THE BOY BOOK by E. Lockhart

 

The Boy Book: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them
is the sequel to The Boyfriend List, which is just out in paperback. The Boy Book is about Ruby, who in the first book plummeted from social butterfly to leper, rebuilding her life junior year of high school–with the help of a guide to understanding the male sex that she wrote with her ex-friends.

The new edition of the first Ruby Oliver book (The Boyfriend List) has a fun author Q&A at the back, plus provocative questions for your book club or reading group.

Preview it here!

"Lockhart achieves the perfect balance of self-deprecating humor and self-pity in Ruby, and thus imbues her with such realism she seems to fly off the page." — VOYA

 I recently read E. Lockhart's Fly On the Wall and loved it so much I immediately reread it!

 

my next novel….

While my site goes under some major reconstruction (blog based), here's a sneak peek at my upcoming novel (will be published the last week of December).

From the back cover:

When did Abby's life become an episode of Law & Order? 

First, a former boyfriend (who dumped Abby in the most humiliating way imaginable) is found murdered the day his engagement is announced. Then two other ex-boyfriends report attempts made on their lives right after breaking up with her. Coincidence? Detective Benjamin Orr, of the Portland Police Department (and Very Probing Questions and Incredibly Delicious Face), doesn’t think so. Neither do Abby’s friends, family, coworkers and other exes—who are suddenly shaking in their shoes. Soon everyone is sucking up to her as though the Abby they know and supposedly love to death is capable of poisoning their drinks….

Is someone trying to frame her? Who? And why? She has to find out fast. Because by-the-book Ben is bound to break her heart. Which makes him next on someone’s list…

“Senate’s prose is fresh and lively.”

“Melissa Senate is definitely one of my favorite chick lit writers. Her books are always feel-good, fast-paced and hilariously funny!”
—Sarah Mlynowski, bestselling author ofMilkrun and Me vs. Me
