I thought it was crazy. I mean, the fragmented sentences? Were they even necessary?But apart from all that, there was this certain pain in writing. The rich snobs couldn't even get their head straight. It seemed exactly like this movie The Uninvited, where the youngest girl was mentally ill and s...
In the first two books Ruby Oliver frustrated me in so many ways. Her choices, her way of thinking and dealing with things,the fact that she would never really stick up for herself, but she's entertaining as hell and I can't help but really like her. The message in all these books is clear: depe...
I liked it, but it was definitely not as good as the previous books in the series. I like that the each book is written in a way that readers can understand even if they have not read the previous book but, because of this, I found myself skipping a lot of lines/sentences/footnotes because I have...
I'm writing a new review on top of my original one. As I said before, I read this first, not realizing it was the 4th book in a series. After reading all the prequels, I decided I should read this again and see how it impacted me the second time around.Mostly, it all just made a lot more sense,...
I like this book so much for being a fun, frothy, escape about gossip and boys. But I LOVE this book for transcending all of those things. When I first read the title: The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver, I expected that this book would conta...

It's a season of hormones, gold lame, hissy fits, jazz hands, song and dance, true love, and unitards that will determine their future --and test their...

As if we were four years old. Last was a sheet that Dittmar explained we were supposed to give to a peer. “Sometimes a friend will come up with ideas for what you can put on your application that you never would think of,” he enthused. “So pick a friend and have him or her write some answers. You...
Sky (but he had someone else.) Doctor Z thinks I have panic attacks because I don’t express myself. Like I’m repressing how I really feel, and all this repression triggers anxiety. Blah blah blah. To take it out of therapy-speak, Doctor Z thinks I’m lying way too much of the time. She thinks I li...
