Ruby Oliver is 15 and has a shrink. She knows it’s unusual, but give her a break—she’s had a rough 10 days. In the past 10 days she:lost her boyfriend (#13 on the list),
lost her best friend (Kim),
lost all her other friends (Nora, Cricket),
did something suspicious with a boy (#10),
did something advanced with a boy (#15),
had an argument with a boy (#14),
drank her first beer (someone handed it to her),
got caught by her mom (ag!),
had a panic attack (scary),
lost a lacrosse game (she’s the goalie),
failed a math test (she’ll make it up),
hurt Meghan’s feelings (even though they aren’t really friends),
became a social outcast (no one to sit with at lunch)
and had graffiti written about her in the girls’ bathroom (who knows what was in the boys’!?!).
But don’t worry—Ruby lives to tell the tale. And make more lists.

I remember being 12 years old and thinking I was pretty much awesomeness personified for reading books like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights when all the other kids were reading Roald Dahl. Since then I seem to be going backwards and reading all the books I should have read prior to my 16th birthday, like Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and also this one. And I love them! It just goes to show how a book doesn't have to be a couple of centuries old and a household name to be awesome.IMy very own soundtrack for this book:Crystal Fighters - You & I The Lumineers - Charlie Boy The Lumineers - Flowers in Her HairThis, the Silent War - We Are BrokenVance Joy - RiptideMSMR - Bones Banks - Waiting GameSometimes I get this urge to write stuff down. Mundane day-to-day thoughts, to-do lists, to-read lists, to-buy lists, to-cook lists, to-gift lists, etc. (Clearly, I have a List Writing Addiction, or too much time on my hands.) Ive probably created and destroyed and revised a dozen
E. Lockhart definitely delivered a heartfelt book with laugh out loud moments that captured my attention and sympathy from cover to cover. The Boyfriend List has what it takes to have you falling for the main character Ruby Roo Oliver as her life at Tate Prep turns upside down when her boyfriend dumps her, she begins to suffer from anxiety attacks and ultimately becomes a patient of Dr. Z to deal with her angst. Well you think when she begins to seek counsel, her life will begin to get back on
Why I Recommend Moving This UP On Your TBR: The narrative examined a lot of harmful topics in an enlightened way, for example girl-hate is explored, as is the word "slut", etc. This contains an abundance of thought-provoking topics. It provides education for readers about certain harmful social behaviors they might be engaging in that hurt others and themselves that they might not even realize. The story is well-crafted in that it's unpredictable and all of the chapters weave together well. I
As seen on The ReadventurerI can't help it, I simply adore E. Lockhart's YA books. As far as girly, chick-lit books about relationships go, hers are the best. And this is coming from a person who isn't into chick-lit.Just like in The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, E. Lockhart explores the challenges of being a teenage girl. In The Boyfriend List we learn about Ruby Oliver through her relationships with boys (not necessarily her boyfriends), how these relationship affect her life
3.5-3.75 stars?I genuinely liked this book, I did, but I feel like after reading the Jessica Darling series, nothing will ever compare in the chick-lit genre, which is unfair, because I had so much fun reading this. I loved the little nudges in support of feminism that were dispersed in this book. I loved how this book made me experience such intense emotion: Revulsion, anger, warmth, betrayal, humour. I loved how this book made me seriously love some characters and seriously hate others with
Therapy - how people used to work through problems before Facebook existed. Nowadays people tend to talk about how much their life sucks on a social network until enough people pop in to console them. Ruby has a therapist, half the world has a Facebook, and I just have Goodreads. Reviewing as therapy : Everything you absolutely didn't want to know about my life made available for you to read about in print. This book made me feel a little bit disturbed about my own high school existence. The end
