The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver Quartet) - Softcover
From E. Lockhart, author of the highly acclaimed, New York Times bestseller We Were Liars, which John Green called "utterly unforgettable," comes The Boyfriend List, the first book in the uproarious and heartwarming Ruby Oliver novels. 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.

Review:
Praise for the boyfriend list * "Spot-on dialogue and details make this a painfully recognizable and addictive read."--Publishers Weekly, Starred "Lockhart shines at depicting the all-encompassing microcosm of school social life."--Kirkus Reviews "Lockhart has created a fun character in the spirit of Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones....The snappy dialogue makes this story a winner."--School Library Journal "An ingenious way to look at one teenager's life....The book is spectacular, with a well-constructed story and deep, emotional significance."--The Romantic Times "Breezy and genuine, with a tender understanding of who really walks the halls in America's high schools. The Boyfriend List made me laugh and, yeah, I was kind of attracted to Kim."--Ned Vizzini, author of It's Kind of a Funny Story "The Boyfriend List is a wonderful comic exploration of the maddening (but hilarious) world of mothers and fathers, the gut-wrenching politics (and excitement) of multiple crushes, and the complications (and kinship) of friendship. Ruby Oliver is a winning girl (even if she doesn't realize it) we'd all befriend in a heartbeat (as long as she doesn't have her eyes on our guy)."--Jill A. Davis, author of Girls' Poker Night "Ruby Oliver's list of boyfriends is a wonderful and tragic document of our times. I felt kind of bad for some of the guys on the list, but at the same time, while I read, I kept wishing I was on it."--J. Minter, author of the Insiders series An ALA Best Book for Young Adults
