Real Live Boyfriends

      
      I sort of feel bad for Ruby and because she does not really have a clear point of what exactly she is doing. People call her rude mean names that are hurtful to any one but she has to put up with it. She has a boyfriend and she has like 2 friends but it is not enough. She wants a real. live. boyfriend.

     I dont think what she wants is wrong she just wants someone who will pay attention to her. Both her parents are either fighting or kissing and at school she is an outcast and her friend Kim is like a boyfriendanatior (terminator but with boys).

     Ruby wants a real live boyfriend. All this is, is a guy who pays attention to you and cares for you. It was like your dream guy. But she doesn't have that instead she has a guy who doesn't call her back and writes poems about blood. She is trying to kid herself and make her think that she IS in love but when she asks Kim what it is like to be in love they have two whole different definitions.

       A real live boyfriend is someone who you don't have to worry about. You can hang out with him even if he is with his friends. Someone who will always call you back. As a reader i think it is obvious that she needs attention. She gets panick attacks and she went through a whole boy crazy phase. SHE NEEDS ATTENTION.

       I don't really like Ruby because she is relatable but she annoys me. I don't really understand where she comes from. If that makes sence. She annoys me but she is interesting as well.overall i do like the book and am interested to read more.
