Saving Ruby King by Catherine Adel West
4.0
Contemporary fiction is rarely something I truly enjoy, but the way this story is told drew me in a way that no contemporary has before.
Seeing a story from so many separate point of view is like watching a web be spun. Watching how every point comes together to form a pieces of art. Saving Ruby King builds the story so beautifully around this tragic point in Ruby's life. Showing how it shakes her community, herself, and everything that lead up to that fateful day in such a beautiful way.
It is intrinsically different then how most Mysteries are told and honestly it left me in want of more mysteries to be told like this.
