Editorial Review:
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.
From the Hardcover edition.

This book is stellar.
Even if you have not read the first book, (The Boyfriend List)
This book still screams perfection.
The ending however left much to be desired as I had hoped since book 1 that a certain 2 people would get together.
Although I did hope for something else which only half came true.
haha
But still great.
E. Lockhart knows the inside of our minds more than any other author.
A great read.
Rating: - intresting and quirky read
the boy book is a great teenage novel that is both infomative and entertaining. i really identifioed with the main character, Ruby and her friends. she is fiercely independent yet vulnerable and unsure. she is a great literary heroine much like Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet. e. lockhart's witty and poetic words dive write into the middle of Ruby's soul. a great book for teenage girls that i would highly recommend.
Rating: - Humorously heartbreaking
Ruby Oliver is back!
E. Lockhart, author of the much acclaimed and popular THE BOYFRIEND LIST, has delivered a sequel that holds its own. THE BOY BOOK: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them, details the humorously heartbreaking junior year of Ruby Oliver, now 16 years old and newly-licensed to drive.
The drama from last year's debacle may be past, but it's far from over. There isn't any nice way to say it: Ruby is a social leper. Everyone looks at ... Read More
