The Boy Book: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them (Ruby Oliver, #2)
E. Lockhart
Here is how things stand at the beginning of newly-licensed driver Ruby Oliver's junior year at Tate Prep:Kim: Not speaking. Far away in Tokyo.Cricket: Not speaking.Nora: Speaking--sort of. Chatted a couple times this summer when they bumped into each other outside of school--once shopping in the U District, and once in the Elliot Bay Bookstore. But she hadn't called Ruby, or anything.Noel: Didn't care what anyone thinks.Meghan: Didn't have any other friends.Dr. Z: Speaking.And Jackson. The big one. Not speaking.But, by Winter Break, a new job, an unlikely but satisfying friend combo, additional entries to The Boy Book and many difficult decisions help Ruby to see that there is, indeed, life outside the Tate Universe.

these books are crack. idc if they’re cringey i’m obsessed.
a selection of quotes for demonstrative purposes:
1. "Do you have lots of dick pictures, Ruby?" someone else asked.
"Maybe she does," muttered this guy Josh--а big luggy redheaded guy. (Recall my überslut reputation.)
"A whole collection, you moron," I spat back.
2. It hadn't occurred to me to think of Noel and Nora. But now it did. She was kind, and funny, and good at sports. She had beautiful dark curls and huge hooters. Plus she could bake.
Every guy's dream. Who on earth would want a neurotic eyeglass leper-slut when he could have a sporty, mentally stable big-hooter cook?
3. "I've told you, the Tate Universe isn't quite my thing."
"And I am?" I said it sarcastically, and his answer surprised me:
"Yes," said Noel. "You are my thing.”
Abruptly, he stopped walking. I stopped a few steps ahead and turned back to wait for him. I thought he was going to take my hand and kiss me, and I thought that I wanted him to.
I thought, Oh, we’re not friends, we’re in love.
