Ruby Oliver is fifteen and has a shrink. She knows it’s unusual, but give her a break - she’s had a rough ten days. She: lost her boyfriend (#13 on the list); lost her best friend (KIM); lost all her other friends (NORA, CRICKET); did something suspicious with a boy (#10); did something advanced with a boy (#15); had an arguement with a boy (#14); drank her first beer (someone handed it to her); got caught by her mum (again!); had a panic attack (scary); lost a lacrosse game (she’s the goalie); failed a math test (she’ll make it up); hurt MEGHAN’s feelings (even though they aren’t really friends); became a social outcast (no one to sit with at lunch); and had a graffiti written about her in the girls bathroom.
