This series just continues to amaze me. Ruby Oliver is back at Tate for another year: a year where she is wiser from her continual appointments with Doctor Z, more independent (although she would tell you this is a result of her being a "leper" the previous year), and armed with The Boy Book. In The...

I read this quickly a few weeks ago! I really enjoyed it but I needed a break before finishing the last two.

Another great installment of the fantastic Ruby Oliver series. I tend to be weary of sequels to books I love because often times they don't live up to the high expectations set by the first book.

Also appears on The Screaming Nitpicker.Now a junior at prestigious Tate Prep, Ruby is slightly less of a leper than she was the previous year. She has a good friend in Noel and Nora is her friend again too (but not Cricket or Kim). Her new school year starts off with a bang as Nora's hooters get a ...

Re-read.Again, Lockhart's dead on. I identify with Ruby, I love the premise, and the execution leaves me with no complaints. The machinations of high school girls ring true. It would have been easy for this story to get overblown or maudlin, but in Lockhart's hand it remains funny but wincingly real...
