When your dating pool turns into a swamp, wine becomes a food group, sarcasm becomes a survival skill, and a life jacket feels wildly optimistic.
This book is a laugh-out-loud rom-com with a dash of memoir that follows Ruby Ann Wilson's no-holds-barred return to the wild world of dating. Packed with outrageous mishaps, unforgettable characters, and heartwarming moments, Ruby's hilarious quest for love just might lead her to the one thing she's wants-Mr. Right.
Irrepressible Ruby Ann Wilson is taking one last brave plunge into the dating pool. Despite a lifetime of romantic disasters caused by charging headfirst into love with eyes closed and arms wide open, she's determined to get it right this time. Armed with hard-earned wisdom, unwavering optimism, and a sassy sense of humor, Ruby dives back into the chaos of dating, discovering that the road to happily ever after is anything but predictable.
This book is an absolute delight from start to finish! It's so enjoyable, so much fun, and packed with the kind of charm that makes you smile long after you've put it down. Part rom-com, part real-life reflection, the story strikes a balance between humor and heart-the kind that makes you laugh out loud one moment and nod knowingly the next.
I can easily see this becoming an entertaining movie, and I truly hope it does. The characters, situations, and witty dialogue all lend themselves to the big screen. If you're looking for a feel-good read-something to lift your spirits, make you laugh, and give you a bit of insight into the very real things people go through-this is the book you want. I highly recommend it. It's simply a great book.
