She is the only child and her parents worry about her a lot. Ruby Oliver is a teenage girl who is in high school. "Out of the Tate universe, standing at the edge of sea". I know there are more books and her misery isn't ready to end yet, but I liked the state I left her in: The ending was bittersweet but satisfying. Ruby was not perfect nor did she hate herself or her body (her life was another matter), a little bit dramatic when it comes to Jackson, but not over the top. Though panic attacks and anxiety are very serious issues and not a subject to joke with, I didn't expect it will be very well handled in a book labeled as Humor and it's partly why I liked it. However, after one too many episode of humiliation she's completely shattered and starts having panic attacks. For one, the author is very funny and Ruby puts herself in the most ridiculous situations, then has to face the consequences and pay it with her dignity. this book was your run-of-the-mill high-school book, except some details made it different and enjoyable. Heartbreak, broken friendships, cute boys, kissing, dirty rumors. The Boyfriend List is a cute, funny adorable little read that will leave you infatuated with some of the boys (my favorite is Noel) and sympathizing with poor Ruby Oliver.
