I can't get enough of Ruby Oliver. I sincerely hope there are more of these coming. ( )

I enjoyed this just as much as the first two Ruby books. Same humor, same marvelous voice. I find it impressive that Lockhart can take me so very close to disliking Ruby, and yet provide just enough heart and reality to her character that I can't help but root for her and cheer her progress.

I am glad to hear there is a fourth book coming!

This is probably my favorite of the Ruby Oliver books because Ruby grows up a lot more. She still has her same problems, but she becomes much better at dealing with them in my opinion which makes her a more sympathetic and dynamic character. Can't wait for the last installment in this series, especially with the way Lockhart ends this one. ( )

Ruby's older but... I dunno, she really hasn't grown up as much as I'd expect. She, and her friends, seem to still mentally be sophomores. Or maybe the junior kids I know are extra mature. I had a hard time trying to reconcile the apparent ages of the characters with their stated ages. That being said, it was still a very enjoyable book, and I like the ways in which Ruby begins to take control of her life. I also like her level of confusion, that reads dead-on to me. However, Jackson hasn't a single redeeming quality. Not one.
