Her long-lost father shows up, and Ruby doesn't want anything to do with him. She wants to hang out and eat cake with her friends -- loyal Beth, dangerous Katherine, and gossipy Maria. They always have plenty of advice for her, and they have A LOT to say about her dad's return. But Ruby's not sure what to think or feel. Especially when a cute new boy named Charlie comes into the picture . . . and Ruby discovers not all of her friends are as truthful as they say they are.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for THE LIST: "I devoured THE LIST -- it's funny, heartbreaking, suspenseful, and wise.
