The Return of Ruby Darling

De: Leeanne Slade

Narrado por: Eleanor Tomlinson

From Leeanne Slade, the #1 bestselling author of The Rebound, Told You So and The Glitch, comes a brand new Audible Original about love, family, and finding yourself – no matter how far from home you have to go. Narrated by Eleanor Tomlinson, star of Poldark and One Day.

Ruby Darling's life is falling apart. Her engagement is over, her career as a travel influencer is in shambles, and she's convinced the universe is out to get her. Desperate to turn things around, Ruby embarks on a life-changing journey to New Zealand to find her long-lost father, dragging along her estranged best friend, Nate.

As they navigate the stunning landscapes, Ruby and Nate's friendship rekindles into something more. But with family secrets, cosmic curses, and their own emotional baggage to contend with, can Ruby find the path to true happiness? Or will she lose everything – including the one person who's always believed in her?

Heartwarming, hilarious, and filled with wanderlust, The Return of Ruby Darling is the perfect escape for anyone who's ever felt lost and found themselves in the most unexpected places.

Sometimes all you need is the open road, and a bit of help from the Universe, to re-evaluate what – and with whom – you’re truly destined to be.

Stunning

I am pretty stingy with stars, but this one deserves all the ones I can give it and so many more. This is one of the rarest of instances when author, story, characters and narrator are so perfectly matched that the experience becomes something other than just a good book. I am an Audible addict and there are many books I love with my whole heart, but I can honestly say that I enjoyed this one more than any other. This author is new to me, and I am floored by her talent. Every word is believable and beautiful. Elenor does a stellar job of narrating. Her voice is so lovely and soothing and she gets the timing and delivery perfect. There are hilarious moments when I laughed loud and long. Usually any comedy barely gets a soft chuckle. The story is different and goes to unexpected places. Edge of your seat kind of stuff. The spicier scenes are mild and elegantly written without any of the same 12 words that are seemingly used everywhere else. A comforting listen like rom coms are meant to be. I want a movie!! Highly highly recommended. The best credit I didn’t have to spend. Do yourself a favor and dive in. I hope the author receives due credit because she is something special.

I sweet and intriguing

This book was supposed to entertain me during a drive but I was so captivated by the story of deep love, friendship, family, heart break and the beauty in facing so many hard painful aspects of life that & couldn’t put it down even after I arrived at my destination. I highly recommend this book and this author.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

Amazing. I loved this book so much. Humor, romance, grief, so many good things wrapped into one book.

I was absolutely not prepared to adore this the way I did. Such a tender story. Several ups and downs. Love, love, love these characters. So sad to have it end
