Customer Reviews

A good read

It was good and thoughtful and a little disturbing as the story has some sex parts that I don't really think kids under 14 should read as it certainly bugged me for a day. On the other hand it's nice that Ruby was so truthful and probably for most her age fought so much with her mother. It made me think and I liked it. It had a dreary sad tone the whole way through. It's a short easy read saying how most teenagers are.

Cute and Honest

I've been waiting for some teen fiction that was actually honest! The book is about a girl that is about 16-17. It is her thoughts of her first boyfriend, sex, family, and everything else a girl thinks about. But it's really honest, not fake like most of the books are. I liked Ruby's personality and the way she handled living with her difficult mother. I think older teens will really love it. A word of caution, it does has sexual content.
