E. Lockhart’s spot-on dialogue and descriptions of painfully but hilariously relatable situations make this young adult novel an addictive read. Fifteen-year-old Ruby has had a rough ten days. During that time she:     * lost her boyfriend (#13 on the list)    * lost her best friend (Kim)   * lost all her other friends (Nora, Cricket)   * did something suspicious with a boy (#10)    * did something advanced with a boy (#15)   * had an argument with a boy (#14)   * had a panic attack   * lost a lacrosse game (she's the goalie)   * failed a math test (she'll make it up)   * hurt Meghan's feelings (even though they aren't really friends)   * became a social outcast (no one to sit with at lunch)   * had graffiti written about her in the girls' bathroom (who knows what was in the   boys'!?!)But don't worry—Ruby lives to tell the tale. And make more lists.
