Eddy knows how to play the game of love.

He has all the tricks down cold, and his favorite girls are the ones with cherry lipstick and long legs in fishnets. They know he doesn't make any promises.

But as graduation looms, the game begins to shift for Eddy. He never expected unattainable and perfect Lucinda Dulko to walk into his life. For the first time ever, Eddy's not in control. To be with Lucinda, he has to play on her terms.

But what happens to a player when the rules suddenly change? Will Eddy find a way to win it all? Or will he get played?

Praise for this book

"Pervaded by melancholy, witty, frank about sex, at pains not to indulge in stereotyping, GOOD GIRLS will undoubtedly appeal to readers made savvy about the otherworld of American school life." - Financial Times
Praise for Good Girls: "Harrowing, honest, poignant, and wickedly funny, Laura Ruby's so-good novel comes out swinging," - -Libba Bray, author of A Great and Terrible Beauty
"A good coming-of-age story where boy meets reality and discovers he may have to rethink the rest of the story." - KLIATT
"A frank, realistic portrayal of teen life." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
"Guy lit with a brain and a heart, this has plenty to offer both romantics and cynics about love, film, and transformation." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Eddy is enjoyable in that charming, self-obsessed, heartbreaker way, and he's flawed and vulnerable enough to be real." - School Library Journal
