The Ruby Oliver quartet follows fifteen-year-old Ruby “Roo” Oliver as she navigates friendships, crushes, and therapy sessions at Tate Prep in Seattle. Each book is structured around Ruby’s lists of boys, ex-friends, humiliations, and other categorizations that help her make sense of her chaotic social life.

The series starts with The Boyfriend List (2005) and wraps up with Real Live Boyfriends (2010). Lockhart writes Ruby’s voice with sharp humor and genuine emotion, creating a character who is both self-aware and prone to the kind of bad decisions that make high school feel like a minefield.
