Publisher Description
Ruby has always been the generous mediator among her friends, family and colleagues, which is why they have all turned up to celebrate her 50th birthday. But after a few too many glasses of champers, Ruby’s speech doesn’t exactly go to plan. Instead of delivering the witty and warm words her guests are expecting, Ruby takes her moment in the spotlight to reveal what she really thinks of every one of them. She also accuses her husband, Harry, of having an affair.
Saving the best till last, Ruby lambasts her octogenarian mother for a lifetime of playing her three daughters against each other. It’s blisteringly brutal. As the stunned gathering gawks at Ruby, the birthday girl concludes her bravura monologue with the throwaway comment that she has terminal cancer. She has cashed in her life savings and plans on taking her two sisters cruising into the sunset for a dose of Husband Replacement Therapy. Courageous? Or ruthlessly selfish?
But, do they even want to go with her now that she's cast herself off into social Siberia?
Customer Reviews
Good read
Great read! Lots of laughs
The worst
Detested this book. The endless puns and double endentres. Dreadful.
Nope
So many puns, metaphors and cliches. I don’t know what I expected but this book wasn’t to my taste. I made it to a third of the way through but it was just too cringeworthy for me to continue. Think it would be more entertaining for the boomer generation though, someone female, over 50, and not looking to use their brain too much. A holiday read possibly.
