This is the third book in the Ruby Oliver series, and if you enjoyed the other two books, you will love this as well. In the latest installment, Ruby is still dealing with being ostracized by her old group of friends for her rumored promiscuous behavior with a number of boys in her private school, Tate Prep. Luckily, she has Megan and Nora by her side. That is until Nora starts making it clear that she has a crush on Noel, and Ruby can't keep from flirting with him. In addition to the number of boys that seem to constantly cause her blood pressure to rise, Ruby is also facing the challenge of running a school bake sale, trying to keep a job, and handling a very large and very messy Great Dane.
The thing that I love about the Ruby Oliver books is that they really capture what it is like to be a boy crazy teenager. One day Ruby likes Noel, one day she likes Jackson, she can't figure out if Finn likes her...it may seem trivial to adults, but to Ruby (and the reader) it is all very serious stuff. I especially liked how E. Lockhart handles Ruby's relationship with her girl friends, and how things change when boys come into the picture.
Bonus points for an awesome cover, and lots of descriptions of delicious deserts throughout the book that had me craving something sweet the whole time I was reading!
