Ruby’s Revenge was such a fun experience! In the beginning, she’s like the majority of us; respectful, never saying what’s really on her mind because it could be considered rude and inconsiderate. To love, honor and obey her jerk husband because that’s what is expected of her. Over the course of the book, however, Ruby begins to come into her own and realizes that sometimes, despite how respectful and considerate you are to others, it doesn’t always matter to them.
Once that realization comes into clarity for Ruby, the fun begins! Armed with a new sense of purpose, self-worth, and her best friend Dottie, Ruby sets out to settle the score with not just her husband, but with the others who have taken advantage of her or used her, in an effort to come back to some sense of peace and normalcy for herself. It’s obvious that some of this stems from her upbringing and the strangled relationship she has with her mother, but it also comes from a lack of care she’s had for herself for so long, making her a target for people who use her good nature for their own greater good.
I loved the various ways she dishes it out, because through it all she maintains who she is deep down, making her a very likable character. I might not choose to seek revenge in the same way she has, but I felt like I could live a little vicariously through her, rubbing my hands together in glee when she manages to take someone down who truly deserves it. It was a wholesomely naughty revenge book, a worthy five-star read!
