If you're looking for a slow-paced character study, then this will be for you. For me, this is a big ask. All of the background info (that I read) came in flashbacks that felt overly convoluted (a 10 page chapter 23 pages in detailing her drug-fuelled bar crawls - 😴 interestingly her drug use just stopped too 🤨). Ruby is a very uninteresting POV to follow. A very enjoyable thriller series for me is told through the POV of a funny female serial killer and I was hoping for a similarly likeable character but Ruby is so flat.
