One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies

Following her mother’s death, Ruby is reluctantly reunited with her estranged movie star father in this award-winning and bestselling novel in verse.

When Ruby’s mother dies, she’s dragged three thousand miles away from her gorgeous boyfriend, Ray, to live in LA with her father, who she’s only ever seen in movies. He’s a mega-famous actor who divorced her mom before Ruby was even born, and while the rest of the world may love him, Ruby definitely does not.

But as time passes and pages turn, Ruby comes to understand that circumstances are far more complicated than they seem, and sometimes forgiveness is found where you least expect it.

I like these books a bunch, I need to find more. ahhh

This one was funny. Made me lol a couple times. Which is goodstuff.

A little weird reading all these actor names as characters in the book and knowing the main characters father isn't an actor in the real world.

But that's fine. Still goodstuff.
