90-year-old Ruby Devereaux isn't one to back down from a challenge, especially when she can drop some jaws along the way. So when her publisher demands she fulfill her contract and write one more book, Ruby ultimately obliges, but does so on her own terms, adding some shock value along the way.
This novel takes readers on a romp through a good portion of the 20th century, all while learning a few of the "scandalous" details of the many loves of her life.
Overall, it was an entertaining read. I enjoyed Ruby's feisty nature and her assertion of her female autonomy. I'm probably not in the target audience, but for the most part, I still enjoyed Ruby's escapades throughout the decades - even the farfetched ones. I will admit, the historical fiction aspect kept me interested for sure. If romance tropes are your shtick, this novel certainly covers several of them!
Many thanks to partner, @kayepublicity for this #gifted review copy.
