The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart Teen Summer Reading Program Review by Alex Hee, 15 I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a story that I could relate to in some ways. The main character in the story, Roo, goes from being a normal popular girl in high school, to a loner, to a class slut, to most hated person and finally just a normal kid. She goes through all of this in her sophomore year of high school. She creates the boyfriend list as one of her homework assignments given to her by her therapist. Roo places all of the boys in one list the “boyfriend list” which consisted of the boys she had ever thought about liking. She tells the story of each boy in her therapy sessions. I would suggest reading it if you ever wanna have a good laugh. Teen Advisory Committee
