A review by ellarose73
The Boy Book by E. Lockhart

3.0

I decided to give this book three stars because it was lovely to see the progression Ruby has made from book 1 to book 2. Sometimes in the first book she would be too judgemental of people that are trying to survive high school until college and I felt that, while she does say “I’d only have Meghan”, she does develop into a more likeable and understanding person. I, of course, hated Kim and Jackson and still very much do at the end of this book and it was nice for Ruby to understand that just because she had been with a particular group of friends for a long time, does not mean they are any better than those she can meet or start to get to know in her junior year of high school. It was not even 200 pages, but we saw her start to be more independent and surround herself with people that would make her happy, as well as figuring out who she wants to share her body to romantically as these are things teens start to think about.

Super cute read in the series but because it was so short it lacked a major plot. 3/5
