Francesca Lia Block has such a unique way of telling a story that is short, and to the point, while not leaving anything important out. I love her writing style, which makes me feel like I'm reading a long, beautifully descriptive poem.

Ruby is a very simple book with a very simple plot. Many books tend to drag out a simple plot line into endless pages of nonsense, while Blocks books are always simple in size, yet full in description and charm. What I love about this book, is that it brings back my "young adult" years without being too "girl meets boy."

Many of Block's books have a fantasy theme that lays under the plot, but I must say she does a fantastic job of making fantasy seem like reality, much like Alice Hoffman does in her novels.

I would give this book to any young adult, as well as anyone that doesn't want to give up reading simple, charming, and beautifully written books about young girls that don't fit in, and want to win over the boy of their dreams.
