From E. Lockhart, author of the highly acclaimed, New York Times bestseller We Were Liars, which John Green called "utterly unforgettable," comes The Boy Book, the second book in the uproarious and heartwarming Ruby Oliver novels. Here is how things stand at the beginning of newly-licensed driver Ruby Oliver's junior year at Tate Prep: • Kim: Not speaking. But far away in Tokyo. • Cricket: Not speaking. • Nora: Speaking--sort of. Chatted a couple times this summer when they bumped into each other outside of school--once shopping in the U District, and once in the Elliot Bay Bookstore. But she hadn't called Ruby, or anything. • Noel: Didn't care what anyone thinks. • Meghan: Didn't have any other friends. • Dr. Z: Speaking. • And Jackson. The big one. Not speaking. But, by Winter Break, a new job, an unlikely but satisfying friend combo, additional entries to The Boy Book and many difficult decisions help Ruby to see that there is, indeed, life outside the Tate Universe.

"Thoroughly enjoyed it! E. Lockhart has to go on my favorite authors list now. I honestly don't remember the last time I finished a book so quickly. Granted it was less than 200 pages long, but I still tend to take my time with books regardless of length. But this one? ONE SCHOOL DAY and I'm done."
— Sara (5 out of 5 stars)
" Better than the first one. "
— Roshanak, 2/19/2014" I liked this even better than the first book in the series. The Ruby Oliver books are light-hearted and very funny! "
— mstan, 2/4/2014" Just as original and uniquely funny as The Boyfriend List! Can't wait for "Roo 3"! "
— CaitlÃn, 2/4/2014" am I addicted? Why, yes. Yes, I am. I'M ADDICTED. THAT'S WHAT I AM. "
— Dayse, 1/30/2014" funny but not as good as the first 1 "
— Clare, 1/6/2014" good book i like the first better!! "
— GRUMPY, 1/1/2014" The Boy Book is not your average sequel. In fact, I think I enjoyed it more than The Boyfriend List. Ruby's older and more mature, and like everyone has already said, it's not as much about boys as it is about Roo's development. Great read, 5 stars. :) "
— Savannah, 12/1/2013" I love Ruby Oliver- she seems like a real teenager. "
— Angela, 8/6/2013" i picked this up at my local library and didn't realize it was part of a series... oops. it stood well on its own, however. i think it would've been better if i had read the first book, but oh well. it was okay. "
— Cheyenne, 5/24/2013" E. Lockhart is becoming like Joss Whedon for me; I will consume anything that she produces. "
— Maya, 5/5/2013" i really liked this one. "
