But when she discovers some things about Travis that means trouble, she finds herself in over her head. With Travis, Ruby felt like a different girl - someone who isn’t quiet, someone who can do the things normal Ruby wouldn’t do. Here we meet Ruby McQueen, The Quiet Girl, who finds herself hanging out with rich, gorgeous and mysterious thrill-seeker Travis Becker (who can afford to get several gift card sleeves if he wanted to). Honey, Baby, Sweetheartsounds like your typical YA romance from the title alone, so I was kind of expecting that when I started reading it. But when I finally found it, I decided not to let it go because I was curious. Of course it had to be the Deb Caletti book that is the hardest to find - is it because it’s a National Book Award finalist? I don’t know. So I figured that I may not like it too.Īnd then friends started recommending Honey, Baby, Sweetheartto me, so I was mildly curious.
That’s me judging a book and an author without any valid basis, and my only defense is that I read from some blogs in my reader how Deb Caletti books didn’t work for them. I’ve had Deb Caletti’s Wild Roses lying around at home for more than a year now but I never found the time to read it because I never really thought I would enjoy it. But for Ruby, this mission turns out to be much more than just a road trip…. When it is discovered that one of the group”s own members is the subject of the tragic love story they are reading, Ann and Ruby spearhead a reunion between the long-ago lovers.
In an effort to keep Ruby occupied, Ruby’s mother Ann drags Ruby to the weekly book club she runs. But Ruby is in over her head, and finds she is risking more and more when she’s with him. It is summer in the Northwest town of Nine Mile Falls, and sixteen-year-old Ruby McQueen, ordinarily dubbed The Quiet Girl, finds herself hanging out with gorgeous, rich, thrill-seeking Travis Becker.
