About this book

Siobhan Vivian's sparkling YA debut... now in paperback!Ruby's turning sixteen . . . but the day doesn't turn out to be as sweet as it's supposed to be. Her long-lost father shows up, and Ruby doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Instead, she wants to hang out with her friends--loyal Beth, dangerous Katherine, and gossipy Maria. They have plenty of advice for her--about boys, about her dad, about how she should look and what she should be feeling. But really, Ruby doesn't know what to think or feel. Especially when a new boy comes into the picture . . . and Ruby discovers some of her friends aren't as truthful as they say.

"High school has never felt more authentic, and all of Vivian's characters are nuanced but instantly recognizable . . . [Vivian] sends a positive message about acceptance, forgiveness, and love." -Booklist



"Girls trying to reconcile confusing messages about female empowerment will surely relate to Natalie's predicament." -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
