Usually, a book has one main story, but in this book there are two stories connected by one girl. Honey, Baby, Sweetheart, by Deb Caletti, is a National Book Award Finalist. It is about a young girl named Ruby McQueen who falls in love with "bad boy-daredevil" Travis. When things between them start to go downhill due to Travis' juvenile behavior, Ruby is forced to leave the boy she loves. The story then collides with the hunt for the husband of her mother's friend. Very old in years, she is kept at home by her two daughters, but longs to find her husband once again. The search for her husband is successful, but ends tragically. Honey, Baby, Sweetheart is a book would recommend for young adults. As a girl, I feel that this book would be enjoyed more so by girls than boys. The plot is hard to follow at times, and it surprises the reader when Travis, a main character, suddenly disappears so fast. The end of the book is stops at a completely different place than where it started, and almost made me feel like things were left unfinished. This is not to say the book was not worthwhile. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it, but it is not my favorite book of all time.

This book was GREAT!!! I loved every minute I spent reading it! I found this book to be about finding where you stand in life, not going by what your friends say! If you read this book you will LOVE it! I hope... I did!

I picked this book up at a spur of the moment purchase. I must say that this book was good but not one of my faves. The book started out strong but seemed to siszzle out as the chapters went on. It has a great meaning and plot but the ending didn't seem to wow! me.
