The story of a girl in which society failed in every possible way. The chapter of her birth was exceptionally heartbreaking.

Great story! Told as a series of vignettes with significant people/relationships in her life, Ruby is a lovely complicated character
Neither writing style nor audiobook narration pleased me. Dakota Ray Herbert may be a fine actor (haven‘t seen anything she was in) but she should have been told to avoid singsong chirpy voice inflections, especially in a gritty & raunchy story for adults. Lisa Bird-Wilson buries her characters in similes (betrayal sat behind his eyes like dull warm pudding) & I knew that switching to print wouldn‘t help much. 3 hours was enough. #Indigenous
