Changes

''The Boy Book'' is, needless to say, one of these books. Ruby Oliver is in her junior year (first year of 6th form) at a fancy schmanzy school in Seattle. In this, the sequel to [[''The Boyfriend List]] '' she is sans-friends and sans-boyfriend following the mortifying making-public of some very private information during the previous academic year. Ruby's not the uber-popular kind of girl who can just rock up on the first day of a new term and suddenly find herself surrounded by a brand new posse, and a selection of boys from which to take her pick. She's not the clique-leading cookie cutter stereotype Miss Blonde Cheerleader Girl. For one thing she's poor, or at least she is compared to the rich kids at her fee paying school, which she attends on a scholarship. There's no hot tub in her back yard, and expensive extra curricular activities are out of the question. Plus, she actually has to work to get some spending money, unlike the majority of her class. And, she's smart, hence the scholarship, and of course being smart is not something that's all that coveted in the high school world. No, Ruby's a bit different from the rest of her school and is acutely aware of this fact.
