The boy troubles of Ruby (The Boy Book, The Boyfriend List) aren't nearly over. Her hard-earned social redemption is at risk when her ex (the source of her original problems) becomes single again and her crush (if only her best friend didn't like him too!) makes a move. Lockhart's story boasts zingy humor, sigh-worthy guys, and vivid depictions of friendship and angst.
