This book was heart-warming and a delightful view on aging. Ruby is a lovable, interesting character who has a very entertaining life story! This story takes you through her life based around the significant men in her story. It was touching and emotional, as well as funny and not what you would expect from when you are first introduced to her! I found at times it moved slightly too fast, but that also helped to build the character of Ruby as the narrator. It was reminiscent of the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - if you liked that, you will enjoy this!
Thank you Net Galley and Aria & Aries for this ARC.
