Publisher Description

From E. Lockhart, author of the highly acclaimed, New York Times bestseller We Were Liars, which John Green called "utterly unforgettable," comes The Boyfriend List, the first book in the uproarious and heartwarming Ruby Oliver novels. Ruby Oliver is 15 and has a shrink. She knows it’s unusual, but give her a break—she’s had a rough 10 days. In the past 10 days 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), drank her first beer (someone handed it to her), got caught by her mom (ag!), had a panic attack (scary), 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) and 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.

"I loved this book! I wanted a palette cleanser. Something light and fluffy and easy to read. What I got was complex and imperfect and wonderfully executed with full, flawed, beautiful characters. I loved the skewering of cliches. I liked Roo's therapy and the lessons that she leaned. And I loved how messy and real it was."

    " It's not super-deep or mind-blowing, but it was strangely therapeutic to read, and it made me want to go and write my own list of all of my past crushes and boyfriends. Starting the sequel right now! "

    " I liked the way this book was written. Each chapter was a different boy on Rudy's list, but then she also went into what had made her start therapy. This was a fun read. "

    " This book was so cute. I cant believe how many boys she had on her list, shes only 15. I think girls can relate to how silly boys are and how bestfriends can become strangers. I think its good to say how your feeling, and not bite your tounge. "

    " Something about this book made me love it. Maybe it was the realism and the fact that I could/wanted to relate to the main character in every way. Maybe it was because the book starred every type of boy that you find in other novels while at the same time being so unique and un-cliche. Maybe it was because every time I thought the book was going to follow the same, boring, predictable path as other young adult chick-lit, the author called me out on it and steered clear of it. Or maybe it was just because I haven't read a simple, feel-good book in a long time. "

    " The footnotes - Ag! - as Ruby would say. They got on my nerves to the point that I had to make myself finish reading, only because it was one of my daughter's book study options. "

    " It was so good, witty, and the dialogue was spot-on. But the ending felt so unfinished, and I know there's a sequel, but there should be some closure. "

    " This was super cute and funny. I loved her ramblings in her head and why something was a certian way and why it could also be the complete opposite. I feel for her and cringe at the thought of how mean high school girls can be and how stupid boys are! "

    " Ok, probably good for a teenage girl to read to know how it is and for mothers of teenage girls to remember what goes on/what is going on nowadays. "
