About this listen

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.

lt was a wonderful, sad, frustrating and beautiful view of what was a voyage l felt we were on together. The writer certainly knew how an introvert can come across as an extrovert. l really loved the two main characters and the descriptions of New Zealand.

This is the third Slade novel I’ve listened to and she really does nail the rom-com novel format for me. Enjoyable characters, fun situations, a sprinkling of spice and just a hint of the mystical. An excellent performance from Eleanor Tomlinson too. A super-fun read.

Another great Leeanne Slade novel
