Spoiler - (I'll try to not give everything away) (but then again, I would STRONGLY recommend you not buy this so I'll be doing you a favour) In the middle of the book, Aaron asks Ruby to meet live in person, and yes, we were all waiting for that moment and saw it coming, so you can imagine my irritation when the entire chapter, and I not exaggerating here, has her saying 'What?!!! Noooo what if you don't like me?', 'What? Noooo.why?', 'What nooo, I can't, I just can't' And Aaron repeating the same answers. I mean who needs a woman constantly talking about what a looser she is in almost EVERY sentence? 2. And if that didn't work, I'd end the friendship. I mean, I've never been painfully embarrassed by the lack of confidence and self loathing for a fictional character before, but if she were my friend I would sit her down and seriously tell her to seek professional help. And can you guess what Aaron's says back to her in response? You guessed it 'You're not stupid' OVER AND OVER AND OVER again! In real life he would have said, 'Forget this chick, she got a problem'. 'This always happens to me, why don't I never learn!!'. 'Why, why, why do I do this all the time! I'm such an idiot'. Sorry, you might not want to answer that'. I think I counted about 1 zillion times she said 'sorry'. 'Ruby' was the constantly whiny, wimpy, self pitying, self-loathing. Unless you like a grown woman crying like a baby at the bus stop cause she thinks her friend isn't meeting her. We have to like our lead right? No such luck here. The Crybaby The number one most painful issue I had was the main character 'Ruby'. There were so many elements that went in to making this book excruciating but to save you the long read, I'll mention only my top three. Actually, I think that when I was 10, I would still think it was excruciating. This is a great book - if your a 10 year old.
