The Treasure Map of Boys

E. Lockhart 
The Third Ruby Oliver Novel 


Synopsis 
Ruby's musings continue, following up The Boyfriend List and The Boy Book. She continues to see Dr. Z, her psychiatrist, about her social hang-ups and panic attacks. 


Review 
I really like these books. The third installment is just as good, if not better, than the other ones. I love Ruby as a main character. Her voice is so honest, her thoughts are so spot on - I actually believe that she is a real (and not fictional) teenager (Maybe I should be seeing Dr. Z). Kudos to E. Lockhart for writing such a well written teen. The footnotes are amazing. Should I insert a pun about how this book is a treasure, probably not. 




Humor - 3/4 quite funny
Snogging - a 6 on the scale
Story/Characters - 4/4 
Pace - 4/4 I read this in a day
Overall Score - 4/5 Excellent!
