Resumen del Editor
A powerful novel that's "hilarious, heartbreaking, and ass-kicking" (Jamie Ford) about a Puerto Rican family in Staten Island who discovers their long‑missing sister is potentially alive and cast on a reality TV show, and sets out to bring her home.
Winner of the 2024 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction · Longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize · March Indie Next Pick · Belletrist, Phenomenal, Page & Pairing, and Readers Digest book club pick
The Ramirez women of Staten Island orbit around absence. When thirteen‑year‑old middle child Ruthy disappeared after track practice without a trace, it left the family scarred and scrambling. One night, twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica spots a woman on her TV screen in Catfight, a raunchy reality show. She rushes to tell her younger sister, Nina: This woman's hair is dyed red, and she calls herself Ruby, but the beauty mark under her left eye is instantly recognizable. Could it be Ruthy, after all this time?
The years since Ruthy's disappearance haven't been easy on the Ramirez family. It’s 2008, and their mother, Dolores, still struggles with the loss, Jessica juggles a newborn baby with her hospital job, and Nina, after four successful years at college, has returned home to medical school rejections and is forced to work in the mall folding tiny bedazzled thongs at the lingerie store.
After seeing maybe‑Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina hatch a plan to drive to where the show is filmed in search of their long‑lost sister. When Dolores catches wind of their scheme, she insists on joining, along with her pot-stirring holy roller best friend, Irene. What follows is a family road trip and reckoning that will force the Ramirez women to finally face the past and look toward a future—with or without Ruthy in it.
What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is a vivid family portrait, in all its shattered reality, exploring the familial bonds between women and cycles of generational violence, colonialism, race, and silence, replete with snark, resentment, tenderness, and, of course, love.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Narrating her own work, Jiménez smoothly delivers the raw and honest dialogue. She embodies each of the indomitable Ramirez women, effectively conveying their sorrow at losing Ruthy and the pain that subsequent trauma brings to their lives. Short chapters revealing Ruthy’s 13-year-old self, interspersed between her family’s perspectives in the present, will keep listeners hooked . . . Jiménez’s prose and narration shine in this engaging and powerful debut novel exploring identity, trauma, and enduring familial bonds."—Library Journal
"A rollicking, heartfelt tale of family, grief, and intergenerational healing."—Elle
“A funny and heartbreaking examination of sisterhood, generational trauma and the bonds that hold families together.”—Today.com

Growing up in an affluent suburb of New York City, 16-year-old Nevaeh Levitz never thought much about her biracial roots. When her Black mom and Jewish dad split up, she relocates to her mom's family home in Harlem and is forced to confront her identity for the first time. Nevaeh wants to get to know her extended family, but because she inadvertently passes as white, her cousin thinks she's too privileged, pampered, and selfish to relate to the injustices African Americans face on a daily basis.

On April 27, 1997, four contestants make it to the final cell of the Quigley House, a full-contact haunted escape room in Lincoln, Nebraska, made famous for its monstrosities, booby-traps, and ghoulishly costumed actors. If the group can endure these horrors without shouting the safe word, “reprieve,” they’ll win a substantial cash prize - a startling feat accomplished only by one other group in the house’s long history. But before they can complete the challenge, a man breaks into the cell and kills one of the contestants.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Miles, a lead creative at a midsize virtual reality company known for its "original experiences," has engineered a new product called The Ghost Lover. Wildly popular from the outset, the "game" is simple: a user's simulated life is almost identical to their reality, except they're haunted by the ghost of an ex-lover. However, when a shift in the company's strategic vision puts The Ghost Lover at the center of a platform-wide controversy, Miles becomes the target of user outrage, and starts receiving a series of anonymous death threats.

Historia
Carmen and Grace have been inseparable since they were little girls—more like sisters than cousins, survivors of a childhood marked by neglect and addiction and a system that never valued them. For too long, all they had was each other. That is, until Doña Durka swept into their lives and changed everything, taking Grace into her home, providing stability and support, and playing an outsize role in Carmen’s upbringing too.

