The Boy Book by E. Lockhart

January 5th, 2009

Ahh, there’s nothing quite like a good five-day weekend to catch up on some reading.  Though I’m in the middle of a revision on my manuscript, I took some time to check out some other YA novels.  As I mentioned before, I have been wanting to read E. Lockhart’s The Boy Book, sequel to The Boyfriend List.  My father-in-law kicks some serious butt and got it for me for the holidays.  This book joins Ruby Oliver in her junior year, and it was a blast to read.  Lockhart deals with school, friendship, and crushes in a realistic and funny way.  The main character is lovable and relatable and she jumps off the page.  I would definitely check it out.

Happy New Year!

I woke this morning to the smell of fog and fireworks.  A quiet start to what I hope will be a big year.
