"The Treasure Map of Boys" is the third book in the Ruby Oliver series. In this book, Ruby is juggling between therapy for her panic attacks and boys. She is falling for Noel, but her conscience tells her that she shouldn't because her friend Nora likes him. Also, she is haunted by feelings for her ex-boyfriend, Jackson, and becomes even further confused when Finn and Gideon start flirting with her. In general, Ruby is completely confused with life, and feels like it's being ruled by all of these different boys.

Opinion: 

This book is very average. It wasn't necessarily 'bad', but it wasn't 'great'. You can look on almost any book shelf and find a book about a high-school girl being confused by boys. The book itself was in general very good, but it was too typical. Compared to other books of this style, it was pretty good. I liked how she is juggling her boy problems with her therapy. I think if she would just stop worrying so much about boys then her problems might go away. Overall, I would say read this book because it is very giddy and interesting. You may not be impressed, but it's a good story.