Historia
Miles, a lead creative at a midsize virtual reality company known for its "original experiences," has engineered a new product called The Ghost Lover. Wildly popular from the outset, the "game" is simple: a user's simulated life is almost identical to their reality, except they're haunted by the ghost of an ex-lover. However, when a shift in the company's strategic vision puts The Ghost Lover at the center of a platform-wide controversy, Miles becomes the target of user outrage, and starts receiving a series of anonymous death threats.

The Voice Sells This Book!
5 stars for What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez by Claire Jimenez! Most of those stars are for the voice in this book which was so vibrant I literally felt like the characters were talking to me. The author's attention to the most mundane, everyday life event really makes the reader feel like you are there - on the bus trying to advocate for a little old lady who got off on the wrong stop or trying to do a blood draw on a patient in the nursing home who has dementia and is telling you that you were basically a "fast" girl in middle school or just trying to make it through your shift at the overpriced lingerie store where you struggle to fold the fancy thongs! It's hard to believe this a plot driven novel as the character development is so delightfully well done you don't even actually need the plot. Until the end. And, I think that is where other reviewers may have detracted a star because they did not get the resolution they had imagined. I am definitely a reader who appreciates resolution and I probably detract more stars for an unsatisfying ending than for any other reason. But this book does have resolution and it's tied up in the characters that you very quickly fall in love with. I loved the sisters and found their fighting and bickering so much more believable than the sisters in Hello Beautiful which to me - fell a bit short. Comments like, "Bi**ch looks like Elmo" had me laughing out loud and wanting to hang with these girls and their mom who had survived the ultimate loss - that of one of her daughters as a teen and was still kicking a** and taking names. There were strong themes of sibling rivalry and the sisterhood as well as the perfectly played Staten Island and Puerto Rican culture and growing up as a minority female and what is expected of you. In spite of the heavy event that happens in chapter one (the middle sister just disappears after school one afternoon) I found this book so funny and touching and actually slowed the speed of my audiobook down because I did not want it to end! I can't say enough good things about this book. Yes, there is a very heavy thing that happens, but the story is really about the family that survives and how they survive together. Loved it!

Beautiful story about strong women
I loved this book! The story line was quick, witty, and sparkling. I appreciated how each character got to share their insights. I learned a thing or two from Miss D for sure! Great authentic narrating by the author,too. This is a true New York novel!

This is an incredibly creative, brilliantly written novel. It’s an absolute delight, which one wouldn’t expect given the basis of the story. The author beautifully narrates each of her wonderful and lovable characters.

A tender yet fun story about family and hope
A wonderfully written novel whose characters are relatable and endearing. Fast-paced and often comical, this story had me laughing and cursing out loud as well as crying. The author lyrically writes scenes that have you enmeshed in the culture and characters. One of the best books of the year.

Pleasantly Surprising
After listening to the small sample snippet, I knew I had to listen to this book. I am half Puerto Rican, and grew up in the city of Chicago. I related to this book so much, Listening to all the struggles, and the toughness they had to endure, but still being able to love so hard. The struggles of not speaking Spanish fluently, but still being heavily influenced by the music, with references to Marc Anthony, and La India. The struggles with trying to provide a better life for the next generation. It was well written, and the narrator understood the assignment! She read the characters so well. It was like listening to my tias and tios talking. If I had one complaint, it would be that I wish maybe there was more than one narrator. Only because since I was listening to it, it was hard to remember which character's part she was reading. The book was short, but it told a beautiful, albeit sad, story.

Please! No author narration.
Through Audible’s superb recordings, we are accustomed to performances not readings. The author reads this novel like a spoken word poem. Which it is not. Her regional dialect is distracting and at odds with her NewYurican characters. The story is told in four voices. The audio would have benefited greatly from four readers, not one. This recorded book is a miss Audible.

I listened to this book more than any I’ve listened to. Every minute I could I had this on. It’s good, it’s real, it’s funny, suspenseful and I won’t ruin the ending. I hope more of her books are on here.

Masterful at merging comedy and tragedy in a great story.
Loved it! This story is really about the complexity of female relationships. I loved the interactions between characters. The narrator really brought the richness of the characters. I almost downloaded the kindle version and so glad I went with the Audible one. The thing I felt was so amazing was that ALL of the main female characters were strong. Typically there is a juxtaposition of a weak one. My only dislike is that the overall book is so short. I wanted the story to go on. I hope the author considers writing a sequel.
