Straight up- Ruby Tui
Fantastic read, ruby’s energy bounced off the pages. I didn’t want it to end!!
Authenticity😌
Living abroad in Australia brisbane, I’m sure I’m not the only maori kiwi over here chasing a dream life we only could have ever dreamed of. “Better living” so to speak.
My mum actually recommended this book to me, and as soon as I started, I couldn’t put it down. Each word and phrase used throughout her book almost reaches you in your soul as a kiwi, as a woman💪🏿
Str8 up, was the best $16 I have ever spent!!!
Our future as a nation, as a race appears to be so much brighter once you read this book. Uplifting, real and raw. I even had tears in some parts.
Must read✌🏽
