Ruby Capote is a feature writer in Boston who decides to change up her life, which includes weaning away from Doug, her sweet but sometimes annoying boyfriend of a few years, and getting a new job. She persistently stakes out a New York newspaper, eventually sending copies of her columns along with a 6-pack of beer to the editor, getting the interview and nailing the job.
These big moves don't automatically fix Ruby's life. Family relationship issues from her past keep resurfacing. Her relationship with Michael, her editor, is tricky; she really likes him, but isn't sure about the signals she's getting from him. Meanwhile, once a week, a diverse group of her friends gather at her apartment for poker and talk.
For a light, fast read, there's plenty of substance in this story.
