Treasure Map of Boys by E. Lockhart
Ruby is back at Tate Prep, and it’s her thirty-seventh week in the state of Noboyfriend. Her panic attacks are bad, her love life is even worse, and what’s more: Noel is writing her notes, Jackson is giving her frogs, Gideon is helping her cook, and Finn is making her brownies. Rumors are flying, and Ruby’s already-sucky reputation is heading downhill. Not only that, she’s also: running a bake sale, learning the secrets of heavymetal therapy, encountering some seriously smelly feet, defending the rights of pygmy goats, and bodyguarding Noel from unwanted advances. In this companion novel to The Boyfriend List and The Boy Book, Ruby struggles to secure some sort of mental health, to understand what constitutes a real friendship, and to find true love—if such a thing exists.
I love this series and was so excited to recieve an ARC of it. Lockhart's newest book in the Ruby series doesn't disappoint. While reading this book, what made me happy was seeing how Ruby grows as a character, which after re-reading the first two books, was a welcome change. Lockhart does a great job balancing funny stuff and more serious aspects. I'm not really sure of what else to say about this novel. I just really enjoyed it and can't wait for the fourth one!

ReplyDeleteI loved this book and I hope there's another one. You have a wonderful blog and I was wondering if we could put each other on our blog lists?
ReplyDeleteI loved this one too. Actually, I liked it better than the first two. But, I'm pretty nervous for Book 4. I thought this one ended in a way that didn't demand another and I liked how everything ended up so the idea of a fourth one ruining that....
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll just have to wait and read it :)
