Will Ruby ever control her panic attacks?Will she ever understand boys?Will she ever stop making lists?(No to that last one.) Roo has lost most of her friends.

The Ruby Oliver books are the record of her survival.

4.5 starsI will miss Ruby Oliver for she has brought me many laughs and deeper-than-expected thoughts on life and love.
