Ruby Simon is a successful marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles, newly engaged to a man she loves. She also has a secret: as a child, she let a bully drown, and later she was involved in two other deaths. Sascha Rothchild writes in first person in a dark, funny voice, switching between Ruby's childhood and the present, as her past comes back to threaten her relationships. The question is how someone can help others with their problems while hiding her own.
Readers who like psychological thrillers with a witty narrator and an unreliable moral compass will find a quick, darkly comic read.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
