Ruby Oliver has an assignment—a
mental health assignment as she calls it—known as the boyfriend
list. It lists the boyfriends she liked, kind of liked, dated, as
well as almost boyfriends, rumored boyfriends, and wished-he-were
boyfriends.
Easy assignment
right? Well … let’s just say having the entire school to read it
by accident won’t make you the school favorite, but it will make
you the school pariah.
In 10 days,
Ruby will lose her boyfriend, her best friend in the world, and
still have time to get an F in math (but not in that order). If
you were Ruby Oliver, you’d die from embarrassment, loneliness,
or both—and live to tell about it to your shrink, Dr. Z. (who gave
Ruby this tragic assignment in the first place). You’ll laugh, you’ll
cry, but mostly you’ll cry laughing at the humorous confessions
of a drama teen.
