The Return of Ruby Darling

By: Leeanne Slade

Narrated by: 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.

This was so good

I don't leave reviews, and I rarely ever give 5 stars, but I loved this book so much. I went to sleep way too late last night because I didn't want to stop. There was just a tad too much anxiety for me, personally, but I know people love that. My body just hates it. Other than that, it was wonderful. This is one that will be kept in my rotation of relistens.

Ruby and Nate

I don’t typically leave reviews but this book touches a place in my heart because it’s relatable. My best friend and I met in homeroom our 6th grade year in school. After graduating we lost touch until 3 years ago. The journey Ruby goes through, finding herself, and having her best friend by her side helping reminds me of me and my friend.
Wonderfully written, excellent character and story development! Already recommended this book touches 3 of my friends.

Had me laughing in my car

I loved this audible. There were scenes that had me laughing out loud in my car. What a perfect ending.

I didn't know if I would like this

Its rare to come across a book that really hooks me. The story in its simplicity is beautiful, well written and gives you all the feels. We all dream of this type of unconditional love. Beautiful

amazing

one of my favorite books this year. I enjoy all of her books. Falling in love while going on an adventure just perfect.
