noel. I liked Ruby taking charge of some parts of her life: getting her new job, getting her old job, the bake sale (ugh, marshmallows ARE nasty) and her frank talk with Nora, to an extent.
Sidenote: Ruby's mentions of Rabbit Fever kept reminding me of Georgina Nicholson's Red-Bottomosity.
I loved the little insight into Dr. Z's personal life and Ruby's 'internal' conversation at her one therapy session when she wants to question Dr. Z on what she saw.

Spoiler
(Did Nora really like Noel first? I mean, maybe Ruby wasn't crazy about him right away, but I feel like she's been 'aware' of him for awhile, whereas Nora didn't know him well until the three started hanging out. I could be wrong. But that part irked me when Nora was all, I've liked him way longer than you!)Sidenote: Ruby's mentions of Rabbit Fever kept reminding me of Georgina Nicholson's Red-Bottomosity.
