Ruby's Misadventures With Reality is laugh out loud hilarious with so many humorous mishaps and antics. Enjoy!įULL REVIEW CAN BE FOUND AT BOTTLES & BOOKS REVIEWS HERE. But if you are looking for a romantic suspense…there is little to no steam and the suspense is not there…gumshoe…definitely gumshoe is there. This rambling only serves to give you an idea of the book and Ruby’s inner montage that ran the length of the book. I loved the shoes on the cover and at times thought it was a good mystery that had so much other weirdness that it took away from the plot and added the Romanticon element. I don’t know…I just don’t understand this book. I was confused about the dialogue, almost attached to Estelle (the dead woman), and irritated by all the other characters who were almost two dimensional in a world that seemed more Urban Fantasy than real. The rest of the story is the bumbling gumshoe, nursing a shopping addiction and an ever growing belly, trying to solve a murder no one thinks is murder. They do not really know each other and there are large gaps in the story that were never cleared up really. After said awkward one-night stand…that NEITHER remember, they go about their lives.
Just saying, it is never ok to drug someone’s drink…NEVER. The whole back story of the book is about a night on blackout aka “Special Pepsi” that Ruby’s squatter, the supposed to be funny pot-head druggie who sleeps on their couch and eats their food, slips into Ruby and her landlord Noel’s drinks. She is resourceful, hardworking and quick witted…everything Ruby is NOT. Ruby lives with her friend, a brilliant scientist by day, who happens to want to revolutionize the bra and undie industry. Like that genre I “found” a couple years ago, Romanticon….is this Romanticon? Romance and comedy with a slice of oblivious.
