Ruth & Pen
by Emilie Pine
RUTH AND PEN by EMILIE PINE
First of all, I adore the cover of this book. That shade of yellow is my favourite and I really like the photo. Secondly, I owe a huge thanks to @vikingbooksuk for sending me a finished copy of this highly anticipated book. And thirdly, my review:
This book follows two different perspectives; Ruth’s and Pen’s. One is a therapist struggling with her marriage and the other is a young teenager struggling to understand the world around her — normal teenager stuff — and she’s also autistic.
What sold me on the premise of this book, though, is that it was set over the course of one day. I love that — it makes everything incredibly fast paced and there’s no way you can read a book like this slowly.
I struggled with some of the themes, which I won’t mention for fear of spoilers, but I’ll tell you if you message me (they also count as trigger warnings). When I say I struggled, I mean it’s not something I’d choose to read about, however, I somehow still enjoyed this book.
I think I found the ending a little odd and I struggled to understand how I was meant to feel. Was there a point to it? Did there need to be a point to it? Was it just meant to be a day in a life and that’s it? Did I miss something?
Despite all my lingering questions, or maybe because of them, I’d still rate this book.
If you’ve read it and written a review, let me know because I’d love to read it.
