Her mom is totally overprotective, her dad is nonexistent, and her best friends can’t help her now when she needs them most: Out of the blue, Ruthie has fallen in love with the boy next door, Perry. Perry has suddenly grown up and made her heart go thwang, and Ruthie has no idea what to do about it. Then a new girl shows up at school, and Ruthie realizes she has to do something, and fast. Jenna is perfect, from her perfectly straight hair to her perfectly manicured toes. Perry’s noticed her, too, and worse, Jenna has noticed him right back. Ruthie knows she has to call her aunt, New York’s “Goddess of Love.” If Aunt Marty, romance columnist and woman of the world, can’t turn Ruthie into a perfect girl, no one can . . . but she might also turn Ruthie’s entire world upside down.

"I was surprised at how quickly I went through this novel. It was a cute story about the importance of family, and how we do take advantage of those we love most without realizing it. I was a bit skeptical before reading but I'm glad that I gave the book a try." — Jeannette (4 out of 5 stars)

" the ending surprised me..(i mean a LOT ! ) it was so sweet ... i thought it won't be a happy ending to RUTHIE but it was awesome ! really nice :)) "
" This was cuteness overload, seriously. "
" I love youth fiction but this one was a little juvenile, even for me. But, I bet if I was 12, I would have loved this book and re-read it a million times and put it under my pillow at night to help me dream about the book. "
" I thought this book was good but not one of the best books i have ever read. I like how this book had a deeper meaning other then a teen love story. This was a story about family and about having confidence in yourself even though you can make a lot of mistakes. "
" I think this said pretty cool things for girls. And some good advice. Pretty cute book. Didn't like the friends liking each other part. But I liked that they found out they didn't like each other like that. Cute story! I enjoyed the advice given in this. "
" this book is a must read :D "
" The book to me, was very good. Best book I have read yet. I can really relate to what Ruthie went through with the Perry problem. The book will even help me on my problems whenever I have some. "
" It was pretty good and I could sort of relate to the main character, Ruthie Bayer. "
" Not so good. Not a good title for the book's focus; I'd even go so far as to say it's darn boring. The reader (listening to it on CD) is pretty awful. "
" Better than Serious Kiss, but not much. One-dimensional, unbelievable characters whose hopes and dreams I don't care about. "
" This is a wonderfull, fun story. I was just looking for a light laugh, and got drawn into a intricate story that lacey all ages. Special! "
" didnt really keep you interested. i think it was a little young for me. I was 14 at the time. "
" This book is okay not the best, but okay. "
" I loved this book because it wasn't clique and the end was unexpected "
" Soooo bad! Wouldnt even give it one star, really! If i could id give it a quarter of a star! "
" Didn't enjoy much at all. "
" Forgettable. The audio borders on annoying. "
