A charming little book about an elderly author writing her final book, a memoir of the men in her life. The book takes us through decades of her relationships and has the men wrapped in a very interesting social history of tge decades.

Of course, today, Ruby’s life seems hardly scandalous. It is certainly interesting and the author has added a twist at the end which puts an interesting closure to Ruby’s story.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

I am so glad I took a chance on this book! The title and cover looked enticing, and the book ended up being excellent! The story is about Ruby, a 90 year old (in)famous author who goes about writing her memoir; each chapter focuses on a man who has made a difference in her life. The story is told with the backdrop of historical context and within lots of settings as Ruby travels! Ruby is such a fun, entertaining character, she gets into all sorts of trouble and intriguing situations over the course of her long life. I think this book is going to make a splash when it is released in January 2024…I’d recommend it!

Thank you very much to NetGalley, and Aria and Aries for the advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
