Review Quotes: Praise for the treasure map of boys
"Fans will continue to root for the authentic if self-centered narrator as she relates both the hilarious and painful moments of her life....They will appreciate her honest insights about the good and bad in everyone."--
Publishers Weekly "Lots of laugh-out-loud moments. Ruby is smart, confused, and often foolish when it comes to love; few characters ring this true. As Ruby would say: complete and utter deliciousness."--
Booklist "Ruby is funny--very funny. She expresses herself in a manner both self-depricating and precocious, with a quirky use of language and an appreciation for the absurd that is thoroughly endearing. A definite purchase."--
School Library Journal "Ruby's voice is solidly witty with that edge of hysteria characteristic of today's teen girl narrators. If readers are already interested in her story, this is a must, but even those who've never met her will find this an enjoyable read."--
